Enzymolysis is the subsequent step of preparation coconut homogenate.Several enzymes that can buy can satisfy the needs of enzymolysis processing among the present invention effectively.Usually, these enzymes are recommended by the manufacturer, are used for the eucaryotic cell structure of degrading plant material, such as the cell membrane tissue that contains coconut oil (as, cellulose and hemicellulose).Various enzymes can use separately also can be used in combination the particular result that needs to obtain with other effective enzymes.The type of the preferred enzyme of method among the present invention comprises pectase, carbohydrase, cellulase, hemicellulase, and combination.The combination of preferred especially a kind of pectase, carbohydrase, cellulase and hemicellulase.The concrete enzyme that uses comprises Pectinex 3xL (pectase), SP-249 (carbohydrase), Celluclast 1.5L (cellulase), Gamanase (hemicellulase) among the present invention.These four kinds of enzymes all can be bought from NovoNordisk (Denmark).The preferred enzyme of method of the present invention is Gamanase.
Desire improves the efficient of enzymolysis process, should select effective enzyme amount, efficient temperature, pH value and enzyme processing time.Being provided with of single parameter needs with reference to the type of employed enzyme and other parameters in this enzyme digestion reaction.The manufacturer of enzyme generally can provide more guidance in these areas.In a preferred embodiment, employed enzyme amount be the coconut quality about 0.1% to about 5%, more preferably about 1% to about 3%, preferably approximately 2%.Enzyme is handled and can carried out (as, tank diameter) arbitrarily in the suitable containers.Preferred enzyme processing time is the required time that dissociates out fully or almost completely of the grease in coconut meat.According to the different processing parameters and the type of enzyme, enzyme processing time is usually at about 3 to about 36 hours.Enzyme processing time is preferably about 5 to about 30 hours, and more preferably about 7 to about 24 hours, preferably approximately 20 hours.In processing procedure, can stir a period of time earlier and stop to stir a period of time (can in same or different vessels, carry out) then as settling tank.Such as, add after the enzyme, allow homogenate stir enzymolysis 5 hours down in the temperature (as 50 ℃) that raises, under same temperature, do not stir enzymolysis 15 hours then.In the enzymolysis processing process, the coconut meat in the homogenate is degraded to each constituent, obtains enzymolysis product homogenate.At this moment, can be by measuring the process of content of oil and grease deduction reaction in the enzymolysis product.When the grease yield in the enzymolysis product homogenate almost reaches in the raw material coconut meat fat content, can stop enzymolysis processing.
Enzyme then carries out the separation of each composition of enzymolysis product homogenate after handling.Though multiple isolation technics can reach this purpose, press the proportion phase-splitting (as, by than reprecipitation or centrifugal) method is better, preferred centrifugal method.Parameter of noncentricity can be determined at an easy rate by those of ordinary skills.Industrial centrifugal machine effectively be set to 3000-6000Xg.If the use laboratory centrifuge, proved configuration fixedly rotary head IEC effectively be set to 9000Xg.At least can obtain three phases by this separation process: (1) solid phase, (2) water, (3) oil phase.Can utilize the degree of polluting mutually between each phase to estimate the effect of separation.Also may produce the emulsion phase in the separation process.Eliminating this phase also is one of purpose of the present invention.This emulsion generally comprises the mixture of oil and water mutually, and is stablized by the solubility surfactant protein.In emulsion layer, add acid or this layer can be separated into You Heshui its heating.The water layer and the oil reservoir that obtain can add respectively in the water and oil phase of previous acquisition.Following content is to introduce the further continuation processing that enzymolysis product homogenate is separated three main phases that obtain. Oil phase
Coconut oil in the oil phase has preferable quality.Because it is relatively gentle that enzyme is handled each composition of coconut (comprising grease),, the oil that obtains do not need further processing so can directly using.Because this reason, the coconut oil of acquisition have kept natural taste and fragrance, quality is better than RBD (refining, decolouring, the deodorizing) coconut oil that the traditional industry mode is produced.Further, this enzyme is handled and has been obtained a certain proportion of recovery with respect to traditional industry production.Usually, use the amount of the coconut oil that the method among the present invention obtains to be at least 70% of contained total oil mass in the coconut meat, even can reach 80% or higher.
Though the quality of the oil that enzyme obtains after handling is higher, if oil phase is further purified, quality will be better.After homogenate separated to enzymolysis product, oil phase can contain about 2% moisture.Utilize vacuum drying can reduce residual moisture, be preferably and be less than about 1.0% (mass ratio), preferably be less than about 0.1%.The step that should add can reduce the hydrolysis of unsettled triglycerides.Equally, the quality that can utilize short-path distillation to reduce free fatty makes it to be less than about 2% (mass ratio), preferably is less than about 0.5%. Water
The water that separates enzymolysis product homogenate acquisition contains coconut fragrance strong, pleasant, sweet taste slightly and lower viscosity, and can directly use and further processing.If it is about 5 that the pH value of coconut homogenate is lower than, coconut protein that this phase contains can account for usually from about 40% to about 55% of coconut meat Tot Prot.Because protein is dissolved in water under this condition, typical concentrations is about 0.1% to about 0.5%.
