Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of eggshell membrane extraction technology, and in particular relates to an egg membrane aqueous solution device and a production method using the same, which integrates heating fermentation, cleaning, exhaust and concentration processes into one, and can automatically complete the above-mentioned action flow to obtain a high-purity egg membrane aqueous solution, thereby greatly improving production quality and efficiency. Background Art

[0002] Eggs have always been the main source of protein for humans. In addition to the edible yolk and egg white, egg shells are discarded as waste or used as fertilizer. In recent years, experts have conducted various studies on egg shells and found that egg shells, which were originally regarded as waste, have many available resources. Egg shells mainly include inorganic external mineral parts and internal organic matrix. The main component of the external mineral is calcium carbonate, and the organic matrix includes an inner membrane layer and an outer membrane layer. The inner and outer membrane layers are composed of protein fiber networks, and the total protein content of the inner and outer membrane layers contains about 10% collagen. Since collagen is the main component of collagen fibers between connective tissue cells in the human body, collagen can be made into collagen glue to fill corneal wounds, and collagen can also be used to make skin and tissue substitutes; and the remaining egg shells can also be used for composting or making detergents, etc., or can be made into egg shell calcium through more precise grinding and processing technology, such as: egg shell calcium, which is an excellent natural calcium carbonate and can be used as a health food. It is not an exaggeration to say that eggs are the most economically valuable products.

[0003] Therefore, the inventor has proposed an invention patent application No. I765373 in Taiwan, China, entitled "Eggshell and Egg Membrane Separation System", which includes a first cleaning device, a second cleaning device, an eggshell crushing device, a separation device, an egg membrane collection device, a drying device, and a grinding device. The first cleaning device and the second cleaning device are adjacently arranged, the second cleaning device continuously replenishes the liquid part, and the liquid flows to the first cleaning device. The first cleaning device will discharge the sewage in an overflow manner, and contain a chemical agent or enzyme and a clean water respectively, which are used to physically and chemically wash an eggshell and an egg membrane respectively, and then send it to the eggshell crushing device for further crushing and keep it connected. The separation device is used to dry and peel the eggshell and the egg membrane, and then the egg membrane is collected by the egg membrane collection device and the drying device for heating to obtain a dried egg membrane, and the egg shell is collected by the grinding device for grinding to become small particles. The automated process can improve the separation effect of eggshells and egg membranes and their sorting efficiency. However, the above invention cannot further obtain the desired egg membrane aqueous solution and further extract the desired collagen in the egg membrane. Therefore, in order to improve the shortcomings of the above patents, the inventors, based on their rich experience in the related industry for many years, propose an egg membrane aqueous solution device and a production method using the same. Different from the eggshell and egg membrane separation system that only separates the eggshell and the egg membrane in the past, the present invention integrates the processes of heating fermentation, cleaning, exhaustion and concentration into one, and can automatically complete the above-mentioned action process to obtain the high-purity egg membrane aqueous solution, greatly improving the production quality and efficiency, so as to increase the commercial value.

As shown in the above figures, the egg membrane aqueous solution device 1 of the present invention can make an eggshell raw material 2 into the egg membrane aqueous solution 3, and the egg membrane aqueous solution device 1 includes a plurality of containers 11, a liquid supply unit 12, a heating unit 13, a condensation recovery unit 14, a hanging unit 15, a microwave generating unit 16 and a control unit 17.

[0019] The plurality of containers 11 are stacked together, and the side wall of the top container 11 has an interlayer 111, and the top container 11 has a containing space 112 inside to place the eggshell material 2, and the bottom of the top container 11 has a filtering function, and the top container 11 is provided with a cover 113 to achieve a completely sealed effect. It should be noted that the filtering function below the top container 11 is to have a plurality of holes on the surface of the material for drainage, and after separating the top container 11 from the other containers 11, the eggshell material 2 can be taken out by directly opening the bottom, which is quite convenient to operate.

[0020] The liquid supply unit 12 is disposed in the cover 113, and provides the clean water 4 and enzyme 5 required by the uppermost container 11. It should be noted that the liquid supply unit 12 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of liquid spray heads 121 at intervals.

[0024] The microwave generating unit 16 is arranged on the inner surface of another container 11 located below. The microwaves generated by the microwave generating unit 16 destroy the protein bonds of the egg membrane aqueous solution 3.

In addition, the egg membrane aqueous solution device 1 of the present invention further has an activated carbon filter layer 110, which is disposed in another container 11 below the ultraviolet light unit 19, and the drain port 114 is located on one side of the container 11 to remove the odor in the egg membrane aqueous solution 3.

[0027] In summary, when the egg membrane aqueous solution device 1 is used, there is a production method, which includes the following steps:

[0028] S1: Add the eggshell material 2 into the uppermost container 11, place it in the container 11, and add the clean water 4 and the enzyme 5.

[0029] S2: heating the container 11 to 50° C. to 70° C. and continuing the reaction for 6 to 12 hours, collecting the water vapor in the process to form the recovered water 6.

In the process, silica 7 is used to assist the egg membrane aqueous solution 3 with the water-soluble eggshell membrane 21 to precipitate solid insolubles, so that the egg membrane aqueous solution 3 is separated into solid and liquid.

[0031] S4: Vacuum and heat to 60℃~80℃ for reduced pressure concentration.

[0032] S5: Use microwaves to destroy the protein bonds of the egg membrane aqueous solution 3 and inactivate the enzyme 5. Finally, use ultraviolet light to sterilize the liquid state of the egg membrane aqueous solution 3 and take it out.
