The present invention belongs to the technical field of
deep processing of peanuts, and specifically relates to a method and application thereof for simultaneously improving the
starch hydrolysis rate and
protein quality in hot-pressed
peanut meal. The specific method is that the
peanut meal is pretreated first: water is added after ultrafine
grinding, the pH is adjusted to 2, and constant temperature extraction is performed; after extraction, the pH is adjusted to 6, high temperature α-
amylase is added, constant temperature oscillation is performed for enzymolysis, the pH is adjusted to 4.2-4.7, the
enzyme is inactivated, and
centrifugation is performed;
protein extraction: water is added to the precipitate after
centrifugation, the pH is adjusted to 8-10, and the precipitate is obtained by
centrifugation; the precipitate is repeatedly extracted once, the supernatant is combined and the pH value is adjusted, and the precipitate is collected by centrifugation again; it is washed with deionized water, the pH is adjusted to 7.0-7.2, and the
peanut meal protein is dried to obtain. The method of the present invention combines pretreatment with
enzyme treatment technology; on the one hand, it can improve the degree of
starch hydrolysis and increase the content of reducing sugars; on the other hand, the protein purity, emulsification, emulsification stability and the content of amino acids of peanut
meal protein are improved; and the added value of the product is greatly improved.