Though do not need further processing, water just can directly use, and also this phase can be separated at least graywater and coconut milk concentrate.By the further processing to water, protein and other need the concentration of material to be improved and to be retained in the coconut milk concentrate.The technical staff can utilize the method for concentration of knowing, as lyophilization.The preferred membrane separating method that uses is as ultrafiltration or inverse osmosis (though ultrafiltration may cause the loss of fragrance).Commercial scale is handled preferred inverse osmosis.After the processing, contain final protein concentration about 0.5% to 1.5% in the coconut milk concentrate.The most handy Pasteur's method sterilization water before separation, or the coconut milk of after separation, sterilizing.
Extracting the graywater product from aqueous phase is further object of the present invention.Usually, can keep certain impurity in the graywater product, such as residual sugar and protein molecule.Yet, utilize the method among the present invention can reduce the amount of impurity and improve graywater product quality, make it and can recycle.The water (see figure 1) of adding when in other words, the graywater product can begin as treatment process.Water recycle the sewage discharge that has reduced coconut enzyme processing procedure.The potential advantages of this operation also are to cut down expenses, reduce legal liabilities, reach and improve corporate image among the present invention. Solid phase
The solid phase of separating enzyme reaction product homogenate acquisition accounts for about 10-20% of raw material coconut meat gross mass usually, and contains about 10-20% of total protein concentration.This solid phase is edible.Need, also can further handle to obtain coconut grate product and coconut protein product.Can separate these materials with method for protein isolation commonly used.Preferably at first extract solubilising protein with alkali.In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protein in the solid phase extracts in the alkaline aqueous solution under effective pH value, and common pH value is about 9 to about 12.5, more preferably about 10 to about 12, and preferably approximately 11 to about 12.Any effective alkaline solution be can adopt, NaOH and potassium hydroxide comprised.The sodium hydroxide solution of preferred dilution.Usually, the ratio that adds the water of solid matter be about 1 part of solid phase than about 10 to about 20 parts of water (w/v); Preferably approximately 1 part of solid phase is than about 15 parts of water.Add alkaline solution then to improve the pH value of solid phase and aqueous mixtures, make it to reach effective pH value.Add extra aqueous slkali to keep the effective pH value of solid phase and aqueous mixtures at the alkali leaching process.Aqueous slkali can dissolve a large amount of protein (about at least 70% to about 85%) in the solid phase.After the protein dissolving, the filtrate of containing solubilising protein is carried out acidifying can precipitating proteins.The pH value of the acidic aqueous solution that isoelectric precipitation uses is about 4 to about 6, more preferably about 4 to about 5, and preferably approximately 4.5.The protein of precipitation is creamy white and is not with the coconut smell substantially.Protein that can the conventional method precipitation separation, preferred centrifugation.
Can also obtain the cocoanut fiber of high string content to the separation of solid phase.Need not further handle, the cocoanut fiber product is just edible.Simultaneously also can carry out drying to obtain commercial more value product with proper method.For example adopt spray drying process.
Do not limited to by theoretical, the present invention uses the institutional framework of enzyme degraded coconut, to allow the grease of wherein storage discharge.The result is, thick formula extracting method that need not be conventional (as, squeezing or volatile solvent extract) just coconut oil can be extracted from remaining coconut composition.Further, gentle enzyme processing procedure allow effective recovery of other coconut compositions (as, coconut protein, cocoanut fiber, and the coconut milk concentrate).Like this, the invention provides a kind of coconut meat multifunctional application, method economic, integration.
Though making these products from coconut not need further processing by the method among the present invention can be one of the object of the invention as the food-grade composition directly just, these products also can be used as animal feed or other commercial Application.Such as, the coconut oil that obtains by the method among the present invention is a food-grade, also can mix other edible products (as, cooking oil, baking batching or flavouring agent).In addition, coconut oil also can be used as industrial use, as being used as cleaning agent, soap, emulsion, reaching shampoo.
Further, other coconut products (comprising coconut grate product, coconut protein product, coconut milk concentrate and graywater product) that utilize the inventive method to reclaim can directly be used as food grade materials and mix in the food.Such as, these products from coconut can mainly be used in the nutraceutical (as, wholefood, beverage, and beverage mix).Though other application of these products also are well known to those skilled in the art, some following application have special meaning: (1) coconut milk product can be used as the tropical beverage composition; (2) coconut grate product is rich in the substitute of fibrous material as chaff and other.Simultaneously, the protein product that reclaims by method of the present invention has the protein content higher than soybean, also can be as the substitute of soybean protein.These are used and also non-exclusively comprise as meat additive, processed food, health food, sports drink mixture, baby food and baked goods.
