Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the subject purification method capable of efficiently producing highly purified non-protein nitrogen components (NPN) in a short time. CONSTITUTION:An NPN-containing raw material is subjected to electrodialysis desalting treatment using an ion-exchange membrane exhibiting a low NPN- blocking ratio to obtain a desalted NPN mother liquor and a concentrated recovery salt solution (A). The resultant desalted NPN mother liquor is treated with an ion-exchange resin so as to adsorb NPN on the resin. The adsorbed NPN is then eluted and an NPN fraction (B) is obtained. After (A) and (B) are mixed and neutralized, an electrodialysis desalting treatment is applied thereto by using an ion-exchange membrane exhibiting a high NPN-blocking ratio. Thus, the objective NPN is purified.

Regarding the purification of NPN, the patent publications and patent applications have been made as mentioned above, however, the N obtained by these methods has been proposed.
Since PN contains a large amount of impurities such as lactose,
Even if it can be used as a raw material for general food with enhanced NPN,
It is judged to be insufficiently refined as a raw material for specified health foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Further, in these methods, there are problems that the recovery rate of NPN is low and the processing time is long. In particular, when the above product is used as a raw material for cosmetics, since it contains lactose, molds and yeasts tend to grow, and the addition of a preservative is necessary depending on the cosmetic. However, the use of preservatives results in a retrograde trend to the elimination of preservatives.
When used as a drug raw material, it is necessary to further remove impurities and increase the NPN content. It is an object of the present invention to remove impurities such as ash and lactose from concentrated NPN and increase the content of NPN, so that the NPN can be applied not only to foods for specified health uses but also to cosmetics and pharmaceutical raw materials.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-34062 related to the previous application, the ion exchange method is desirable for increasing the NPN purity. However, in order to improve the NPN recovery rate and shorten the ion exchange treatment time, it was first noted that it is effective to desalt the mother liquor before ion exchange using an electrodialysis membrane having a low NPN blocking rate. did. In addition, after mixing and neutralizing the salt recovery solution (concentrated solution) containing a part of NPN generated at this time and the eluent of NPN adsorbed on the ion exchanger, the mixed solution is blocked against NPN contrary to the previous case. It was also confirmed for the first time that desalting with an electrodialysis membrane with a high rate yields a high NPN recovery rate and a purified NPN purified product with a high NPN purity can be obtained. The invention has been completed.

The NPN raw material may be subjected to the purification step as it is, but the NPN raw material is subjected to ultrafiltration (hereinafter referred to as UF) because the milk fat and the high molecular weight protein are mixed in the ion exchange resin and the like and it takes time to wash. There is also) processing, NPN
It is desirable to divide into a permeate containing Permeate and a retentate containing milk fat or protein. Therefore, the UF process will be described as a premise. Prior to the UF treatment, it is desirable that the NPN raw materials described above be cleaned to remove dust and the like so as not to damage the UF film. The molecular weight cutoff of the UF membrane is not particularly limited because it depends on the maximum molecular weight of NPN required.
About 000 to 50,000 is preferable. Further, the membrane used in the UF device is not particularly limited, and a hollow type, a disc type or the like can be appropriately used.

As described above, the permeate obtained by the UF treatment can be concentrated to increase the concentration and used as the NPN mother liquor.
In the usual case, lactose is precipitated when the concentration is increased, so that the liquid after removing it can also be used as the NPN mother liquor, as described above. In concentrating the permeate,
The concentration may be any of heat concentration, vacuum concentration, flash concentration, reverse osmosis (RO) concentration, and a combined concentration method combining these, but when heated and the permeated liquid is exposed to high temperature for a long time, lactose and NPN react with each other. Then, since the permeated liquid turns brown, it is preferable to employ vacuum concentration or flash concentration, which has a low heating temperature of the permeated liquid and is short and capable of increasing the capacity. When depositing and removing lactose from the concentrate,
A known method such as a method of cooling the concentrated solution or a method using a crystal can is adopted. The size of crystalline lactose is not specified, but NP
From the viewpoint of improving the yield of N, it is necessary to add seed crystals to precipitate as many fine crystals as possible so that impurities are not contained in the crystals. The method of removing the precipitated lactose is
By a known method such as centrifugation or filtration. Since these three types of liquids (permeate, concentrate, lactose remover) are stock solutions for the NPN purification process, they will be referred to as NPN mother liquors hereinafter.
As already mentioned.

The most effective method is to selectively adsorb N on an ion exchanger, and elute and recover this with an alkali (or acid). The ion exchange treatment method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-34062.
Known methods such as those described in No. 10 can be appropriately used. However, NPN is inferior to inorganic ion in affinity (selection coefficient) to the ion exchanger in the adsorption step,
In order to increase the adsorption amount of NPN, it is desirable to remove inorganic ions as much as possible.

The desalting method includes (1) ion exchange,
Possible methods include (2) gel filtration, (3) loose reverse osmotic pressure treatment, and (4) electrodialysis desalination. However,
The method (1) requires screening or development of an ion exchanger capable of selectively desalting inorganic ions because NPN is adsorbed on the ion exchanger together with the inorganic salt.
In the methods (2) and (3), the elution positions are close to each other because the difference in molecular weight between the inorganic salt and NPN is small, and therefore NP
The desalting operation of N mother liquor is complicated. Therefore, as a result of various studies on the method (4), a new finding was obtained that the NPN recovery rate of the finally obtained product greatly varies depending on the type of the ion exchange membrane attached to the electrodialysis device. The present invention focuses on this phenomenon and utilizes it efficiently. The method will be described below.
