Meal grinding

Since swine and poultry require low fiber for optimum growth and feed conversion efficiency the protein enhanced meals are preferred. However, since no satisfactory commercial method of dehulling rapeseed has been devised to date the rapeseed fiber accompanies the other seed constituents through the process emerging with the protein meal. Grinding of the meal followed by air classification has been only moderately successful in reducing the fiber content of rapeseed meal. The industry has not as yet installed any significant capacity for this purpose. 

Two processes are currently used to prepare protein-based films the wet method ( casting ), which involves the solubilization of protein and a plasticizer in a solvent followed by the formation of a protein network on evaporation of the solvent and the dry method, which is based on thermoplastic characteristics of proteins and combines the use of pressure and heat to plasticize protein chains [25, 32]. Dehulled soybean, after solvent defatting and meal grinding, becomes a fat-free, low fibre soy flour (48.5% protein). The soy flour, after leaching out of the water/alcohol soluble sugars, is termed soy protein concentrate (above 65% protein). The soy protein concentrate, if it is further extracted by alkali and reprecipitated by acidification, becomes the purest commercially available soy protein isolate (above 90% protein). 

Urease solution. Place about 5 g. of jack-bean meal in a mortar and grind up with about 10 ml. of water, t hen add about 90 ml. of water, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for some time in order to deposit starch and other insoluble substances. Decant off the supernatant liquid into a conical flask and cork the latter. 

Partially Defatted Nuts. There is considerable demand for nuts and nut products of reduced fat content. Almond meal and peanut meal are examples of products having low fat content achieved by pressing oil from the nuts and by grinding the cake. Much of the flavor is in the oil defatted nuts are thus less tasty. 

Flour and Feed Meal The roller mill is the traditional machine for grinding wheat and lye into high-grade flour. A typical mill used for this purpose is fitted with two pairs of rolls, capable of making two separate reductions. After each reduction the product is taken to a bolting machine or classifier to separate the fine flour, the coarse produc t being returned for further reduction. Feed is supphed at the top, where a vibratoiy shaker spreads it out in a thin stream across the full width of the rolls.

A major focus of the project has been development of a process to make cowpea meal or flour that could be implemented at the village level. The meal would be a ready-to-use convenience product to which the consumer could simply add water and then proceed to the final steps of preparation. The time-consuming and labor-intensive steps of soaking, decorticating, and grinding would be eliminated. 

The almond meal PaHnl can be obtained from commercial sources or alternatively can be prepared [42,43] by grinding almonds and defatting the powder three times with ethyl acetate. These procedures makes this Hnl an attractive enzyme to use on a multigram scale and hence it has been widely applied in organic synthesis (as outlined in Sect. 3.3.1). 

Fia 5 Shift of detonability limits caused by grinding the material, (a) Group 1. Example shown is TNT data (Ref 2). Grain sizes are 04)7 to 0.2 mm and 0.01 to 0.05 mm for coarse and fine, respectively. (b) Group 2. Example shown is riynam-mon (AN/peat meal, 88/12) data (Ref j). The voidless density used is 1.65 g/cc... 

Iin and co-workers [40] have developed a so-called micro-aqueous organic reaction system. In contrast to former preparations of almond meal, the almond kernels are soaked in water prior to grinding. After the defatting step, the meal contains 8-10% water (w/w), making it unnecessary to add the amount of water needed for enzyme activity. The reactions are carried out in buffer-saturated organic solvents to avoid a possible drying effect of the solvent on the biocatalyst. Further addition of water to the reaction results in lower conversions and values,... 

Grind a sample of starch or fish meal into a powder in a coffee grinder. 

Results demonstrate that Mb er se is not the catalyst of lipid oxidation in cooked meat. However, cooking destroys part of the Mb, releasing Fe2+ which then catalyzes the development of WOF. Although the role of grinding in development of WOF was not studied, it seems likely that it also releases Fe2+. It has recently been shown that solubilization of iron from grinding equipment can increase the free iron content of fish meal, which could also be a factor in autoxidation of fresh ground meat (TS).

BONE MEALS. These are particularly suitable for supplying phosphorus and lime to the soil. Bone meals are produced from bone waste from abattoirs. Before grinding they are treated with hot steam and the fat is removed. The fat should not be removed with tetrachloromethane or similar toxic substances, however. If it is, the bone meal is not suitable for use on organic crops.
