The manufacturing of carrageenan and carrageenan product
Related application
The application is filed in the further part that be entitled as the U. S. application sequence number 09/798,012 of " manufacturing of carrageenan and carrageenan product " March 2 calendar year 2001.
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the method for carrageenan product, this carrageenan product of preparation and contain the prescription of carrageenan product according to the present invention.
The background of invention
Carrageenan is to comprise 1,3 complex mixture through the sulfated polysaccharides of bonding type α-D-galactose units and 1,4 bonding type α-D-galactose units linear polymer, and general formula is;
→3α)A(1→4β)B(1→3α)A(1→4β)B(1→3α)A(1→4β)B(1→
Wherein A and B representative is from two on the same group galactose residues not.
Carrageenan extracts the primary structure from red algae and formation marine alga.It is arranged in the cell walls and the cell matrix of plant tissue.The carrageenan composition of commercially available seaweeds usually based on the marine alga dry weight between 30% and 80%.
Carrageenan is widely used as food composition and works in food as milk-product, water dessert frozen glue, meat product, candy, beverage, seasonings and other this series products.Carrageenan also is used for non-foodstuff products, as makeup, toothpaste and other personal-care supplies.The molecular wt of typical commercial carrageenan product is from about 100,000 to 1,000,000 dalton.Carrageenan has the unique ability that at room temperature forms unlimited variety almost, the glue of various jellying points and fusing point is arranged.These glue need not refrigerate, can by freeze repeatedly-thaw cycles becomes stable.Carrageenan solution can make particulate, colloidal dispersion and water/oil-emulsion thickening, suspension, stable.Can be thinning during solution shear, make their easy pumpings.Solution also recovers viscosity and suspending power rapidly when leaving standstill.According to being applied to food, being present in carrageenan several or still less percentage point weight provides gelation, thickening and constraint, also assists to give foodstuff products suitable mouthfeel.Because these character, carrageenan are special ideal fat-replacers in the low fat food.
Carrageenan generally is dissolved in warm water, forms viscous soln therein.It is insoluble to most of organic solvent, typically forms complex body with protein.The main type called after of carrageenan κ, ι, λ, ν and μ.These are distinguished according to being included in the carrageenan repeating galactose unit character.Polymer chain can rupture by acid treatment hydrolytic depolymerization or hydrogen peroxide treatment oxidation depolymerization in the carrageenan.After cutting polymer chain, can obtain the carrageenan product of optimum gelling characteristic and viscosity.
In producing the canonical process of pure carrageenan, natural seaweed at first with cold wash to remove sand and other particle that may after the marine alga results, exist.Carrageenan is swelling not when cold wash usually, main because carrageenan and marine alga constituent in the marine alga, and normally Mierocrystalline cellulose is continuous.The difference that depends on the marine alga kind, the hot water extraction process generally is that the carrageenan that extracts uses alkali lye in pyroprocessing after the cold wash.Usually, the alkali of use is oxyhydroxide for example NaOH, the Ca (OH) of alkali or alkaline-earth metal 2Or KOH.This high temperature alkaline solution modification forms 3,6 dehydration bondings in the polysaccharide galactose units of carrageenan.Behind the alkali modification, filter heat extraction substrate,, add acid for adjusting pH to 9 or lower as Mierocrystalline cellulose, hemicellulose and other particle to remove insolubles.Filtrate can be concentrated into about 4% carrageenan and is used for later processing then.Extracting back selectable process step comprises centrifugal and bleaching.Pure carrageenan generally by with KCl or as the alcohol precipitation of Virahol from the extract acquisition of the aqueous solution.
Commercial size prepares the expense costliness of pure carrageenan, because viscosity and the so machinable speed of carrageenan product of gelling characteristic restriction.Behind the extraction step, hot water flow part only contains the lower concentration carrageenan usually, and generally about at the most 4%.When the concentration of carrageenan was higher, the aqueous phase stream thickness that partly becomes too can't effectively be handled.Therefore, water is handled the carrageenan that stream part per unit volume obtains relatively low ratio.
