Context
The characteristics of the fats obtained from SANDACH will be modified and improved, in order to get solid or semi-solid consistencies which can be produced at pilot scale. The new obtained product could be directly supplied to small farmers for the manufacture of their own feed at small-scale. This modified fat could be used as caloric contribution and its traceability will be improved. This is currently not possible since small farmers do not have the means to process liquid clarified fats.
Objectives
To improve the final lipid products (clarified fats) obtained from animal by-products (SANDACH type 3) to supply the vicinity livestock sector. The technical objectives are to obtain new improved formats (solid or buttery) of the lipid material from SANDACH, to study their palatability and nutritional value and to optimize, at pilot plant scale, the process of preparation of the best formats obtained.
Objectives
Mejorar los productos lipídicos finales (grasas clarificadas), obtenidas a partir de subproductos animales (SANDACH tipo 3), para su suministro al sector ganadero de proximidad. Los objetivos técnicos son obtener nuevos formatos mejorados, sólidos o mantecosos, del material lipídico procedente de SANDACH, estudiar la palatabilidad y valor nutricional de los nuevos formatos obtenidos y optimizar, a escala de planta piloto, el proceso de preparación de los mejores formatos obtenidos.
Activities
1. Implementation of process approximations to improve the solid consistency of lipid products through different conditions and parameters. 2. Determination of the palatability and nutritional value of the new formats obtained so that they meet the criteria established for animal feed as well as to test their addition in the feed of a farm and study its effect and acceptance. 3. To optimize the preparation process of the selected formats at pilot plant scale. 4. Dissemination of the results obtained.
Activities
1 Aplicación de aproximaciones de procesos para la mejora de la consistencia sólida de los productos lipídicos, mediante diferentes condiciones y parámetros. 2 Determinar la palatabilidad y valor nutricional de los nuevos formatos obtenidos, para que cumplan con los criterios establecidos para alimentación animal, probando su adición en los piensos de una granja para estudiar su efecto y aceptación. 3 Optimizar a escala de planta piloto el proceso de preparación de los formatos escogidos. 4 Divulgación de los resultados obtenidos.
