EXAMPLES
(33) 1. Determining the Processing Influences on the Nutritional Value of Full-Fat Soybeans and the Standardized Ileal Digestibility Coefficient of Amino Acids in Poultry
(34) Full-fat soybeans (FFSB) manufactured from a single batch were used to determine the effect of different heat treatment procedures on the nutritional composition and the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids in poultry. Raw FFSB (K0) were subjected to a short time processing using wet heating at 80° C. for 1 minute (K1) or a long time processing at 100° C. for 6 minutes (K2) or at 100° C. for 16 minutes (K3), followed by further expanding at 115° C. for 15 seconds (K1/K2/K3-115) or at 125° C. for 15 seconds using an HL extruder OEE 15.2 from Amandus Kahl GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, Germany. Subsamples of K3 were further subjected to a heat treatment in an autoclave at 110° C. for 15 minutes (Z1), 30 minutes (Z2), 45 minutes (Z3), 60 minutes (Z4), 120 minutes (Z5), 180 minutes (Z6), 240 minutes (Z7), 300 minutes (Z8) or 360 minutes (Z9). Coming out of the expander the processed FFSB are transferred at a temperature of approximately 90° C. for 20 seconds to a dryer, where the FFSB are dried for 5 minutes with a temperature gradient from 85° C. to 40° C. After the drying stage the FFSB are allowed to cool to a temperature of 20° C. for 5 minutes.
(35) The total amounts of the amino acids and the amount of reactive lysine in the different processed FFSB and the processing conditions indicator (PCI) of amino acids in poultry were determined using the method according to the present invention.
(36) The different processed FFSB, the determined amounts of the individual amino acids and the processing conditions indicator (PCI) of amino acids in poultry are summarized in the table 1.
(37) The standardized ileal digestibility (SID) for each amino acid in poultry as a function of the PCI are shown in the
(38) The PCI of FFSB is compared with the curve of the SID for each amino acid of the
(39) A study of the standardized ileal digestibility coefficents of amino acids summarized in table 1 proves that the classification of the FFSB indicated as Z1 and Z2 as adequately-processed, of the FFSB indicated as K0, K1-115/125, K2-115/125 and K3-115/125 as under-processed and of the FFSB indicated as Z3 to Z9 as over-processed is correct because the FFSB indicated as Z1 and Z2 contain the highest digestibility coefficents. By comparison, all the other FFSB contain lower digestibility coefficents. This proves that the use of the PCI is a useful tool for the description of the influence of the processing conditions on the quality of the feedstuff raw material and/or feedstuff.

2. Determining the Processing Influences on the Nutritional Value of Full Fat Soy Beans and the Standard Ileal Digestibility Coefficient of Amino Acids in Pigs
(41) Full-fat soybeans (FFSB) manufactured from a single batch were used to determine the effect of different heat treatment procedures on the nutritional composition and the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids in pigs. Raw FFSB (K0) were subjected to a short time processing using wet heat at 80° C. for 1 minute followed by further expanding at 125° C. for ca. 15 seconds (K4), a long time processing at 100° C. for 6 minutes followed by further expanding at 125° C. for ca. 15 seconds (K5), or a long time processing at 100° C. for 16 minutes followed by further expanding at 125° C. for ca. 15 seconds (K6), using an extruder OEE 15.2 from Amandus Kahl GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, Germany. Subsamples of K6 were further processed in an autoclave at 110° C. for 15 minutes (Z10), 30 minutes (Z11), 45 minutes (Z12), and 60 minutes (Z13). Coming out of the expander the processed FFSB are transferred at a temperature of approximately 90° C. for 20 seconds to a dryer, where the FFSB are dried for 5 minutes with a temperature gradient from 85° C. to 40° C. After the drying stage the FFSB are allowed to cool to a temperature of 20° C. for 5 minutes. Another part of the raw FFSB (K0) were subjected to a heat treatment at 110° C. in an autoclave for 15 minutes (Z14) or for 30 minutes (Z15), or to a heat treatment at 150° C. in an autoclave for 3 minutes (Z16), 6 minutes (Z17), 9 minutes (Z18) or 12 minutes (Z19).
(42) The total amounts of the amino acids and the amounts of reactive lysine in the differently processed FFSB and the processing conditions indicator (PCI) of amino acids in pigs were determined using the method according to the present invention.
(43) The differently processed FFSB, the determined reactive amount of the individual amino acids and the processing conditions indicator (PCI) of amino acids in pigs are summarized in table 2.
(44) The standardized ileal digestibility coefficient (SID) for each amino acid in pigs as a function of the PCI are shown in the
(45) The PCI of FFSB is compared with the curve of the SID for each amino acid of the
(46) A study of the standardized ileal digestibility coefficients of amino acids summarized in table 2 proves that the classification of the FFSB indicated as Z11 and Z12 as adequately-processed, of the FFSB indicated as K0 and K4 to K6 as under-processed and of the FFSB indicated as Z13 to Z19 as over-processed is correct because the FFSB indicated as Z11 and Z12 contain the highest digestibility coefficients of the amino acids. By comparison, all the other FFSB contain lower digestibility coefficents of amino acids. This proves that the use of the PCI is a useful tool for the description of the influence of the processing conditions on the quality of the feedstuff raw material and/or feedstuff.
