Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of enzymolysis of cereals and grains, and particularly relates to an enzymolysis process of cereals and grains. Background Art

[0002] The five grains usually refer to rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, and beans. Rice is rice, and the rice produced is the staple food of people in many regions. It has a soft and sticky taste, a fragrant aroma, is rich in carbohydrates, and can provide sufficient energy for the human body. Millet is an ancient cereal, now mostly called yellow rice. The grains are slightly larger than millet. After being cooked, it has a certain stickiness and can be used to make traditional delicacies such as cakes. Millet is millet, which is rich in nutrients and easy to digest. It is especially suitable for people with weak stomachs. Wheat mainly includes wheat and barley. Wheat can be ground into flour to make various pasta such as bread and noodles. It is one of the important sources of food in the world. Beans are a general term for beans, such as soybeans, mung beans, red beans, etc., which are rich in protein, dietary fiber and various vitamins and minerals.

[0003] In addition to the traditional five grains, there are also a wide variety of grains, including corn, buckwheat, oats, sorghum, etc. Corn tastes sweet and can be cooked, baked or made into various processed foods. Buckwheat is divided into sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat, which has a unique flavor and high nutritional value and is good for health. Oats are rich in dietary fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and control blood sugar. Sorghum can be used to make wine, feed, etc. Whole grains have many advantages. First, they are rich in a variety of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, which can meet the various nutritional needs of the human body. Dietary fiber helps promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation and intestinal diseases. Secondly, the glycemic index of whole grains is relatively low, which is suitable for diabetics and people who pay attention to healthy eating. In addition, different whole grains have their own unique flavors, which can make rich and diverse delicacies to meet people's taste buds.

[0004] In the existing enzymatic hydrolysis of cereals, a single enzyme is added to the pulp of the cereals to perform enzymatic hydrolysis on the cereals, resulting in insufficient enzymatic hydrolysis of the cereals. At the same time, the shells of the cereals contain cellulose and hemicellulose, which are easy to absorb the enzyme molecules during enzymatic hydrolysis, resulting in insufficient enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0005] Therefore, a whole grain enzymatic hydrolysis process is needed to solve the problem of insufficient whole grain enzymatic hydrolysis in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an enzymatic hydrolysis process for cereals and grains to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a process for enzymatic hydrolysis of cereals and grains, the process comprising the following steps: (1) Selection of cereals and grains; (2) Cleaning and soaking: Wash the grains with clean water and soak them in water at 30 degrees for 3 hours; Take out the soaked grains from the water and air-dry them for 20 minutes; (3) Shelling and separation: The air-dried grains are crushed in a crusher, and then soaked in water at 30 degrees to separate the husk and pulp of the grains to obtain the pulp of the grains; (4) Treatment: Add cellulase and hemicellulase to the obtained grain pulp and incubate at 30 degrees for 2 hours; (5) Disinfection: Place the processed pulp in a sterilization tank for 30 minutes; (6) Enzymatic hydrolysis: Place the sterilized grain pulp in a fermentation tank and add a certain amount of water into the fermentation tank; Add α-amylase, β-amylase and protease into the fermentation tube and mix them with the pulp thoroughly to form a mixture; The pH value of the mixture was adjusted to 6, and then the temperature in the fermentation tank was controlled at 50 degrees and fermented for 12 hours; (7) Separation: Take out the mixture after enzymatic hydrolysis and sieve it with a 200-mesh sieve. Press the solid matter on the sieve to fully filter out the liquid in the solid matter. (8) Concentration: adding polyethylene glycol to the separated liquid to concentrate it; (9) Storage: Store the concentrated liquid at a temperature of 30 degrees.

[0008] Preferably, the whole grains are selected from grains with full flesh and no damage or wormholes.

[0009] Preferably, the amount of water used in the enzymatic hydrolysis is more than 5 cm of the grain pulp.

[0010] Preferably, the volume ratio of the α-amylase, β-amylase and protease is 1:2:1.

[0011] Preferably, the stirring and mixing method used in the enzymatic hydrolysis is ultrasonic stirring, and the ultrasonic stirring power is 300-500w.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the enzymatic hydrolysis process of cereals and grains provided by the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: (1) By crushing the cereals and grains, soaking them in water at a temperature of 30 degrees and separating the husks and pulp of the cereals and grains, the enzymatic hydrolysis of the cereals to be hydrolyzed is more complete, and the cellulose and hemicellulose in the husks of the cereals are prevented from forming a complex fiber structure in the husks, which physically hinders the contact between the enzyme and the pulp. By adding cellulase and hemicellulase to the pulp after shelling and separation, the small amount of cellulose and hemicellulose in the husk contained in the pulp after shelling and separation can be decomposed into small molecules such as glucose, thereby avoiding the adsorption of enzyme molecules by cellulose and hemicellulose, resulting in insufficient enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0013] (2) By adding α-amylase, β-amylase and protease during enzymatic hydrolysis and setting the pH of the mixture to 6, the whole grains can be fully enzymatically hydrolyzed, thus avoiding the situation of insufficient enzymatic hydrolysis caused by using a single enzymatic hydrolysis.
