A method of producing a bioproduct from a sea cucumber wherein the steps of weighing the sea cucumbers, cleaning the sea cucumber, and milling the sea cucumber in a milling machine for creating a sea cucumber pulp may be performed. Further, the processing of the sea cucumber pulp in a multi-step hydrolysis membrane reactor may be completed for the formation of an unfiltered bioproduct. Such a product may need filtering through an ultrafiltration membrane system to obtain a filtered bioproduct. Followed by inactivation of the protease to create a filtered bioproduct, to which drying may then be needed. The final step may be the application of the filtered bioproduct to a relevant industrial use may be described herein.

A process for enzymolysis of chicken includes the follow steps: Step 1, processing chicken into small pieces, transferring the small pieces into a reaction kettle, adding water and preheating; Step 2, stirring the chicken preheated in step 1, raising a temperature to 40 to 60° C., adding protease to perform enzymolysis; and Step 3, heating an enzymatic hydrolysate obtained in step 2 to 85 to 100° C., holding the temperature, and terminating the enzymolysis reaction. The protease is a composite flavourzyme including exo-protease produced by fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae and endo-protease produced by fermentation of Bacillus subtilis.

The present application discloses embodiments of a method for producing a feed. The method may comprise mixing selected protein sources to produce a protein mixture having an amino acid pattern that aligns with ruminant lean tissue, milk protein, or both; adding processing aids to the protein mixture to facilitate non-enzymatic browning of proteins provided by the protein sources; adding a solvent to the protein mixture to form a solvent mixture; optionally agitating and/or heating the solvent protein mixture; drying the solvent protein mixture to form a dried protein mixture; and processing the dried protein mixture to produce a final dry mixture having a particle size of from 800 to 1200 microns. Disclosed embodiments also concern products made by the method, and administering the products to an animal, particularly a ruminant.
