A kind of production method of corn protein isolate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of corn separated protein powder new product and extraction process technology thereof, belong to deep-processing technical field of agricultural products.
Background technology
At present, the corn annual production of China is about 1.1 hundred million tons, accounts for 20% of Gross World Product, occupies second, and wherein nearly more than 400 ten thousand tons are used for producing starch.The accessory substance of cornstarch is called corn protein powder, and (Corn gluten meal CGM), claims again " maize yellow-powder ".Corn protein powder contains the protein about 60%, deficiency such as, color and luster many because of its impurity and mouthfeel be all poor, lack essential amino acids such as lysine, tryptophan, biological value is low, had a strong impact on it in Application in Food Industry, corn protein powder is mainly used in feed industry at present.
Corn protein powder is that corn makes coarse starch milk through wet grinding technology, obtains seitan water through Separation of Proteins again, then concentrate drying and making.Main accessory substance during as corn wet method producing starch, its protein content is greatly about about 60%.Except that containing abundant protide nutriment, still contain other inorganic salts and multivitamin in the corn protein powder.Main jade contains alcohol soluble protein (zein, 68%), glutelin (glutelin, 28%) and globulin (globulins, 1.2%) and albumin four kinds of albumen such as (albumin, trace) in the corn protein powder.Utilize the main protein composition alcohol soluble protein and the water-fast character of glutelin of corn protein powder, reach the purpose of purification of protein, thereby the rough zein of low value is changed into high-purity, edible corn separated protein powder, improved the application and the economic worth of zein.For achieving the above object, former researcher carries out many researchs." research of New Processing Technology of Corn-Gluten Foaming Powder " (grain and feed industry that Li Yan carries out, 2002.3) in, with corn gluten meal, be that maize yellow-powder is a raw material,, remove the starch in the maize yellow-powder with α-amylase liquefaction hydrolysis, use the basic hydrolysis zein again, separate by milipore filter, technologies such as spray-drying are made partial hydrolysis, flaxen zein foam powder, and purity reaches 93.6%.This process using enzyme hydrolysis starch, and then starch removed, the cost of enzyme must be calculated.Compare with centrifugal separation equipment, use the milipore filter device, will improve equipment investment and cost greatly.Protein is through basic hydrolysis, and part generates peptide and free amino acid, compares with former albumen, and its physico-chemical property changes or partly.Li Yuanzhi etc. with lab scale simulation cornstarch market technology, obtain corn gluten (slurry before the maize yellow-powder drying) in the research of " the high efficiente callback method of corn edible protein and new purposes in the yellow slurry " (China Agricultural University's journal, 1992.7).Make protein coagulating by pH or the adding protein coagulating agent glucolactone of adjusting corn gluten then, separation, drying obtain edible corn protein powder at last again, and sample only contains the protein about 45%, belongs to rough protein articles.You Xin is in the technology of integrate extraction method for oil and albumen powder " a kind of from maize germ " patent (CN1907055A), with maize germ is raw material, go out corn oil with the alcohol lixiviate, dissolve protein with alkali, adjust pH with acid solution again, be settled out protein, by isolated by filtration, low temperature drying obtains corn protein powder.Used raw material maize germ in the patent is the raw material that is different from the conventional corn bloom, and does not point out the protein content of resulting corn protein powder in the patent.
Summary of the invention
Because the protein content of maize yellow-powder is lower, generally is about 60%, and color jaundice and have foreign odor flavor beastly, limited its application in food industry.Therefore, the present invention carries out operations such as degreasing, destarch to bloom bring up to more than 90% purity of protein, and color and smell are effectively handled, and prepares the corn protein isolate.
The major impurity of maize yellow-powder is starch (15~25%), fat and uranidin (7~15%), and increasing percent protein is exactly to remove starch, fat and uranidin.Purification theoretical foundation of the present invention is: starch divides straight chain and amylopectin, and amylose dissolves in hot water, and amylopectin also dissolves in hot water under pressurized conditions.Utilize this character starch-containing matter protein raw materials of purifying, make the stripping of starch high temperature, and alkali condition can promote starch gelatinization.The maize yellow-powder suspension adds alkali under hot conditions, saponification takes place, and grease is separated.Uranidin in the maize yellow-powder belongs to fat-soluble pigment, under the high-alkali condition of high temperature destructurized generation water-soluble, thereby reach the purpose of separation.
The invention provides a kind of production method of corn protein isolate, this production method cost is low, efficient height, product yield height, protein content height, quality better.
Of the present invention is a kind of production method of corn protein isolate, it is characterized in that, it comprises following operating procedure and process conditions:
The first step with water and maize yellow-powder to mixed, to rise: the solid-liquid ratio of kilogram counts 100: 6~12, and adjusting the pH scope is more than 8, is heated to 50~100 ℃ and be incubated stirring in water bath 20~60 minutes;
Second step is with the high speed centrifugation while hot of the feed liquid after the stirring in water bath, through centrifugation operation back centrifugate layering, the superiors are grease uranidin, the intermediate layer is starch dissolution fluid and the water-soluble pigment molecular of destroyed generation, the bottom mainly is not water-soluble alcohol soluble protein and glutelin, abandon supernatant, get the orlop insoluble slag;
The 3rd step is because a water-bath centrifugation is insufficient, getting orlop insoluble slag after for the first time centrifugal again adds water and stirs, to rise: the solid-liquid ratio of kilogram counts 100: 6~and 12, be heated to 50~100 ℃ and be incubated stirring in water bath 20~60 minutes, the situation of centrifugation is led to step 2, abandon supernatant, get the orlop insoluble slag;
The 4th step was dried to powder with insoluble slag, can get the corn separated protein powder by freeze drying, pneumatic conveying drying or spray-drying.
Be applicable to that raw material of the present invention comprises corn, corn flour, dry corn protein powder (the title maize yellow-powder is arranged), semiarid corn protein powder or the undried corn protein powder of crossing.The kind of raw material, quality and protein content will produce certain influence to the quality and the yield of finished product.
The present invention compared with prior art has following advantage and beneficial effect:
1, raw material is the accessory substance corn protein powder that cornstarch factory produces, and can be dry the mistake, also can be that partial desiccation is crossed, and raw material sources are extensive, are not subjected to the restriction of production area;
2, the present invention has broken through in the past that enzyme process removes two step purification routes of starch, saponification grease removal, and single stepping realizes that albumen purifies, and has avoided the brown stain that produces because of Maillard reaction, has reduced the amylase raw material, has shortened production process, greatly reduces cost;
3, adopt centrifugal separation equipment to separate, with respect to milipore filter appliance arrangement small investment.
4, the present invention finally realizes five general objectives, that is: purifying protein removes fat, destarch, and decolouring eliminate the unusual smell, and the albumen yield is about 70-80%.
