Protein suspension from brewer's grains, method and apparatus for obtaining same
11576401 · 2023-02-14 · ·

The group of inventions relates to the food industry, and more particularly to a method and device for transforming brewer's spent grain (BSG). The invention makes it possible to increase the level of recovery of edible fractions from BSG to 90-95%, and to increase the amount of protein in an edible suspension to not less than 50 wt % dry solids. The underlying principle of the invention is a technique for preparing BSG for nutrient extraction and extracting said nutrients by mechanical processing on a proposed industrial processing line. The essence of the claimed method lies in loosening BSG on a vibratory sieve, grinding the BSG in a colloid mill with the addition of water or centrate in a ratio of from 0.5:1 to 1:1 relative to BSG to produce a paste-like homogeneous mass of BSG, and then processing said mass in a screw extractor for further grinding and separation into two fractions: an edible suspension having a 90-95% moisture content and containing all of the nutrients of BSG, including protein substances; and ground BSG husks having a 60-75% moisture content, suitable for subsequent industrial use. The edible suspension is then mechanically filtered to remove ground husk residue, and the suspension is pumped into a storage tank.

Fractionated stillage separation

This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on a density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

ENHANCED MILK PRODUCTION EFFIENCIENCY IN DAIRY COWS
20180000119 · 2018-01-04 ·

A method of enhancing milk production efficiency in dairy cattle that comprises feeding the dairy cattle with a feed ration comprising a corn silage made from a brown midrib/floury-2 corn hybrid. Upon being fed to dairy cows, a feed ration comprising brown midrib/floury-2 corn silage provides at least about 4% higher in the amount of milk produced per unit of the feed intake, compared to a feed ration comprising non-brown midrib corn silage.

Method for feeding Hermetia illucens and used as for preparing composite material of pupariums

This invention discloses method for feeding Hermetia illucens and used as for preparing composite material of puparium, which comprises the following steps: S1, dry Hermetia illucens pupariums and grind them into powdery, S2, adding powdery of Hermetia illucens pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering, S3, adding the pupariums into hydrochloric acid solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S4, placing the pupariums into sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring, separating and filtering; S5, drying the pupariums, and screening out the granular pretreated powder of the Hermetia illucens pupariums. The invention also disclose preparation method of composite material and thin film of Hermetia illucens pupariums and antibacterial and antimildew additive. The method can effectively improve the yield of chitosan in Hermetia illucens pupariums, and the prepared pupariums powder can be used for preparing polymer composite fibers and thin films of the Hermetia illucens pupariums, thus, the antibacterial effect is greatly improved. A new antibacterial and antimycotic additive can be obtained by compounding the powder of Hermetia illucens pupariums with the powder of oyster shell.
