Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of functional peptide processing, and particularly relates to a method for preparing functional peptides from proteins in organic wastewater produced by freshwater surimi. BACKGROUND
[0002] The organic wastewater produced in the process of freshwater surimi production has high pollution and contains a large amount of soluble protein resources. According to the latest research, the pH value of freshwater surimi wastewater is usually 7.33±0.12, which is weakly alkaline, which is significantly different from that of seawater surimi wastewater. The wastewater contains a large amount of suspended solids and high concentrations of bicarbonate and carbonate, resulting in the formation of insoluble minerals of calcium and magnesium ions, and sodium ions as the main cations. The COD value is usually in the range of 800-1500 mg / L, the BOD5 value is as high as 290-580 mg / L, and a large amount of soluble proteins (about 15% of the total amount) are contained. However, there are many problems in the existing technology in treating this kind of wastewater:
[0003] 1. Traditional flocculation and sedimentation method: mainly uses inorganic flocculants (such as ferric chloride, polyaluminum chloride) or organic flocculants (such as polyacrylamide) for protein recovery. Studies have shown that when the addition amount of ferric chloride is 0.13 g / L, the flocculation temperature is 18.44℃, the time is 5h, and the pH is 5.44, the protein recovery rate can reach 86.94%. However, this method has the following limitations: metal ion residue problem, affecting the quality of recovered protein; large amount of flocculant, high cost; pH adjustment depends on strong acid, there is a risk of equipment corrosion; protein recovery rate still has room for improvement.
[0004] 2. Natural flocculant method: edible-grade biological materials such as chitosan and alginate are used as flocculants, which have the characteristics of environmental protection, safety and high efficiency. Studies have shown that chitosan has the best flocculation effect on freshwater wastewater protein at pH 7.0, and alginate and chitosan can form high-efficiency polyelectrolyte complexes, especially at pH 7. This method has the advantage of not introducing toxic and harmful ingredients, and the recovered protein can be safely used in food and feed. However, the use of natural flocculants alone also has some disadvantages, such as limited flocculation efficiency for high calcium and magnesium ion wastewater, and high cost.
[0005] 3. Membrane separation technology: by controlling the molecular weight distribution through ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and other methods, precise recovery is achieved. Studies have shown that membrane separation technology can recover 84% of the protein, but there are the following problems: large equipment investment, high energy consumption; membrane pollution is serious, flux decay is fast; pretreatment is needed to remove oil and suspended solids; membrane material is easily affected by metal ions.
[0006] 4. Electric field assisted recovery technology: In 2024, research showed that the protein aggregation recovery effect in surimi rinse wastewater under the action of low-voltage direct current electric field was significant, and the best parameters were electric field treatment time 34 min, voltage 55 V, initial temperature 22℃, and salt content 0.06%. At this time, the protein recovery rate was 92.23%, and the COD removal rate was 89.54%. The advantage of this technology is that the recovery rate is higher than that of the traditional heat flocculation method, the COD removal efficiency is high, and no chemical flocculant needs to be added. However, the limitation of this technology is that it requires high equipment and is difficult to be applied on a large scale.
[0007] 5. Enzymatic hydrolysis technology: Existing enzymatic hydrolysis technology relies on high enzyme dosage (such as 2-5% enzyme substrate for neutral protease), and does not combine small molecule peptides released by pretreatment, resulting in high cost and low yield.
[0008] In summary, the existing technology has problems such as low protein recovery rate, high energy consumption, serious membrane pollution, and large enzyme dosage in the treatment of organic wastewater from freshwater surimi production, and an innovative process with high efficiency, low energy consumption, and resource recovery is urgently needed. SUMMARY
[0009] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for preparing functional peptides from proteins in organic wastewater from freshwater surimi production. This method effectively removes large particle suspensions through grating and sedimentation, reducing the damage to machinery in subsequent processing. It removes impurities through gas-assisted pH adjustment and natural flocculation synergy technology, reduces the amount of flocculant by 40-50%, and reduces the amount of enzyme by 30-50%. It uses ultrasonic cavitation effect to destroy collagen deposition on the membrane surface, prolonging the service life of the membrane to more than 5 years. Different types of proteases are used for enzymatic hydrolysis to produce specific functional peptide products. The wastewater treatment efficiency is improved, the COD value is reduced by more than 90%, the subsequent processing burden is reduced, and the total cost of wastewater treatment is reduced by more than 30%.
