The invention relates to the technical field of
insect resource utilization, and discloses a comprehensive utilization method for extracting
protein and
grease from insects, which comprises the following steps: selecting
hermetia illucens as a
raw material, crushing, adding water with the weight 2.5-3.5 times that of the
raw material, and stirring and mixing;
grinding the mixture to 40-120 microns through
bone paste grinding equipment; adding
chitinase,
lipase and
protease which account for 0.015-0.035% of the total amount, and carrying out enzymolysis at 52-58 DEG C for 3.5-6.5 hours; raising the temperature to 90-100 DEG C and carrying out
enzyme deactivation for 25-35 minutes; homogenizing by a
colloid mill until the particle size is 3-15 microns;
solid residues, a
grease phase and a liquid
protein phase are separated out through a disc type centrifugal
machine; carrying out
spray drying on the liquid
protein phase to obtain degreased
insect protein
powder with
moisture less than 6%; and standing and layering the
oil phase, and filtering with a 0.2-1.2 micron filter membrane to obtain the refined
insect oil with the
acid value of less than 2mgKOH / g. According to the invention, the quality and nutritional value of the protein product are improved, the equipment blockage risk and
energy consumption are reduced, and the applicability of the
grease food-grade standard is improved.
