Definitions

  • Natural protein is hardly digestible, sometimes indigestible. There a re many ways chemical ones as well as physical ones for denaturing same.
  • the human nutriments are generally consumed in the cooked state: the nutritive protein is during the boiling process in the presence of water denatured and becomes thereby digestible.
  • the heat-treatment of fodder proteins is of a quite different character, it is mainly performed in a dehydrated state of the fodder; water or vapour is only in certain cases present, e.g. during toast uig or extruding.
  • a heat -treatment in the dehydrated state is, however, only slightly effective and even the denaturing of hydrated fodder has only a partical effect if the hydrating has not been performed sufficiently. This is why the acidic denaturing of the fodder proteins is more effective than the heat-treatment of same: this method results in an irreversible change of the configuration of the product and the digestibility and the biological utiIizabiIity is thereby improving.
  • the unextracted, intact vegetable seeds such as soybean, pea, bean, lentil, rice may immediately be used for alimentary purposes. They a re used after cooking whereas the industrial heat-treatment of same may be considered as pre-cooking in order to simplify and diminish the user's task in the kitchen.
  • the unextracted, intact seeds may also be used for forage purposes though it is in this case necessary to take into consideration the presence, the character, and the composition of different substances in the seed.
  • the vegatable oils are mainly preferred which a re available in large quantities of high value and forming an energy source.
  • the heat-treatment has also in this case a double purpose: improving the digestibility and diminishing the ratio of anti-nutritive substances. It is, however, to be taken into consideration whether other valuable components a re not affected by the heat-treatment (or other treatment) performed with respect to the proteins.
  • the energy balance of the conventional heat -treating processes is disadvantageous considering the important heat Loss.
  • the energy is intermediately applied, it has to penetrate from outside into the seed (in case of grist into the interior of the granule) enforced by the heat effect of the boiling water or the vapour and it is obvious that the whole surrounding is thereby also heated.
  • It is entirely different in case of microwave heating since the radiation effects only the oscillation of the water molecules and heat is only at the very spot of the oscillation forming. If a wet seed is exposed to microwave radiation, the water molecules in the interior of the seed start oscillating and the water is boiling in the interior of the seed; the denaturing by heat and, consequently, the improvement of digestibility and biological utiIizability is, thus, performed without any notable loss.
  • Microwave heating has in this field generally been applied as a means for drying in an energy saving manner, especially in combination with other treatments. It has, however, sometimes already been applied for increasing the value of the nutriment, e.g. to decrease its myrosinase enzyme activity (Maheshwari et al., JAOCS, 1980, 194-199). There have also been essays with soy grist (Wing et al., Nutrition Report Internat., 4, 1971, 387-396) in the course of which an effect equivalent to the one of a 30 minutes autoclaving could be obtained by a microwave irradiation of only some minutes.
  • the microwave treatment is one of the energy-saving heat-treating methods: the microwave treatment effects the oscillation of water molecules inside the wet material so that the heat is forming in situ and the evaporation is moving from the interior of the seed or granule towards the surface; the generated heat Is not heating the surrounding space and the heat loss is, thus, diminished whereas the heat leaving the seed in the course of evaporation may at least partially be recovered by using appropriate devices.
  • the invention is based on the conception that the denaturing of alimentary and/or fodder proteins may sufficiently be performed by a very short microwave irradiation (several minutes) of their carriers such as intact seeds, grists, extracts, fractions at industrial scale if their moisture content is at the optimum value.
  • the treatment leads not only to a decrease of solubility but also to a considerable decrease of the ratio of anti -nutrit.ive components, e.g. the trypsin inhibitor content is diminished in case of soybeans; the digestibility and biological utiIizabiIity is thereby considerably increased.
  • the microwave treatment may successfully be performed during a continuous motion of the nutritive substances to be treated along the working area so that all steps necessary to bring the starting material into its consumable state including the pretreatment as well as the post-treatment, if any, may sequentially be performed within a short processing period at industrial scale and under advantageous technological conditions
  • the whole improving process may be restricted to a single step, i.e. the delivering of the nutriment to be treated (hereinafter: charge) through a microwave energized area (hereinafter: working area) by means of a known transporter such as gravity path, vibration path, or belt conveyor the said path crossing the working a rea .
  • working area is understood as an a rea which is along a certain length L t uniformly irradiated with microwave energy, e.g. the interior of a magnetron wherein the microwave field is effective along a path of L t length.
  • the charge is in the first step conditioned to the appropriate moisture content in any way known from prior art and then is performed the microwave treatment as the second step.
  • a further advantage is obtained if the microwave treatment is preceded by a flavouring operation so that the microwave treatment is applied to a charge containing already the said flavouring and/or odouring (hereinafter: flavouring) agent(s).
  • flavouring may be performed in the course of the conditioning operation or following same but always preceding the microwave treatment.
  • the importance of incorporating one or more flavouring agents into the charge before performing the microwave irradiation can be understood if taking into consideration the following.
  • the improved method according to the invention wherein a flavouring operation is (also) performed preceding the microwave treatment has also further advantages.
  • the flavouring may be performed either in the course of the conditioning operation or following same.
  • the variants a re shown in our Examples 20 and 21, respectively.
  • the conditioning and flavouring may, e.g., simultaneously be performed by adding the said flavouring agent(s) to the conditioning steep liquor.
  • the flavouring agents a re distributed in the hydrated part of the seed which is, of course, only a certain part of the seed.
  • the micro wave irradiation amends the molecular structure of the seed, the proteins become denatured, a small part of the carbon hydrates undergoes hydrolitic degeneration.
  • the hydrate rinds within the seed a re also changing, the structure slackens, and the distribution of the flavouring agents is covering the whole cross-section of the seed.
