  • Publication number: 20220007679
    Abstract: In a process for producing protein preparations from sunflower seeds a protein-containing flour made of dehulled and deoiled sunflower seeds preferably having a protein solubility in water at pH 6 of >15% by mass and/or at pH 7 of >25% by mass relative to the protein content in the flour is subjected to at least one extraction step with water at a pH of more than 4 and less than 9 to obtain a liquid phase as an extract and a solids-rich phase as a raffinate. Before and/or during the extraction step the oxygen concentration in the water is reduced to a value<7 mg/l and/or an oxidation activity is reduced by addition of antioxidant components to the water. After separation of the extract and the raffinate the extract is concentrated and/or dried to obtain a protein preparation having a high protein content. The process makes it possible to obtain qualitatively high-grade and sensorily appealing light-coloured protein preparations having a protein content greater than 75% by mass.

  • Publication number: 20200268014
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a protein ingredient for animal feed from seeds of sunflowers or rape includes shelling the sunflower seeds or rapeseeds up to a shell content of <2.5 wt %, mechanically partially extracting the oil from the shelled sunflower seeds or rapeseeds by pressing, up to a fat or oil content in the region of >6 and <25 wt %, and carrying out at least one extraction step for further extraction of the oil with at least one organic solvent or supercritical CO2, up to an oil content of less than 3.5 wt %; and subsequently desolventing, wherein at least one protein-denaturing treatment of the sunflower seeds or rapeseeds is carried out between the shelling of the sunflower seeds or rapeseeds and the obtaining of the protein ingredient. Due to its good digestibility, the protein ingredient can be used as an at least partial replacement for animal proteins in animal feeds.

  • Publication number: 20190124946
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant protein fraction from legumes or oil seeds for use in foodstuffs or in feedstuffs and to a process for producing the plant protein fraction. In the process a first protein fraction is separated from comminuted leguminous seeds or oil seeds using a solvent to leave behind a second protein fraction, and a water-containing protein fraction obtained by this fractionating step directly or after addition of water is subjected to treatment with enzymes one or more times, a heating to a temperature>70° C. one or more times, optionally a fermentation one or more times and a pressure and/or shear treatment one or more times. The plant protein fraction produced with the process exhibits a reduced immunoreactivity and has good techno-functional and organoleptic properties.
