Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of distiller's grains by-product processing, and particularly relates to a processing method for multi-stage conversion of distiller's grains by-product by using various environmental insects and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Distiller's grains is the largest by-product in the brewing process, accounting for 80% to 90% of the total by-product weight. Therefore, solving the comprehensive utilization problem of distiller's grains is basically equivalent to solving the waste problem of the entire industry. Distiller's grains is rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of cellulose, fermentation products, and unused protein, starch and other components, and is a biomass resource with broad development potential that can be utilized. If these waste resources are utilized, pollution and carbon emissions can be reduced, which is conducive to the sustainable development of the brewing industry.

[0003] At present, the resource utilization of distiller's grains by-product mainly has the following ways: producing feed, fertilizer and burning heat, etc. Because distiller's grains contains a large amount of amino acids, vitamins and other components, producing feed from distiller's grains is the largest way of processing at present. In addition, distiller's grains contains a large amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients and can be released during crop growth, which has the effect of applying chemical fertilizer. Therefore, high-temperature fermentation to produce organic fertilizer is one of the important ways to efficiently process distiller's grains. However, the above utilization methods face the problems of high processing cost, low benefit, high energy consumption and large carbon emission. In recent years, some new utilization ways have appeared, such as using distiller's grains as a base material to produce strain culture medium, new packaging materials, biological fillers and flame-retardant materials, etc. However, most of these technologies are still in the laboratory stage, and whether they can be used for large-scale industrial application remains to be confirmed.

[0004] The ecological conversion of organic waste by environmental insects is a promising low-carbon technology that has received increasing attention in recent years due to its low energy consumption, high efficiency, and high added value of products. Patent application CN115462349A discloses a process for treating Maotai-flavor wine lees using black soldier fly larvae, achieving low-cost and high-efficiency separation of chaff, and obtaining black soldier fly bodies and sand products. Patent applications CN117356662A and CN116019183A disclose a black soldier fly biotransformation of wine lees with composite raw materials such as bean dregs and yeast sludge. In addition, patent CN115010797B discloses a method for converting kitchen waste into insect protein. Utility model patents CN216821355U and CN208211265U disclose devices for cultivating medicinal mealworms using wine lees. Although these devices alleviate the high mortality rate of mealworms in traditional breeding ponds (boxes), they require special equipment or devices, have complex conversion processes, and are costly. The above methods use environmental insects for primary ecological conversion of wine lees byproducts, but the resource utilization rate is low, and a large amount of residual material (black soldier fly, mealworms, and other "grains" that feed on wine lees) cannot be converted, causing secondary pollution and resource waste. Additionally, the feces of black soldier flies and mealworms have low composting degree (seed germination index GI < 50%) and small particle size (fine sand), which cannot be used as organic fertilizer directly and need to be composted before use.

[0005] Therefore, based on the characteristics of the "chaff" mixture of wine lees byproducts, it is necessary to develop a new treatment method for the multi-stage ecological conversion of wine lees byproducts using two environmental insects, which can improve the resource utilization rate of wine lees byproducts and solve the industry problem of long-term composting of organic fertilizer from traditional composting and insect conversion. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the above technical problems and the deficiencies in the field, the present application provides a method for grading and full conversion of wine lees and its application, which utilizes multiple environmental insects to convert wine lees, follows the natural law, and fully utilizes wine lees byproducts, with high resource utilization, no secondary pollution, green, low carbon, and high efficiency, achieving pollution reduction and carbon reduction in wine lees management.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] 1. The "grain" and "husk" of distiller's grains are classified and converted in whole quantity, without secondary pollution, and with a high resource utilization rate. The distiller's grains by-products do not need complex pretreatment such as fermentation, and are subjected to primary conversion by insects such as yellow mealworms and black soldier flies, to realize natural separation of "grain" and "husk" in distiller's grains. The mixture of the remaining "grain" and "husk" and insect manure is fermented, and then subjected to secondary conversion by grub larvae, to realize "whole quantity" conversion of distiller's grains by-products. The entire technical process realizes no emission of odors, greenhouse gases, wastewater, and solid waste residues, and is green and low-carbon, to realize innovative development of the distiller's grains processing industry with synergistic effect of pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

[0040] 2. The application solves the industry problems of low resource utilization rate of traditional insect (yellow mealworm, black soldier fly, etc.) primary conversion and the need for composting treatment of insect manure. The prior art mainly uses environmental insects such as yellow mealworms and black soldier flies for primary conversion, which has the problems of low resource utilization rate due to a large amount of residual "grain" and "husk" of distiller's grains, and low composting degree (GI<50%) of insect manure, which cannot be directly used as organic fertilizer. Through the "classified conversion" of the application, the mixture of the remaining "grain" and "husk" and insect manure after primary insect conversion is very suitable for breeding grubs (secondary conversion), especially the resources such as sugars, proteins, and lignocellulose in the mixture, to finally realize whole quantity conversion of distiller's grains by-products, and obtain yellow mealworms (or black soldier flies, etc.) finished insects, grub finished insects, and grub worm sand. The grub worm sand is in a granular form, has a composting degree (GI>70%) that meets the organic fertilizer standard (NY 525-2021), does not need granulation and composting treatment, and can be directly used as organic fertilizer.

