  • Method for treating and processing lupine seeds containing alkaloid, oil and protein
    Patent number: 6335044
    Abstract: A method treating and processing alkaloid-, oil- and protein-containing lupine seeds for the production of lupine seed products by selective fractioning. The invention involves the steps of crushing and/or shaping the lupine seeds to form platelet-shaped flakes, indirect introduction of heat into the platelet-shaped flakes, with water being largely excluded, to deactivate enzymes contained in the lupine seeds, de-oiling of the platelet-shaped flakes by introduction of a solvent for obtaining lipids and lipid-reduced flakes, disembitterment of the lipid-reduced flakes by an aqueous disembitterment process for obtaining an alkaloid-reduced refined product and an aqueous extract.
