Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzymatic hydrolysis technology, and more specifically, to an enzymatic hydrolysis tank. Background Technology
[0002] Milk proteins are mainly composed of casein and whey protein. Casein accounts for about 80% of milk proteins. In milk, it is not a single protein, but a complex composed of several proteins such as α-casein, β-casein, and κ-casein. These caseins contain a large amount of phosphorus and exist mainly in the form of casein micelles in the milk system. Whey protein accounts for about 20% of milk proteins and mainly includes β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, etc.
[0003] Hydrolyzed milk protein, a product of milk protein hydrolysis, offers unique advantages. Nutritionally, the proteins in hydrolyzed milk protein are broken down into small peptides and amino acids. These smaller molecules are more easily digested and absorbed by the human body, making it particularly suitable for people with weak digestive systems, such as infants, post-operative patients, or the elderly, providing a quick replenishment of protein. Functionally, it exhibits better solubility and disperses more effectively in various solutions, making it suitable for use in foods and health supplements where high solubility is required. Furthermore, it possesses a degree of hypoallergenicity because the hydrolysis process disrupts some antigenic determinants in milk proteins that can trigger allergies, making it relatively safer for individuals with milk allergies.
[0004] In related technologies, enzymatic hydrolysis systems mainly use tank wall jacket heating or steam injection heating. This method causes some materials inside the tank to be subjected to high temperature impact for a short time, which in turn causes protein denaturation and seriously affects product quality.