[0041] 3、The two kinds of environmental insects of the present application are low in full-conversion cost, high in processing efficiency and product added value, and realize win-win of ecological and economic benefits. The grading conversion process is simple, avoids using complex or special breeding devices, and reduces the manpower, material resources and financial resources for processing of by-products of distiller's grains. Meanwhile, compared with traditional technologies for producing feed and fertilizer from distiller's grains, the present application has short processing period, low processing cost and high efficiency. The economic products obtained by grading conversion include not only yellow mealworms (or black soldier flies, etc.), but also scarab larvae, and the scarab larvae are a traditional Chinese medicinal material with high added value. For the grain and liquor industry, the present application can realize full-conversion of by-products of distiller's grains and obtain high-value-added products, realizing win-win of ecological and economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] A method for converting distiller's grains, the specific method steps are as follows:

[0081] (1) Crush the collected distiller's grains by-products (without drying) evenly, with a crushing particle size of 0.5-1.0 cm, and drain the excess water from the material, control the water content to 50-70%, and evenly spread the material into the breeding box, with a material thickness controlled at 5-8 cm;

[0082] (2) Put 2 age period grubs, the amount of material is 50%, the environmental temperature control in 25-35℃, and ensure the breeding space ventilation;

[0083] (3) In the grubs breeding process, every 2 days to material spray water, control humidity between 50% to 70%; Every 5 days add 30% of step (1) treated material, stirring evenly; Every 10 days screen out grubs sand, ensure the breeding depth <10cm;

[0084] (4) When grubs larvae grow to 3 age pre-pupa period, breeding 20-30 days, the grubs product insects, grubs sand and the remaining material (distiller's grains "chaff") three items are separated. Grubs product insects are dried by vacuum to obtain feed raw materials, grubs sand is dried by wind to obtain granular bio-organic fertilizer, and the remaining chaff can be used as material raw materials (fuel, building materials and chemical raw materials, etc.).

[0085] The data of each example and comparative example is shown in Table 1 (unit: %).

[0086] Table 1

[0087]

[0088] Note: The primary conversion insects of example 1 are all black soldier flies, the primary conversion insects of example 2 are yellow mealworms, and the primary conversion of example 3 is the same as example 2 except that no bacteria agent is added during the fermentation of the remaining compounds. Comparative example 1 only has a primary grub conversion without a secondary conversion process. The calculation formula of each example is as follows: separation rate = (chaff mass / distiller's grains mass) x 100%, mortality rate = (dead insect number / initial insect number) x 100%, weight gain rate = (harvested insect weight-initial insect weight) x 100% / initial insect weight, conversion rate = (initial material mass-final material mass) x 100% / initial material mass, and resource utilization rate = (initial material mass-final material mass) x 100% / initial material mass.

[0089] From the data results of Table 1, it can be seen that the technical method of Example 2 of the present application has low insect mortality in two stages, high conversion rate, and full conversion of distiller's grains by-products without secondary pollution, and the overall effect is the best. By comparing Example 1 and Example 2, it is shown that the selection of insects in the first stage is very important, and the breeding cycle of black soldier fly is 7-10 days, while the breeding cycle of yellow mealworm is 25-30 days, which has a great influence on the decomposition of the secondary conversion materials, thereby affecting the conversion performance of the second-stage grub; by comparing Example 2 and Example 3, it is shown that the addition of organic fermentation agent has a certain effect but is limited on the decomposition of the remaining compounds (distiller's grains hulls and insect feces) in the first-stage conversion, and the main reason is that the distiller's grains by-products themselves contain yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and bacillus, etc. fermentation agents; by comparing the first-stage conversion of the present application, it can be obviously seen that the graded full conversion of the present application has the advantage of resource utilization rate >96%, which is much higher than the resource utilization rate (<20%) of the first-stage conversion, and more abundant and high-value economic products (two kinds of insect finished products and grub insect sand organic fertilizer) can be obtained; it should be particularly noted that by comparing Example 1, Example 2, Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, it is shown that although grub can also be directly used for distiller's grains conversion, the distiller's grains by-products contain a large amount of residual alcohol, have high humidity, are easy to cake, and have low decomposition degree, and the grub larvae have low feeding amount, and the traditional breeding box (pool) device will cause a large amount of grub larvae to die (mortality >20%), and special breeding devices are needed for efficient breeding, which increases the breeding cost and limits its popularization and application. The graded full conversion of the present application can well alleviate these problems, does not need special breeding devices, has strong operability, low cost and high efficiency.

[0090] Furthermore, it is understood that, after reading the above description of the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the present application, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of the present application.
