Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Processes for the production of nutriments containing a high content of proteins from natural materials such as cereals that contain both starches and proteins which comprises comminuting the said natural materials together with their constituent proteins and starches, subjecting the comminuted materials to hydrolysis in the presence of water and a hydrolyzing agent to convert the starch-es therein to sugars, cultivating a yeast upon the said hydrolyzate.
and subsequently concentrating the resulting yeast-containing fer-mentation brew and drying the same.

Description

~ 3~ ~

Protein-containing nutriments today are in short supply worldwide. Many attempts have been made and processes have been proposed to produce such proteins in the form of yeast cells from various materials such as paraffin hydrocarbons, methanol, ethanol, etc. All of these processes have the disadvantage that they are to-day still too expensive and that such protein-containing yeast and bacteria are still not suitable for use as nutriments. Other mater-ials such as sugar, molasses, glucose, etc.~ are too expensive as starting materials for this purpose although, when used for the cultivation of yeasts~ they produce products which are well known to be suitable for use as fodder and food.
It has now been found that natural materials such as wheat, barley, rye, and potatoes that are rich in starches and also contain -between 5 and 15% of natural protein can be converted simply and cheaply to hydrolyzates for the cultivation of yeasts while at the same time retaining their natural proteins, thereby enriching the -resulting product and producing a nutriment with a very high content of proteins. The object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of a nutriment having a high content of protein from natural materials containing starches and proteins.
The foregoing object is accomplished in accordance with the processes of the present invention by subjerting the natural material together with its constituent proteins to comminution and at the same time hydrolyzing its constituent starches in the presence of water to sugars and using the hydrolyzate as a medium for the cultivation of yeast and subsequently drying the fermentation brew containing the yeast.
The process thus consists in first comminuting one of the aforementioned starch-containing materials, subsequently subjecting ~;
them to hydrolysis with water in the presence of a hydrolyzing agent ~ ', .
- 2 _ ~
,,: ' , to convert the starches therein into fermentable sugars, cultivat-ing a yeast upon the hydrolyzate together with the required amount of water and any additionally required nutrient salts, and then con-centrating and drying the resulting fermentation brew consisting of a suspension or slurry containing the yeast and the original natural protein or amlno acids to which the original natural protein was broken down.
The resulting yeast-containing fermentation brew can be concentrated either by direct evaporation or by drying of the resi-due, or by separation of all or a portion of the water by ultrafil-tration for the purpose of saving its evaporation cost.
FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a flow sheet of a process in accordance with the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a variation of the process represented in FIG. 1 of the drawings.
The processes of the present invention are further describ-ed in the exa~ples which follow, which were selected solely for pur-poses of illustration and consequently are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way.

The process that is described in this example is represent-ed in the flow sheet that is FIG. 1 of the drawings.
Cereal, such as barley or wheat, for example, which con-tains between approximately 65 and 70% by weight of starches and be-tween 8 and 15% by weight of natural protein is preliminarily crush-ed or ground in a mill 1 and the resulting ground meal or flour in-cluding the accompanying bran which is not separated therefrom is charged directly into a steeper 2 containing water where it is soak-ed and saturated with water.
The steeped cereal meal is then passed into a wet-grinding
- 3 _ :

l mill 3 where it is ground more finely and eventually passed over a screen or sieve 4 where it is freed from bran and coarser particles so that it can be pumped as a slurry.
The screened slurry is then passed into one of two kettles 6 and 6' that are provided with stirring means and into which acid from a supply tank S or an amylase (also known as diastase), Inter-national Union of Biochemistry Number 3.2.1.1., from a supply tank 7, or both, are added. The hydrolysis of the starches is completed in these kettles 6 and 6', which are used in series so that one may be emptied after the hydrolysis is completed therein and recharged while ~, the hydrolysis is still proceeding in the other.
The product of the hydrolysis, the soluble portion of which consists chiefly of fermentable sugars, is passed to a second screen or sieve 8 where fibrous particles and insoluble substances are removed therefrom and the screened liquid is then passed into a fermentor 9 which is provided with a stirrer 10 driven by a motor ll.
Air is supplied to the fermentor 9 through a conduit 12 from a source that is not otherwise represented in the drawingO The fermentor 9 is also provided at its top with a mechanical foam breaker 13 that .. . . .
is driven by a motor 14. The fermentor 9 is also supplied with oth-er control means that are not represented in the drawing but which are desirable and may be used.
A suspension of live growing yeast cells that are to be grown or cultivated together with nutrient salts and water, if re-quired, are then added to the hydrolyzate in the fermentor 9. Air ~-is continuously passed into the hydrolyzate while it is stirred vig-orously and the cultivation is otherwise conducted under conditions suitable for the growth of the selected yeast.
The hydrogen-ion concentration or pH of the resulting brew containing the yeast and natural proteins, together with any amino acids into which the natural proteins have been broken down during I' :

the hydrolysis and fermentation, is then adjusted to a desirable value and the slurry is concentrated by evaporation in a mul-tistage evaporator 16, dried in a drier 17, and collected and distributed in sacks 18 or other suitable packages.

The process that is described in this example is represented in the flow sheet that is FIG. 2 of the drawings.
Barely is coarsely ground in a mill 1 and is conveyed con-tinuously into the mixer 20 provided with a paddle or blade 21.
Water is charged into the mixer 20 through a pipe 19 from a -~
tank not represented in the drawing. The steeped coarsely ground `.
barley is then passed into a wet-grinding mill 2 in which it is `
homogenized and the slurry is then conveyed into a hydrolysis kettle 6 into which an acid or enzyme or a mixture of both is charged from a tank no-t represented in the drawing through a pipe 22. ;
After the hydrolysis has been completed, the hydrolyzate is pumped by means of a metering pump 24 directly into the fermentor 9 to which a suspension of live growing yeast cells, ` j nutrient salts and water, if required, are added and -the culti-vation is effected while a stream of air is continuously charged ;
into the fermentor 9. The hydrogen-ion concentration of ther fermentation medium in the fermentor 9 is adjusted with ammonia -that is charged thereinto from a tank 25 through a pipe 26.
The slurry of yeas-t that was grown in the fermentor 9 is then conveyed through a pipe 15 into the vaporator 16 in which it is concentrated. The hydrogen-ion concentration of the concentrated slurry is then adjusted in a surge chamber 27 after its concentration and the drying and collecting and packagin of the product is completed as described in Example 1.
From 65 to 80 kilograms of a protein concentrate contain-.'' ' ' '.',';,'' ' ~ ' ' .

ing between 55 and 68% of protein is obtained from 100 kilo-grams of starting cereal, depending upon the content of fibrous substances in the starting cereal.
