Abstract: A method is used in the production of principal products conveyed in plurality along a processing line, consisting of fish, poultry or other meat which contains, in addition to the principal products to be obtained, inedible components to be removed (removal components) and also contains edible by-products remaining on said removal components. The edible by-products remain on the removal components after removal. The method includes: loading a separating device with a batch of fish, poultry or other meat; separating the principal products of this batch from the removal components, comprising by-products, of said batch; separating the by-products from the removal components; producing a by-product brine from the by-products by comminuting the by-products and mixing with water and stabiliser; and injecting a defined quantity of the by-product brine into the principal products, wherein principal products and the by-products contained in the by-product brine come from the same batch.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to separate substances comprising: a frame structure; a hollow drum, wherein the hollow drum is driven in rotation and comprises a perforated circumferential surface and an at least partially open end side; a press belt wrapped around the perforated circumferential surface; a product intake wedge, wherein the product intake wedge guides a product flow into the apparatus; a support apparatus comprising a support element, wherein the support element is located on a side of the press belt opposite the hollow drum; and a device configured to discharge separation material pressed through the perforated circumferential surface, wherein: the separation material is pressed into a hollow space of the hollow drum, the separation material is pressed from the end side of the hollow drum, and a cooling device cools the separation material with a cryogenic cooling medium.

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.
