Feed compound sweetener and production method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to feed compound sweetener, which comprises 10 to 99 parts of saccharin or salt thereof by weight, 1 to 20 parts of synergist by weight and 0.1 to 10 parts of reinforcing agent by weight. The saccharin or salt thereof, the synergist and the reinforcing agent are heated and dissolved in water and then subjected to spray drying; preferably, the feed compound sweetener also comprises 0.1 to 5 parts of anti-caking agent by weight, which is mixed after the spray drying; and the spray drying is performed by an anti-caking device. The invention also provides a production methodof the feed compound sweetener. With skillful and unique design, the feed compound sweetener can eliminate the metal bitterness of sodium saccharin, improve the comprehensive mouthfeel of the sweetener and offer comfortable feel like the mouthfeel of cane sugar; moreover, the active ingredients are uniform so as to obtain comfortable mouthfeel of the finished products. According to the invention,the dispersion performance in feed is improved, the product stability is increased and the use convenience and effect expression is enhanced, thus the invention is suitable for large-scale popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of feed processing, in particular to the technical field of feed sweeteners, in particular to a compound feed sweetener and a production method thereof. Background technique [0002] Feed sweetener is a kind of feed flavoring agent compounded by various sweet raw materials. It can use its own sweetness to mask the bad taste of feed raw materials and give the feed a comfortable taste, thereby stimulating animal appetite and helping to improve feed intake. [0003] At present, the main sweet source of feed sweeteners is saccharin and its salt, and at the same time supplemented with other ingredients to modify the taste of saccharin and its salt, commonly used are cyclamate, aspartame, sucralose, glucose, etc. . Due to the differences in technologies, equipment, and processes of various companies, there are many types and qualities of feed sweeteners on the market. Some products cannot create the sweetness si...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Raw and auxiliary materials such as sodium saccharin and various synergists, enhancers, and carriers in the feed sweetener produced by this type of equipment are difficult to achieve ideal mixing due to the different particle size, particle size shape, and particle specific gravity after crushing. Uniform effect, and the products produced by this kind of process equipment are prone to grading during storage and application to feed, resulting in the separation of saccharin sodium particles and synergist enhancers from each other, making it difficult to disperse in feed Keeping the ratio consistent with the formula design makes it difficult for the sodium saccharin, synergist and enhancer in the sweetener to dissolve in the saliva at the same time in the mouth of the animal, resulting in the inability to act on the taste buds at the same time, resulting in a poor taste quality of the sweetener Decreased, reducing the effect of synergists and enhancers, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect on the improvement of the bitter aftertaste of saccharin sodium metal and the taste of feed

Moreover, the products produced by this process have the characteristics of large angle of repose and poor fluidity, and it is difficult to disperse very uniformly in the feed, which reduces the expression effect of the sweetener in the feed

[0007] (2) Disadvantages of conventional spray drying process equipment

This leads to the fact that the finished product that is directly dried is easy to absorb moisture in the environment during the placement process, causing the particles to gather until they form obvious lumps

This will have multiple hazards. One is that once agglomerated, it is equivalent to increasing the particle size of the sweetener particles, reducing the number of sweetener particles distributed on the surface of the feed particles, and reducing the effect of the sweetener to improve the taste of the feed.

Second, if the agglomeration is obvious, it needs to be reprocessed, which increases the operation and cost of feed production

[0010] (2) From the actual production point of view, during continuous production, due to the problem of drying speed and discharge speed, there will always be more materials gathered at the bottom of the spray drying tower

[0011] The existence of agglomeration in the drying tower has obvious hazards. First, it reduces the fluidity of the product and affects the appearance of the product; The number of sweetener particles reduces the effect of sweeteners to improve the taste of feed; the third is to affect the discharge speed. In actual production, it is necessary to knock the tank from time to time when discharging, which reduces production efficiency and may damage the tank.
