Technology for the production of a potato protein preparation for food purposes through enzymatic hydrolysis
Title of the offer
Technology for the production of a potato protein preparation for food purposes through enzymatic hydrolysis
Offer description
The product based on this proprietary technology is a composition of amino acids, peptides, mineral salts and bioactive low-molecular-weight substances. It may be used as an ingredient of industrially manufactured food products or as a dietary supplement in the form of a protein concentrate, amino acid concentrate or a gainer for athletes. The product based on this proprietary technology has extensive cytotoxic effects on cancer cells in the stomach and intestines. This makes it particularly useful for people who suffer from any kind of malnutrition related to gastrointestinal tract disorders. Also, it may be recommended as a dietary supplement for children affected by growth disorders (growth delay), and for people who suffer from physical and mental exhaustion or recover from illnesses or surgery. It may also be an ingredient of nutrient preparations for elderly people with eating and absorption disorders.
The technology for obtaining the protein preparation consists in the enzymatic hydrolysis of potato juice in a membrane reactor equipped with a ultrafiltration module. The product of the hydrolysis is consolidated by evaporation. Alternatively, cryoconcentration or spray drying processes may be used, although they require higher energy inputs.
The technology is intended both for starch producers active in the potato industry who may use waste potato juice as a raw material in production processes, and for a broad range of fruit and vegetable processors. If the technology is implemented in potato processing plants, the entrepreneur is required to supplement their existing equipment with a membrane reactor, an evaporator and an aseptic packaging line. In fruit and vegetable processing plants, investments in apparatuses could probably be avoided, but the plant would need to incur the costs of raw materials. Parties interested in this technology could also include small biotechnology plants producing dietary supplements or pharmaceuticals.