The method of seeking semi-refined carrageenan of more economical preparation and other products is as than conventional carrageenan substitute more cheaply.Half refining carrageenan (SRC) product be those seldom or do not have the marine alga constituent, mainly be the product that Mierocrystalline cellulose is removed.In preparation SRC process, salt such as KCl or NaCl usually when alkali modification and alkali add together.The existence of q.s salt prevents that the marine alga structure from disintegrating and suppress to extract carrageenan from marine alga.Alcohol as Virahol, also can be used for suppressing the extraction in the high temperature alkali modification step.After the alkali modification step, the marine alga structure is still complete, and the marine alga mixture of handling is dried usually to obtain SRC.If marine alga is Eucheuma family a member, the SRC that obtains is called processing processing Eucheuma marine alga (PES).
United States Patent (USP) 5,502,179 processes at initial (feed) material of marine alga and alkali and the insoluble solvent of carrageenan.With the mixture of this alkaline purification of solution washing, make shear-stress subsequently and handle (as extrusion or use shear mixer).Shear-stress is handled at least on the marine alga material of solids component 25%, and temperature was carried out between 100 to 175 ℃ about 10 to 200 seconds.Carrageenan material after shear-stress is handled can be dry and be pulverized, grinds or mill to obtain granular size at 0.05 powder in the 0.5mm scope.
Conventional carrageenan has some advantages with respect to the SRC that obtains usually from same marine alga.One of advantage is that they generally begin hydration under the temperature lower than SRC, and just they begin swelling and dissolving.For example, from the hydration at room temperature of traditional ι carrageenan, expansion and the dissolving of Eucheuma spinosum.Yet, just can hydration, swelling and dissolving derived from the PES (about more than 60 ℃) of Eucheuma spinosum up to being heated to earlier.Another advantage is that the glue that SRC forms is low with respect to the transparency of the glue of pure carrageenan because SRC contains cellulose substances and other material that conventional carrageenan does not have.Therefore, the use of SRC product is limited to foodstuff products does not need limpid and can and dissolve in the application of required high temperature preparation in the carrageenan hydration.Yet,, need and need not high temperature agglomerative SRC is provided many application.SRC have acceptable color and outward appearance be suitable for being used in human consumption's product also very important, for example, cream, ice-creams, other milk-product and beverage and non-food product, for example, makeup, toothpaste and other personal care product.
Therefore, need the low-cost process of the carrageenan product of production hydration characteristic raising, keep acceptable color and outward appearance to be applicable in the food simultaneously.

Detailed Description Of The Invention
The present invention relates to shear stress contains the carrageenan product from finished marine alga preparation process. Representing the marine alga kind comprises from Eucheuma, Gigartina and Irideae family. Better kind comprises Eucheuma spinosum, Eucheuma cottonii and Gigartina radula.
Finished marine alga can be by obtaining if required then neutralization with the alkali treatment marine alga. The alkali modification of natural seaweed is optionally and can be with alkali such as NaOH, KOH or Ca (OH) in the situation of salt such as NaCl or KCl existence2Carry out. The marine alga of subsequently water rinse modification can obtain salt. The product that obtains when as used in this, term " salt " refers to hydrogen atom when metal replacement acid. In the present invention, salt can be used in the form of the aqueous solution. If salt is used for rinsing, the same salt of using in use and the alkali modification process is better. Use sodium salt rather than sylvite, final shear stress product water dissolubility improves usually.
Drying is carried out in the carrageenan charging that contains that obtains before shear stress is processed, or partial desiccation or humidity and solid constituent are less than 25%. As used in this, term " solid constituent " is weight poor of humidity or water content in gross weight and the marine alga material blends. The water content of marine alga material comprises the water (as hydrate water) that may be incorporated into the marine alga material before the extruding, or adds the water of marine alga material.
In some cases, for example, obtain dry when containing the carrageenan charging, usually need to add water to the marine alga material of drying before extruding, to recover moisture.
Observe when marine alga material feeding stream solid constituent be 25% or when higher shear stress process and usually cause the unacceptable colour-darkening of material. The color that contains the carrageenan product is generally very important for the end user. When the end user prepares human consumption, for example, usually select not secretly in cream-coloured SRC product, cheap, the darker product of color is usually used in color important product not like this.
