Embodiment Construction

[0025]This procedure allows for efficient pilot plant-scale or commercial-scale processing of flaxseed and the separation of various useful components extracted from flaxseed.

[0026] This article describes the continuous dehulling process that separates the linseed husk from the kernel. Useful products can then be extracted from various flaxseed components, including one that is very high in lignans. In addition, this process allows the separation of the various components of the husk of the flaxseed, resulting in a husk fraction rich in lignans.

[0027] The invention provides a continuous processing method capable of separating linseed husks from kernels. The flaxseed is first dried to reduce its moisture content to approximately 0.5% to 3.0%; the dried flaxseed is then continuously fed into a separate bin equipped with a coarse grinding rotator. In the separation bin, the dried flaxseeds pass through the kibble spinner at an appropriate speed so that the flaxseeds are d...

Abstract

A continuous process for separating components of flaxseed is described. Flaxseed is dried to a moisture content of from about 0.5% to about 3.0%, after which is introduced into a separation chamber having an abrasive rotator therein. As the flaxseed passes over the abrasive rotator, contact with rotator separates the flaxseed components into hulls and kernels. Hulls and kernels are separated and may be used in this form or processed further. Hulls may be further processed by extraction with water and with hexane to remove flaxseed gum and oil, respectively. These two extractions may be done in any order. The process results in a lignan-rich component of flaxseed, a gum extract and oil. These separate components of flaxseed may be used in products such as feed, personal care products or nutraceuticals.

Description

[0001] According to the US patent application serial number 10 / 013,494 filed on December 13, 2001, this application enjoys the priority of US patent, and the entire content of this patent application is hereby declared and quoted here. technical field [0002] The invention relates to the field of linseed processing technology, in particular the continuous dehulling, separation of the dehulled products, extraction and production of useful products that can be used as ingredients for medicinal nutraceuticals, nutraceuticals, feed and other edible and non-edible products. Background technique [0003] Flaxseed is one of the main crops in western Canada, the northern United States, South America and some European countries. Flaxseed is traditionally used for oil extraction, and its meal is used as animal feed. In recent years, the importance of flaxseed in the Western diet has been increasing, because it contains a variety of nutrients that are very beneficial to human health, ...
