COLLAGEN EXTRACTION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF BOTH PRETREATMENT STEP AND EXTRACTION STEP, AND COLLAGEN EXTRACTION METHOD USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a collagen extraction device capable of both pretreatment and extraction of raw materials and an extraction method using the same.

In general, gelatin is a derivative protein derived from collagen, which is a natural protein constituting the skin, tendon, cartilage, etc. of animals. Boil or pork skin is boiled in boiling water after alkali or acid treatment to extract, purify, concentrate and sterilize. It is a food additive that is produced for human consumption.

Collagen is found in animal connective tissues such as skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. When viewed under electron microscopy, collagen has a complex horizontal pattern structure, water, dilute acid, and dilute alkali. Insoluble in water, but boils into gelatin and dissolves.

Gelatin is colorless or pale yellow, transparent, fragile, almost without taste and smell, and with great swelling power, it absorbs water 5-10 times and forms gel in aqueous solution of 35-40 ℃. It only expands in cold water, but melts in hot water to form a sol, and at a concentration of 2 to 3% or more, it has a physicochemical property of elastic gel at room temperature.

Such a gel (gel) state is called jelly and is widely used to prepare the shape or rigidity by mixing it with food using its coagulation property.

Therefore, in the related art, the pig skin or cow skin is acid-treated and then heated with water to extract collagen by hydrolysis, and the extracted collagen solution is filtered using a high density filter to remove foreign substances contained in the extracted collagen solution and then concentrated. And finally, the final product is packaged through sterilization and drying.

Here, the conventional gelatin manufacturing process proceeds with a pretreatment process of acid treatment of pork skin or cow skin (hereinafter, generically referred to as raw materials).

In the case of pretreatment, raw materials such as pork skin or cow skin are immersed in an acid or alkaline solution for a set period of time and then removed and washed. Here, the raw material is stored in a device such as a storage tank or a bath containing an acid or alkaline solution in a state where a plurality of raw materials are stacked in a wide state.

However, in such a conventional pretreatment apparatus, as the raw material is immersed in the solution in a state of being laminated and overlapped, there is a portion where the acid or alkaline solution cannot penetrate.

Therefore, the conventional gelatin manufacturing system extracts collagen by selecting a raw material that does not complete pretreatment as described above and adding the pretreatment to the bath or proceeding to the next step of heat treatment.

Therefore, conventionally, additional manpower and time are required for screening raw raw materials in the pretreatment process, or devices for pretreatment and extraction after heating of raw materials are required, and the transfer process to the extraction unit after pretreatment is required. There was a problem that the investment cost is large, the working time is long.

Referring to FIG. 12, in the present invention, S110 step of pretreatment by adding an acid or alkaline solution after adding raw materials, S120 step of neutralizing by adding a neutralizing agent, S130 step of washing raw materials, and S140 of first extraction by stirring And a step S150 of extracting the secondary after the second stirring, a step S160 of extracting the third after the third stirring, and a step S170 of discharging the residue.

In step S110, raw materials are added to the housing 10, and a treatment solution (for example, an acid or alkaline solution) is injected, followed by stirring for a predetermined time to perform acid treatment. Here, the stirring member 60 is operated by the rotary motor 61 under the control of the control unit 71 to operate the stirring blade 63 in the housing 10 for a predetermined time period or a predetermined time, and agitates the raw materials introduced and processed. Allow the solution to penetrate the raw material evenly.

Here, when the raw material is put into the housing 10 according to the pig skin or cow skin, a plurality of materials are stacked up and down. Therefore, when a plurality of leathers are stacked in the center can be a case of slow penetration of the treatment solution. However, in the present invention, since the stirring member 60 is operated, the raw materials are inverted or moved to stir the raw materials with the treating solution, thereby enabling uniform processing.

Such a process is performed for a set time (for example, 10 to 15 hours), and when the set time elapses, the control unit 71 operates the second discharge valve 742 after operating the alarm 76. The treatment solution is discharged through the second outlet 182.

Step S120 is a step in which the neutralizing solution mixed with the neutralizing agent is added to neutralize the raw materials. The control unit 71 controls the treatment solution supply unit 78 to inject the polymerization solution in which the neutralizing agent is mixed into the water into the housing 10. Here, the neutralization solution may be supplied in a state where water and a neutralizing agent are mixed, or may be separately added and then mixed in the housing 10.