  • This metamorphosis leads to that the interior of the seed becomes an almost uniformly crispy medium which is showing a virtual homogenity towards the human sense organs whereas no rind formation is appearing at the surface of the seed.
  • Seeds flavoured or roasted in the conventional way are, however, only at the surface region undergoing a flavouring amendment (e.g. forming a salt layer) and the thin rind forming during the conventional roasting process is preventing the diffusion of the flavouring agent(s) into the inner regions of the seed. If a seed is e.g.
  • the taste is at the beginning of consuming it an intensively salty one for the dissolving of the surface salt layer in the mouth.
  • the salt quantity forming such a Layer may hardly be controlled and is mainly dependent on the dimension of the single seed and the homogeneity of the dimensions of the different seeds. If, however, the flavouring is performed according to the invention, the flavouring agents are distributed along the interior of the seed and the quantity of the different flavouring agents within the seed is mainly dependent on the one hand upon the concentration of the single components of the steep liquor and on the other hand upon the duration of the steeping.
  • the microwave treatment will be the third step.
  • flavouring agents may simply be added to the suitably conditioned charge under stirring.
  • Common salt, sugar and the like may be used as preferred flavouring agents.
  • a great variety in shade of different tastes may be obtained by choosing appropriate additional flavouring agents such as. onion, garlic, chili, pepper, curry, coffee, cocoa and the like.
  • a further improvement can be achieved if in case of legumes the microwave treatment is preceded by an enzyme treatment as set forth hereinbelow.
  • This treatment is intended to remove the so-called flatus factor as fas as possible.
  • the flatus factor - a small group of trisacharides present in legumes - do not belong directly to the an26rItive compounds, but may considered as non convenient constituents, since cousing discomfort feelings in the consumer. These compounds a re not heat sensitive, this is why heat-treatment is unsuccesful.
  • the conditioned object following the conditioning, but in any cases before microwave treatment, is incubated preferably in a solution, which contains in water or in a 0.1-0.5 % solution of sodium bicarbonate technical grade invertase or so called raffinose splitting enzyme, i.e. -ga lactosidase enzyme.
  • the temperature of the incubation might be between 16 and 60 C° and is inversely proportional with the incubation time which is depending from the temperature between 24 and 8 hours.
  • the fiber containing shell separates from the seed, the structure of the strongly swollen seed becomes loose and the penetrating enzyme splitts the trisacharydes.
  • the seeds can be flavoured as described before. If sodium chloride is used for flavouring, the enzyme treatment can be achieved in the presence of salt since it does not inhibit the enzymatic activity. If necessary, following the enzymatic treatment further flavouring compounds can be added to the object before microwave treatment.
  • Post-treatment such as grinding, drying, roasting, conserving (freezing) may also be performed after irradiation.
  • the main operation in the method according to the invention is the microwave irradiation performed during a continuous motion of the charge.
  • the equipment according to the invention is designed in a manner as to perform the method as set forth hereinabove. It comprises a conditioning chamber, a microwave working area and a feeder, and the improvement consists in that the feeder comprises a transport channel crossing the said working a rea and a continuously working transport means such as a cavity path, a vibrat ⁇ onal path, o r a belt conveyor.
  • At least one mineral salt or mineral acid such as IN hydrogen chloride is added to the charge during the conditioning.
  • the above specified interconnections between the delivery speed v sz , the required minimum treatment duration T k /W/, the permissible maximum treatment duration T m /W/, the optimum energy level, the dimensions of the channel crossing the working area, etc. may be taken into consideration when designing an equipment for a certain application even if the means exciting the microwave energy is not a single compact device but there a re more than one uniformly designed magnetrons coupled serially and/or parallelly to form a generator cascade.
  • the energy transmitting device generally used in the microwave power electronics viz. the magnetron is relatively cheap until its power range does not exceed. the limit of about 2 kW whereas an abrupt increase of the price occurs once the power range is exceeding this limit, 50 to 60 1 kW magnetrons may be bought for the price of a single 10 kW magnetron.
  • the use of high power magnetrons is very expensive not only for the high price of the magnetron itself but a further increase in expenditures is caused by the use of high power-high voltage transformers, switches, rectifiers, condensers, etc,
  • the microwave energy is preferably supplied to the working area by continuous pumping.
  • An important feature of the efficiency of the treatment is the decrease of the ratio of anti-nutritive substances. This may with the greater part of plants, and especially with soybeans and other oil-seeds be tested by measuring the presence of trypsin inhibitors.
  • the digestibility may be tested in vitro (following in a slightly amended manner the method published by Szabolcs ⁇ and Szörényi, Acta Physiol. Hung., 9, 1956, 293).
  • the method according to the invention may advantageously be applied in treating the plants having a higher protein content such as legumes as bean, pea, soybean, lupin, wild pea, and oil-seeds such as seeds of sunflower, peanut, cotton, rape but even corns, rice, maize, and products thereof.
  • the method according to the invention may be applied if such nutriments shall be pre-cooked or conserved. If such nutriments shall be used as forage, they may after the treatment according to the Invention immediately be used, e.g. in the pig and calf breeding.
  • the optimum efficiency may be obtained by using a set of small power magnetrons as microwave sources which may be coupled serially and/or parallelly and by a suitable choice of the dimensions of the working area.
  • the microwave treatment destroys such substances of the treated vegetable nutriment which a re harmful during its storage, e.g. cause rancidity.
  • the treatment is therefor extending the permissible storage duration of the products.
  • the digestibility was measured in vitro applying in order pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin and we found that it increased after the microwave treatment to four times its initial value.
  • the protein content of the soybean showed after a conventional heat-treatment of 150 minutes a 8 % digestibility
  • the protein content of extruded soy flour showed a 15 % digestibility
