Abstract
The invention relates to a method for processing rape seeds (A.A), according to which the seeds are hulled and separated into kernels (S.E) and hulls (S.G), the kernels (S.E) being subjected to one or more pressings in order to extract oil (P.A; P.C), leaving behind a press cake (P.B; P.D) containing solids and oil. Said method is carried out in such a way that the press cake (P.B; P.D) is either directly distributed or distributed after at least one further grinding process (K; W) as a raw material, filler or additive (K. D) for animal feed.
Claims9
A method for processing rapeseed, comprising:
- dehulling and separating rapeseed so as to provide rapeseed kernel fractions and rapeseed husk fractions;
- providing the rapeseed kernel fractions from the dehulling and separating step to a pressing step, the pressing step comprising subjecting the kernel fractions to one or more pressings, the pressing step providing oil and an oil cake, the oil cake having solid content and oil content;
- providing the oil cake to at least one further milling process, the at least one further milling process being a cryogenic or a room temperature milling process, the at least one further milling process providing a powder having grain sizes from 100 μm to 500 μm, the powder comprised of kernels without husks and having a light color of the kernels, the powder being a base material, filler material or additive for animal foods;
- wherein the method for processing is a consistent cold manufacturing process such that a denaturation of proteins in the rapeseed is avoided and such that denaturation of proteins in the powder is prevented.