In addition, the control unit 71 controls the processing solution supply unit 78 to supply the neutralizing solution until the set level is reached through the detection signal of the water level sensor 733, and when the set level is reached, the stirring member 60 Drive to stir the raw materials according to the set conditions. Therefore, the rotary motor 61 rotates the rotary shaft 62, and the stirring blade 63 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary shaft 62 while pressing the laminated pigskin or cowhide and stirred with the neutralizing solution.

Thereafter, the control unit 71 checks the time counting signal of the timer 75 to operate the second discharge valve 742 to discharge the neutralization solution.

S130 step is to wash the raw material neutralized by the neutralizing agent. After the neutralization solution is drained, the control unit 71 operates the used solution supply unit 79 to supply the washing solution (water) into the housing 10. When the cleaning liquid in the housing 10 reaches the set level through the water level sensor 733, the controller 71 operates the stirring member 60 according to the set standard to wash the raw materials.

Washing is made through the process of rotating and stirring the raw material while the stirring blade 63 is rotated. The control unit 71 detects the time counted by the timer 75 and when the set time is reached, opens the second discharge valve 742 to discharge the washing liquid.

Step S140 is a step of extracting the collagen solution by adding the addition solution to the housing 10, heating and stirring. Here, the heater member 50 supplies hot steam to the heating pipe 51 inside the housing 10 under the control of the controller 71. The heating pipe 51 is aligned in the spaced space between the bottom panel 15 and the lower panel 17 to heat the water flowing through the through-holes of the bottom panel 15.

At this time, the heated water is moved to the upper side of the housing 10, the low-temperature water of the upper side of the circulating guide member installed on both sides (12, 12 ') and front (13) and rear (14) of the housing 10 ( It is moved downward by 30). That is, the hot water is moved upward, and the colder water is moved downward through the circulation guide member 30 to form a circulation passage inside the housing 10.

Here, the control unit 71 operates the stirring member 60 when the temperature of the water reaches a first extraction temperature range (for example, 50 ° C. or more) through a temperature sensor. Therefore, collagen is extracted from raw materials.

Preferably, the primary extraction may be changed depending on the amount of raw materials, but it is generally preferred to proceed at least 2-6 hours (hereinafter referred to as primary extraction conditions) at a temperature of 50 ° C. or higher.

The controller 71 operates the first discharge valve 741 to discharge the extraction solution to a filtration device (or a separate storage tank) when the time set by the set primary extraction condition has elapsed.

S150 step is to extract the collagen solution in the second. The control unit 71 operates the used solution supply unit 79 after the primary extraction to supply water by the level set in the housing 10. In this case, the water supplied for the secondary extraction may be the same as or different from the amount of water introduced during the primary extraction.

Thereafter, the control unit 71 operates the heater member 50 to heat water, and extracts the collagen solution according to the set secondary extraction condition. At this time, the secondary extraction condition is set to have a higher temperature and a shorter time condition than the primary extraction condition. For example, the secondary extraction conditions may be set to have a stirring time of 30 minutes to 3 hours or more at a temperature of 60 ° C.

When the time set in the secondary extraction condition elapses, the control unit 71 operates the first discharge valve 741 to discharge the extraction solution.

S160 step is to extract the collagen solution in the third. The control unit 71 supplies water back to the housing 10 after the second extraction, and operates the heater member 50 and the stirring member 60. Here, the heater member 50 and the stirring member 60 are operated according to the tertiary extraction condition, and the control unit 71 discharges the extraction solution according to the tertiary extraction condition.

The third extraction condition may be set to discharge the extraction solution after stirring for a short time (for example, 10 minutes to 1 hour) at a temperature higher than the second extraction condition (for example, 65 ℃ or more). .

S170 step is to discharge the remaining residues from the raw material. When all the extraction is completed, the control unit 71 operates the discharge member 40 to discharge the waste collected in the receiving groove 16. Here, the residue is gathered into the receiving groove 16 as it is decomposed in the extraction process proceeded as a residue of the raw material. Therefore, the residue is moved by the discharge screw 42 rotated in the receiving groove 16 is discharged to the second outlet 182.

Here, the control unit 71 may further include a process of cleaning the inside of the housing 10 by operating the supply solution 79 to supply water after discharging the residue as described above and operating the stirring member 60. . Alternatively, the cleaning process as described above may be simultaneously performed with step S170.

Therefore, the present invention can reduce the initial investment cost compared to the conventional configuration of the pretreatment device and the extraction device separately from each other, as both the pretreatment and the extraction is possible in one device.

In addition, the present invention can reduce the time and manpower required for the movement of the raw material as the pre-treatment and extraction is made in one device can increase the productivity, it is easy to manage and maintain.
