Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of producing a modified soybean product, such as a modified soybean meal, comprising use of a proteolytic enzyme. The invention further relates to use of a proteolytic enzyme in the production of a feed or feed additive product.
Claims16
A method of producing an enzyme-modified soybean product comprising treating an aqueous slurry of soybean flakes with a microbial proteolytic enzyme having specificity for arginine and/or lysine, wherein the enzyme-modified soybean product has a residual trypsin inhibitor activity which is at least 30% lower than a soybean product produced by the same method without addition of the microbial proteolytic enzyme and wherein the microbial proteolytic enzyme has an identity of at least 95% to amino acids 25-248 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A method of producing an enzyme-modified soybean meal comprising
- (a) defatting soybean flakes by solvent extraction;
- (b) grinding the defatted soybean flakes to a soybean meal;
- and
- (c) treating an aqueous slurry of the soybean meal with a microbial proteolytic enzyme having specificity for arginine and/or lysine, wherein the microbial proteolytic enzyme has an identity of at least 95% to amino acids 25-248 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- wherein step (b) is performed before or after step (c).