Perhaps, the difference of observing with the incoming flow that surpasses 25% solid although do not fully understand, is because the effect of the heat that water produces when being subjected to shear stress for incoming flow. Water can be gone out the heat dissipation from the marine alga material that produces in the extruding, reduces the degree that heat makes sugar fusing zoom in the raw material, and caramelization deepens end product. Therefore, when more moisture heat radiation is arranged, generate the lighter product of color.
The change color that produces during shear stress is processed can be monitored with human eye or suitable measurement mechanism. According to better embodiment of the present invention, darkening during shear stress is processed is characterized as the dry powder measurement of at least 99% powder by 100 mesh sieves with Macbeth ColorEye 3000 colorimeters and granular size and is equivalent to less than about 4.0L* unit.
For keeping carrageenan product and the prescription color and the unified appearance that contain this series products, containing carrageenan marine alga material should flow into extruder as rarer incoming flow. Such dilution incoming flow brings end product more attractive in appearance (thinking the result of carrageenan optimum hydration in the marine alga) usually. In addition, water generally needn't be removed from the algal product that contains carrageenan before flowing into extruder, makes the process of preparation carrageenan product more economical because marine alga is more effective at such condition down cut. The marine alga of wet processing can fragment form, about 2cm is better to 5cm.
Extrude is that shear-stress is handled more convenient method.The extrusion equipment of different designs can be used for extruding the marine alga of wet processing.The embodiment of extrusion machine includes, but not limited to twin-screw extruder such as Clextrall ModelBC45 (Clextral company limited, the Tampa, the Florida) and Werner-Pfliederer Model ZSK-30 (Werner-Pfliederer company, Ramsey, New Jersey).Selecting suitable device and extrusion condition is simple with regard to embodiment described below to the people who is good in this respect.
In one embodiment of the invention, use Clextrall Model BC45 twin-screw extruder.This extrusion machine has 8 buckets, and each internal diameter is that 50mm and length are 200mm.The long 1600mm of screw rod, center-distance is 45mm.The marine alga of wet processing can flow into first barrel open top by weightless twin screw feeder.With pump more water is joined first barrel adjusting solids component.All the other barreleds are joined induction heating coil and water cycle with controlled temperature.Also can provide exhaust to select to make steam to discharge, it is preferable to be contained in the 7th bucket.
In another embodiment of the invention, contain the carrageenan raw material be added to one with single-screw extrusion machine that a twin-screw extruder links to each other in.Single-screw extrusion machine can be, for example, Wenger Model X-85, twin-screw extruder can be, for example, and Wenger Model TX-57 (all can buy Sabetha, Kansas from Wenger Manufacturing Co., Ltd).Usually, the single-screw extrusion machine outlet links to each other with the twin-screw extruder inlet, for example, and with a heat insulation flexible conduit.
Although be not to want restriction, think to flow in the extruder system of twin-screw extruder that the heat that single-screw extrusion machine produces is the marine alga material that the twin-screw extruder of more shearing force prepares to contain carrageenan at single-screw extrusion machine.This heat is thought to make the carrageenan in the marine alga raw material to give aquation or is begun dissolving.Other produces this hot method and can be used for the marine alga material that heat prepares to contain carrageenan, for example, and high-shear mixer and/or high solid mixing tank.
The solids component that adds the wet finished marine alga of extrusion machine is generally less than 25% weight.The solids component of finished marine alga can, for example, about 24%.In one embodiment, marine alga material or the finished marine alga that contains carrageenan comprises about 23% solid.In another embodiment, finished marine alga comprises about 22% solid.In an embodiment in addition, finished marine alga comprises about 21% solid.In other embodiment, finished marine alga comprises about 20% solid.In also having an embodiment, finished marine alga comprises about 18% solid.In yet another embodiment, finished marine alga comprises about 16% solid.In a preferable embodiment, the solids component that contains the marine alga material of carrageenan arrives between about 20% weight about 10%.In another preferable embodiment, the solids component that contains the marine alga material of carrageenan arrives between about 17% weight about 13%.
