Application of biological treatment to rendered “fines” from the meat industry to obtain new hydrolysed products of high quality and nutritional value
Aplicación de tratamiento biológico a los “fines” renderizados, de la industria cárnica, para la obtención de nuevos productos hidrolizados de alta calidad y valor nutricional
Contexte
Every year the meat industry generates significant quantities of offal from animals (by-products and solid and liquid waste) which have to be managed appropriately based on their origin and the potential risk of transmitting pathogens and toxic substances which can adversely affect public health, animal health and the environment.
Against this background, it is essential to optimise processing based on hydrolysis reactions which will make it possible to:
- Recover the fines and leverage their high protein content.
- Get a new hydrolysed product with a high proportion of low molecular weight peptides and applicable in animal feed and fertilisation.
Objectives
The overarching objective of this project is to obtain hydrolysed products for the agro-industrial sector derived from processing under mild conditions of the protein contained in the fines generated during the rendering process of animal by-products not intended for human consumption in categories C2 and C3.
Objectives
El objetivo principal de este proyecto la obtención de productos hidrolizados destinados al sector agroindustrial, derivados del tratamiento, en condiciones suaves, de la proteína contenida en los fines
generados durante el proceso de renderizado de subproductos animales.
Activities
The measures envisaged in this project can be summarised in five actions:
I. Chemical characterisation of the fines by their origin.
II. Tailoring the conditions of the enzymatic hydrolysis process to the various types of fines.
III. Chemical characterisation of the products of the enzymatic hydrolysis process.
IV. Pilot optimisation and validation of the enzymatic hydrolysis process.
V. Dissemination of the project’s results.
