Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bee product processing technology, specifically an experimental device for enzymatic hydrolysis of royal jelly. Background Technology

[0002] Royal jelly is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and numerous bioactive substances, possessing diverse biological functions such as immune regulation, antioxidation, anti-aging, antibacterial, antitumor, and cardiovascular regulation. However, due to its pungent taste, jelly-like texture, and poor solubility, royal jelly faces certain limitations in direct consumption or as a raw material. Therefore, enzymatic hydrolysis is an effective method for modifying protein materials in royal jelly. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, the large protein molecules in royal jelly can be broken down into smaller peptides or amino acids, thereby improving its solubility, stability, and bioactivity. The enzymatic hydrolysis products typically possess superior physicochemical properties and biological functions compared to the raw protein, better meeting the needs of relevant industries.

[0003] The existing technology still has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Existing experimental apparatus for enzymatic hydrolysis of royal jelly has a problem with poor temperature control during the enzymatic hydrolysis process. It usually maintains the temperature at the temperature required for enzymatic hydrolysis by direct heating, which is prone to overheating and has a negative impact on the enzymatic hydrolysis process.

[0005] 2. The existing experimental apparatus for enzymatic hydrolysis of royal jelly still lacks an automatic cleaning function, making cleaning difficult after enzymatic hydrolysis. It also lacks a filtration function, resulting in the enzymatic hydrolysis products mixing with unreacted substrates, enzymes, and impurities after the enzymatic hydrolysis of royal jelly, which affects the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a Y-shaped tube is provided inside the body, the Y-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the inner top of the body, and the upper part of the Y-shaped tube is connected to a royal jelly storage tank and a protease storage tank respectively.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a partition is fixedly connected inside the machine body, an enzymatic hydrolysis tank is fixedly connected above the partition, the enzymatic hydrolysis tank is connected to a Y-shaped tube, a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, and a shut-off valve is provided inside the discharge pipe.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a motor is fixedly connected to the lower part of the partition, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, the rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, the scraper being in contact with the inner wall and bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a filter screen is movably connected inside the machine body, a discharge port is opened on one side of the machine body, and a hot air blower is fixedly connected to one side of the machine body.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the warm water tank is equipped with a heater inside, and the warm water tank is connected to the protease storage tank through a pipe, and a shut-off valve is installed inside the pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By adding protease into the hydrolysis tank using warm water, the hydrolysis temperature can be quickly reached. At the same time, the warm water can completely carry the protease into the hydrolysis tank, reducing the possibility of inaccurate dosage due to protease residue in the container. The combination of warm water heating and indirect heating with hot air ensures that the hydrolysis environment will not be overheated and will always be kept at a suitable temperature.

[0015] By setting up a filtration mechanism, unreacted substrates, enzymes, and impurities can be separated, resulting in a purer finished product. It also has an automatic cleaning function to ensure the cleanliness of the enzymatic hydrolysis container and prepare it for the next enzymatic hydrolysis. Attached Figure Description

The motor 13 is started to drive the scraper 12 to clean the inside of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 9. After cleaning, the water is drained.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] First, royal jelly and protease are stored in royal jelly storage tank 2 and protease storage tank 3, respectively. Heater 16 is turned on, heating distilled water to a suitable temperature.

Royal jelly flows from royal jelly storage tank 2 into enzymatic hydrolysis tank 9 through Y-tube 4. Motor 13 is started, driving shaft 10 to rotate. Shaft 10 drives stirring rod 11 and scraper 12 to rotate, causing the royal jelly in enzymatic hydrolysis tank 9 to... The enzyme is fully fused with the protease. The hot air blower 7 heats the enzyme hydrolysis tank 9 from the outside to ensure a suitable temperature for the hydrolysis environment. After the enzymatic reaction in the enzyme hydrolysis tank 9 is completed, the enzyme is discharged from the discharge pipe 14 and flows into the filter screen 6 to filter out unreacted substrate and impurities. Finally, the enzyme is discharged from the discharge port 8. When cleaning the device, distilled water is added from the warm water tank 5 and the royal jelly storage tank 2.