The extruder screw configuration design becomes can provide the shearing that is enough to destroy the plain structure level of seaweed fiber.Typical screw rod comprises 5 high shear zone of being made up of delivery element, mixing pieces, and the reversing element is used for wherein 3 high shear zone.Delivery element transmits finished marine alga along extrusion machine.The reversing element is increased in the residence time in the mixing pieces that takes place to shear.First and second only contains delivery element with seven barrels.One screwed cap is guaranteed mouth template from extruder outlet, stays less relatively clearance.The clearance can be regulated to reach the required enough back pressures of suitable shearing.For example, Clextral Model BC45, the clearance of using 1.75mm.At this, mouth template has 3 holes, each bore dia 6mm.
For suitable shearing is provided, screw speed needs about 200rpm at least.Screw speed is preferable at least about 500rpm, and is better at least about 600rpm.
Extrusion temperature can be regulated to obtain best and effectively to extrude.The extrusion temperature that improves can assist to destroy the marine alga structure, thereby discharges carrageenan from the marine alga constituent.
Preferably, the extrusion machine interior condition can make what is called " steam explosion " take place.Steam explosion is owing to the extrusion machine internal vapor pressure, rapid h substance from extruder die.Particularly, operate extrusion machine under high enough temp and pressure, steam pressurizes in extrusion machine, and the marine alga material that the result contains carrageenan is discharged into barometric point rapidly by the extruder outlet die head.The steam of staying in the material that has been extruded is considered to cause emitting physical form and change in the expansion of the die head shape of the mouth as one speaks.Usually, emitting material extrudes the line material from solid and becomes the particle of getting very thin, high level expansion, open architecture.The granule surface area that such particle forms during with respect to no steam explosion increases.
Promoting that the operation extrusion machine has several advantages under the steam explosion condition.An advantage is that the surface-area that the granular marine alga material that contains carrageenan increases makes the product cooling faster.The product of heat usually clings each other, and cold product is not sticking usually.Therefore, when amassing the increase mass treatment, product surface is improved.The surface-area that " steam explosion " particle increases also makes particle drying faster and hydration is faster.
In another embodiment of the invention, contain carrageenan the marine alga raw material can with hydrocolloid and/or other additive fusion or co-processing with by reducing cost or broadened application is come enhancement function and/or reduced cost.For example, if the carrageenan product is intended for use toothpaste, contain carrageenan raw material (as finished marine alga or the marine alga washed) can with fibrinous material of food grade such as Mierocrystalline cellulose, Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) and/or chemically-modified cellulose such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), methylcellulose gum (MC), Natvosol (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and Vltra tears (HPMC), and and wetting agent, buffer reagent, tensio-active agent, emulsifying agent, sequestrant, other SYNTHETIC OPTICAL WHITNER or staining agent, reodorant and similar substance mix or co-processing.Similarly, finished Euchema cottonii, finished Euchema spinosum and Euchema Mare Humorum algae raw material can with following one or more fusion or co-processing (i) Mierocrystalline cellulose, MCC and/or chemically-modified cellulose; (ii) other Seaweed Extract such as Furcellaria gum, agar and comprise their salt and/or the alginate of chemically modified derivative, for example propanediol alginate; (iii) natural Oak Tree glue and rubber tree juice, as Sudan Gum-arabic and karayagum, many mannosanss such as Viscogum BE, guar gum and konjac, plant milk extract such as pectin and amidated pectins; (iv) biosynthesizing natural gum is as xanthan gum, jelling agent and dextran; (v) protein such as gelatin and chitin; (vi) synthetic hydrocolloid such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), carboxy vinyl polymer (for example Carbopol product), methylvinylether/MALEIC ANHYDRIDE MIN 99.5 polymkeric substance (for example Gantrez AN product) and ethylene oxide polymer (for example Polyox product); (vii) starch, treated starch, dextrin, glucose, sugar, tensio-active agent, emulsifying agent and salt; And/or other additive, for example microgrid shape albumen, Microcrystalline Starch and analogue.Additive can be selected to contain the product of carrageenan and food and other use and contain the enhanced function that needs in the product of carrageenan product and comprise dispersion, hydration, solvability and other characteristic to be provided at the present invention.Such additive, function and characteristic are known, and for example, as U.S. Patent number 5,502,179 5 row 21 row and following etc. the description.Additive can be before shearing manipulation, in or introduce afterwards or add from containing the carrageenan product after shearing.Additive also can with contain carrageenan marine alga raw material before shearing manipulation or as a part of co-processing, or can with from containing carrageenan product co-processing after shearing." co-processing " or similar terms, as used in this, meaning forms with simple adulterant or stirs the correlated mixture of thing, and for example, as U.S. Patent number 5,441,753 at 5 row, 32 row and following etc. described.
