Abstract
A dry solid composition comprises from 70 to 95% by weight of lipid containing from 10 to 50% by weight free fatty acids, protected in sodium caseinate. The composition can be in free-flowing particulate form, and can be used as an ingredient in animal feedstuffs such as fish feeds. The composition can contain lipid-soluble components such as vitamins and carotenoid pigments. Use of a blend of fish oil fatty acid distillerate, neutralised fish oil and antioxident is exemplified. A process comprises drying a liquid emulsion of lipid, the lipid containing 10 - 50% free fatty acids, in an aqueous solution containing not less than about 5% caseinate.
Description
DRY SOLID COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING LIPID
The present invention relates to compositions containing lipid and which are in dry, solid form.
Many human foodstuffs and animal feedstuffs contain substantial levels of lipid. Due to its essentially oily or sticky nature, the presence of such lipid can glve rise to processing problems. Indeed there are instances, such as in feedstuffs for fish, where for nutritional reasons it would be desirable to include higher lipid levels but this is rendered difficult or impossible due to the ensuing processing problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition containing a very high lipid level which is nevertheless in dry, free-flowing particulate form and from which the lipid does not readily leak. Such a composition could be used as a feedstuff in its own right, but will more usually be blended with other feed ingredients to make composite product.
Many techniques have previously been proposed for making "protected lipids". In particular, the use of proteins such as blood as an encapsulating or protecting medium for lipids has been widely investigated. The results of such investigations feature in many publications and patent specifications. For example, in
GB patent specification no. 2156305, we describe method for making an encapsulated lipid wherein an emulsion of an acidic lipid (containing more than 20% free fatty acids) and a protein suspension (e.g. blood) is allowed to form a firm gel, which is then dried to produce the protected lipid product. GB 2156305 gives examples of products containing lipid levels of up to about 60% by weight.
It is clearly desirable that the product should contain the highest possible proportion of lipid consistent with satisfactory physical protection of the lipid still being obtained. It would be expected that if the proportion of lipid in the composition is raised, and hence the proportion of protein or other protective agent is reduced, the extent to which the lipid is protected will diminish. Indeed, if the process described in
GB 2156305 is applied to emulsions containing more than 70% by weight lipid, the proportion of protein in the emulsion is insufficient to enable a firm gel to form.
The resulting liquid emulsion cannot be dried in equipment in which the composition being dried experiences a tumbling action, which is the preferred technique disclosed in GB 2156305.
The present invention provides a dry solid proteinaceous composition, preferably in free-flowing particulate form, containing from 70-95% by weight lipid, which lipid contains not less than 10% and not more than 50% by weight free fatty acids, protected in caseinate, preferably sodium caseinate. Preferably the composition contains at least about 80% lipid.
We have found that sodium caseinate can provide very effective physical protection even at these very high lipid inclusion levels, whereas other proteins, such as blood and soya protein isolate, are significantly less effective.
The free fatty acid level in the lipid is critical, because if the free fatty acid level is greater than about 508 by weight, it is impossible to provide an adequately protected lipid even with sodium caseinate. Similarly, if the free fatty acid level is below about 10% by weight of the lipid, significant leakage of the lipid from a caseinate-protected product can occur.
The invention also provides a process wherein a liquid emulsion of lipid, which lipid material contains from 10% to 50% by weight free fatty acids, in an aqueous solution containing not less than about 5% by weight of caseinate, is dried.
Preferably the free fatty acid content of the lipid is at least 20%, and more preferably at least 30%. We have found that an ideal level of free fatty acids in the lipid is about 40% by weight. Preferably the desired level of free fatty acids is achieved by blendiny different oils, such as neutral toil, e.g. whole fish body oil, with acid oil, e.g. distilled fish acid oil.
The liquid emulsion can be dried by a range of techniques, it is preferable to use fluid bed drying, spray drying or drum (film) drying.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the lipid is fish cil. The fish oil can comprise a blend of commercially-available oils, such as whole fish body oil, fish acid oil and fish acid oil distillate. Other oils, such as soyabean oil and sunflower oil, can also be used.
A typical process according to the invention will involve homogenising the acidic lipid and an aqueous caseinate solution together, at a temperature of at least about 50"C to ensure that the lipid is fully liquid and the caseinate solution is not too viscous. The resulting emulsion is then dried.
Sodium caseinate is available commercially as adry solid, and can be dissolved in water to provide the necessary solution. In general, the solution should contain from about 10% to about 20% by weight at caseinate. Alternatively, it is possible to use caseinate solution from a milk processing plant, thus avoiding the inherent cost of starting the process from a dried material to which water must be returned and then removed again. Preferably the pH of the solution should be at least about 6.5 but not greater than about 6.8.
Preferably, the lipid should be essentially free from traces of soaps or mineral acids (usually hydrochloric acids or sulphuric acid) which can interfere with the protective properties of the caseinate.
Commercially-available oils, such as fish acid oil, are sometimes contaminated with such materials, and care should be taken as far a possible to ensure that the supply of lipid has a high degree of purity in this respect.
The invention has particular relevance to the manufacture of protected lipids for use in fish feeds.
An added advantage of the compositions of the invention is that they can be used as a vehicle for lipid-soluble ingredients, such as vitamins and carotenoid pigments such as astaxanthin, which are valuable components of feeds for creatures such as fish. Further aspects of the invention are feedstuff for fish comprising caseinate-protected lipid together with other nutrient materials, such as fish meal and cereals. Preferably such feedstuffs are in the form of extruded pellets, and it is an advantage of the invention that the caseinate-protected lipid can be blended with other feed ingredients and pelleted without the physical protection of the lipid seriously being affected by the processing condition; The invention also includes the rearing of fish on a diet incorporating caseinate-protected lipid.
The following example illustrates the manufacture of a composition in accordance with the invention.
Example.
2.4kg dried sodium caseinate was added slowly into 13.6 litres of water at 70cm, with constant stirring. The mixture was then vigorously agitated for a period of 2 minutes, using an industrial stirrer, to effect complete solution. A blend of fish oil fatty acid distillerate (3.6kg), neutralised fish oil (5.4kg) and ethoxyquin antioxidant (9g) at 70-800C was then added slowly, with constant stirring, to the casein solution also at 70-800C.
The mixture was then homogenised at the same temperature using a high-pressure ultrasonic homogeniser at a pressure of 14-16 bar. The homogenate was then dried using a fluid-bed drier, to give a free-flowing particulate composition which could be handled without leaving any oil residue.