Wet finished marine alga through-put rate can be different.For example, when using 1, during the Clextral Model BC45 of 75mm air gap, wet finished marine alga through-put rate usually from about 40 pounds per hour be up to about 200 pounds per hour.Generally, to special extrusion machine, along with through-put rate improves, the finished marine alga residence time reduces in the extrusion machine.As, to the Clextral extrusion machine, through-put rate is about per hour 80 pounds about 50 seconds of the wet finished marine alga residence time.The finished marine alga solvability of extruding is generally better when hanging down through-put rate, probably increases because of the finished marine alga residence time in the extrusion machine.Residence time increase makes the interior shearing of mixing pieces more.Accordingly, if the residence time also increases, under higher temperature, can obtain the wet finished marine alga that solubleness improves.The residence time increases and can reach by increasing extrusion machine length or improving the reversing component number.More be full of for following barrel in the high material through-rate equally, further strengthen the shearing in mixing pieces.
The cold cut of the finished marine alga of pushing from Euchema spinosum is separated temperature and influenced by the product salts contg.Usually, to the lesser temps solvability, preferable salt is NaCl.Effective salt concentration generally is less than about 25% weight, and it is preferable to be less than about 15% weight.Salt concn is better between about 2% to 15% weight.Required salt concn can obtain by water or the finished marine alga material of salt brine solution rinsing before extruding.From the finished marine alga of Euchema spinosum marine alga, salt concn is about 25%, and the highest swelling temperature is about 92 ℃ usually.Depend on extrusion condition and salt concn that the inventive method is used, the highest swelling temperature can be low to moderate about 10 ℃ to about 70 ℃.For example, the finished Euchema spinosum marine alga material of extruding sodium chloride concentration about 10% makes the highest swelling temperature low to about 25 ℃.

The Chondrus raw material that soaked alkali also is used to test the effect of high-shear extrusion system to different marine algas.This Chondrus raw material is washed marine alga by following method manufacturing (1) in fresh water; (2) mince marine alga to the needs size; (3) dry in 60 ℃ of air ovens; (4) regulate moisture content to about 30% by spraying 0.2N NaOH solution.Chondrus moisture content of raw material water is adjusted to about 29.9% (measurement).The moisture content that (during shipment) measures before regulating moisture is for being 22%.Material can't evenly add AccuRate too greatly, therefore uses a Fitz pulverizer to mince material to about 1/4-1/2 " sheet.(estimate about 8-10ft with small-sized ribbon blender 3Capacity) preparation raw material; Material mixing 10-15 minute with balance.About 29.94% (the actual humidity %) of Chondrus material moisture content.Actual humidity % measures water balance and is located at 150 ℃ with Denver instrument IR200.
Extrusion system: the extrusion system of use is as follows:
Feeder/feed rate-AccuRate board apparatus is from AccuRate, Whitewater, and the Wisconsin is commercial to be bought, and is calibrated to 54 kilograms/hour that use 77% moisture material;
Single-screw extrusion machine-Wenger X-20 is at 500rpm, temperature out 95-100 ℃ of operation;
Twin-screw extruder-Wenger TX-52 is at 454rpm, temperature out 120-180 ℃ of operation;
Twin screw outlet mouth template-single 4mm diametric hole;
Twin screw top hole pressure manual adjustment mouth mould throttling valve is to keep maximum top hole pressure and bucket compactedness (residence time).
Handle: in the carrageenan leaching process, the X-20 screw element is the maximum shear configuration, therefore, can not transmit the horizontal Chondrus material of high solid and pass through extrusion machine.Form very fine and close, solid material plug at the X-20 proximal end, and stop up all and flow.This stopper explanation is from extrusion machine heat-coking that the mechanical energy input causes and the autocatalysis acid hydrolysis of decomposing from carrageenan.Walk around single-screw extrusion machine, raw material flows directly into TX-52.Although twin-screw extruder can transmit raw material, the product that machine comes out by coking (temperature out is up to 180 ℃).Screw speed and barrel temperature all reduce to 170RPM and 100-130 ℃ respectively, and a last bucket has water coolant so that coking minimizes.Yet, infer the still too violent degraded that consequently can not prevent carrageenan fully of extrusion condition.
Brabender hydration line chart: the carrageenan that Brabender hydration line chart confirmation Chondrus material contains is being extruded middle destruction.Produce typical B rabender viscosity peak although the Chondrus raw material shows, the Chondrus material that is extruded completely loses viscosity.Further do not test.
These presentation of results process of the present invention is the feed that high shear process is only applicable to high moisture content.The pattern of process shows that the high-moisture level helps (1) lower material density; (2) carrageenan is partially hydrated in single-screw extrusion machine; (3) increase in screw rod-feed contact interface lubrication; (4) heat absorption increases; (5) temperature condition that the carrageenan degraded is minimized.As if need all of these factors taken together so that the operational process success.
Prove as embodiment 1-3, the Cottonii product from humidity raw material between 75-85% and under constant processing conditions, extrude generally very similar.Yet, by two important functionality differences.At first, product viscosity takes place below 80% obviously to reduce along with moisture content of raw material drops to.Usually be not accepted the SRC that is used for as thickening material than low production viscosity.Secondly, product powder color is along with moisture content of raw material drops to significantly deepening below 80%.For maintaining the SRC that uses in the almost colourless or white food in color, darker powder color is not accepted.
In addition, the high solid raw material, for example the Chondrus of 30% moisture generally is not suitable for process of the present invention.The high-shear extrusion condition does not have under the proper lubrication effect situation of water too violent in raw material.In the low moisture raw material, the carrageenan in the marine alga is degraded fully in this process.

The toothpaste elixir
In this example, toothpaste elixir test is all carried out 65 ℃ of process temperatures and 71 ℃.
The intensity of the ready toothpaste of toothpaste Cuba level measurement.The thermal shocking degree is by the variation decision of toothpaste intensity after storing 3 days under 50 ℃.Brabender toothpaste elixir test provides about making the extra information of toothpaste process: when dissolve generations (when and temperature), whether hydration complete, the processing medium viscosity contribute and viscosity to the contribution of the finished product,
Slope and viscosity when table 13 and 14 compares the toothpaste elixir solubility curve temperature that Cuba's change of rank is high in keeping than the actual toothpaste storage.
Spinosum, the spinosum that washed that extrudes and toothpaste that table 13 was relatively washed when 65 ℃ of process temperatures extract mixture.Have positive slope to show not have a kind of be consoluet to all 3 kinds of samples in the time of 65 ℃.The spinosum that crosses of spinosum that relatively washed and washing of extruding shows that both slopes have a little different, but the spinosum that extrudes and washed is significantly increased in Cuba's grade, illustrate that raising is from extruding.Spinosum that relatively extrudes and washed and toothpaste extract mixture and show similar 1 day, 25 ℃ toothpaste Cuba grades, although processing viscosity has a great difference.These two kinds of sample slope differences are very big, are interpreted as the difference of thermal oscillation.The slope of extract is 28.8BU/ minute, and showing increases by 4 Cuba units, from 5 to 9; Yet slope is 2.0BU/ minute the spinosum that extrudes and washed, and showing increases by 2 Cuba units, from 6 to 8.Think acceptablely although increase by 2 Cuba units, increase by 4 Cuba units and then can not accept.
Table 14 is at 71 ℃ of same down relatively 3 kinds of samples of process temperature.The negative slope of spinosum that extrudes and washed and toothpaste extract shows their dissolvings fully under this higher process temperature.Higher Cuba's grade also reflects this point, and these three kinds of samples do not have thermal oscillation.
Brabender elixir test result also provides about the different information of processing viscosity, and Cuba's grade does not have.Although relatively near the toothpaste extract, the processing viscosity of the spinosum that extrudes and washed is much lower, shown in Brabender elixir test result on Cuba unit and high final cooling viscosity for the spinosum that extrudes and washed.In this example, low processing viscosity is advantage in general toothpaste preparation.
