Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of DDGS feed preparation, in particular to application of acetic acid and/or lactic acid in improving DDGS feed color and luster, DDGS feed and a preparation method thereof.

Background

After the grains or potatoes are fermented by yeast and distilled to remove ethanol, the residual whole still distillate (whole lees liquid containing at least three-fourths of solid ingredients) is concentrated and dried to prepare the product, namely the DDGS feed. During the production and sale of DDGS feed, the DDGS feed is generally graded in color, for example, the first grade product is defined as golden yellow with no mottle; the second grade product is defined as golden yellow with variegated color; the third grade product is defined as light brown; quaternary is defined as brown; grade five is defined as dark brown. The difference of color and luster can cause the sale price to be greatly influenced, and the difference of each ton is 100-200 Yuan. Whereas the feeds prepared in the prior art are usually light brown, brown or dark brown, i.e. in grades 3-5, which makes it difficult to increase the price of DDGS feeds.

Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a preparation method of DDGS feed which can effectively improve the color of the DDGS feed.

Detailed Description

The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise range or value, and such ranges or values should be understood to encompass values close to those ranges or values. For ranges of values, between the endpoints of each of the ranges and the individual points, and between the individual points may be combined with each other to give one or more new ranges of values, and these ranges of values should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.

In the course of research, the inventors of the present invention found that, in the preparation process of the DDGS feed, after the fermentation waste mash is concentrated and before drying, acetic acid and/or lactic acid, preferably acetic acid and lactic acid, are added thereto, and then drying is performed, so that the color of the prepared DDGS feed can be effectively improved.

Based on the above findings, the present invention provides in one aspect the use of acetic acid and/or lactic acid for improving the color of DDGS feed.

In another aspect, a method of preparing a DDGS feed is provided, the method comprising:

(1) carrying out solid-liquid separation on the fermentation waste mash to obtain filtrate and filter residue;

(2) concentrating the filtrate to obtain concentrated filtrate, and mixing the concentrated filtrate with the filter residue to obtain a mixed material;

(3) and adding acetic acid and/or lactic acid into the mixed material, and then drying to obtain the DDGS feed.

According to the present invention, the fermentation mash has the meaning well known in the art and can be obtained by methods well known in the art. The fermentation waste mash is a product obtained by distilling alcohol from fermentation mash obtained after starch crops are fermented to prepare the alcohol.

Wherein the starch crop may be, but is not limited to, one of corn, potatoes (such as tapioca), and wheat.

Preferably, the fermentation waste mash contains 70-80 wt% of water, 2-3 wt% of crude protein, 0.1-1 wt% of reducing sugar and 1-2 wt% of total sugar.

Preferably, in order to further improve the color of the prepared DDGS feed, acetic acid and lactic acid are added to the mixture obtained in step (2).

Although the addition of acetic acid and/or lactic acid to the mixed material can improve the color of the DDGS feed, the inventors of the present invention have found that the color of the DDGS can be further improved when the acetic acid and/or lactic acid is added in an amount such that the pH of the mixed material is 4 to 4.5.

According to the invention, the degree of concentration of the filtrate can be selected within a wide range, and the filtrate is preferably concentrated to a moisture content of 60 to 70% by weight, taking into account the time of concentration, the time of subsequent drying and the energy consumption. Wherein the concentration may be an evaporation concentration, and the temperature of the concentration may be 50 to 80 ℃, preferably 60 to 70 ℃.

According to the present invention, the water content of the residue obtained after the solid-liquid separation of the fermentation waste mash may be 45-55 wt%. The solid-liquid separation method may be any of various solid-liquid separation methods known in the art, and may be, for example, centrifugation or filtration.

According to the invention, the mixing proportion of the concentrated filtrate and the filter residue can be the proportion used in the existing DDGS preparation method, but in order to further improve the color of the prepared DDGS feed, the mixing proportion of the concentrated filtrate and the filter residue is preferably such that the moisture content of the mixed material is 55-68 wt%.

The inventors of the present invention further found in the course of their research that placing under anaerobic conditions for a period of time, preferably 48-96 hours, preferably at room temperature, such as 25-40 c, more preferably 30-38 c, after adding acetic acid and/or lactic acid to the mixture, can further improve the color of the resulting DDGS feed.

According to the present invention, it is preferable that the acetic acid and lactic acid are supplied by inoculating lactobacillus into the mixed material and fermenting. Under the preferable conditions, on one hand, the lactobacillus fermentation can produce acetic acid and lactic acid, and can also produce other substances, so that the DDGS feed is improved, on the other hand, components such as polysaccharide, protein and the like contained in the waste mash can be further decomposed and utilized in the fermentation process, so that not only can flavor substances be produced, but also the fermented components can be more easily utilized by animals, and on the other hand, the conditions required by the Maillard reaction, such as reducing sugar content in the system, are reduced.

Wherein the lactobacillus can be conventional lactobacillus capable of producing acetic acid and lactic acid, preferably lactobacillus acidophilus and/or lactobacillus plantarum. The inoculation amount of the lactobacillus can be changed in a wide range, and preferably, the inoculation amount of the lactobacillus culture solution is 2-4 parts by volume relative to 100 parts by volume of the mixed material, wherein the concentration of the lactobacillus culture solution is about 5.0 x 10⁹cfu/ml。

Preferably, the pH of the mixed material is adjusted to 4.5-6.2 before the lactobacillus is inoculated into the mixed material. The pH of the mixed solution is preferably adjusted by using sodium hydroxide, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and other alkali which does not affect the growth of lactobacillus and does not adversely affect the animal to which the DDGS is to be eaten or prepared may be used, and for example, an alkali substance such as ammonia water or sodium carbonate may be used.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, the lactobacilli are generally facultative anaerobic microorganisms that can grow under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, in order to provide a DDGS feed with a more satisfactory color, the Lactobacillus is preferably cultured under anaerobic conditions, at a temperature of 25-40 deg.C, preferably 35-38 deg.C, for a period of 48-96 hours.

According to the present invention, the term "anaerobic" as used herein is not intended to mean absolutely anaerobic conditions, but refers to an environment where the oxygen concentration is below a certain value, for example, 1.0mg/L, 0.8mg/L, 0.6mg/L, 0.5mg/L, 0.4mg/L, 0.3mg/L, 0.2 mg/L.

In step (3) according to the present invention, the drying conditions may be those conventionally used in the art for preparing DDGS feeds, for example, the drying temperature may be 100 ℃ and 150 ℃ and the drying time is preferably such that the water content of the prepared DDGS feed is not more than 12% by weight, preferably 8 to 11% by weight.

In still another aspect of the invention, the DDGS feed prepared by the method is also provided.

The present invention will be described in detail below by way of examples. In the following examples and comparative examples,

(1) the used fermentation waste mash contains about 75 wt% of water, 2.3 wt% of crude protein, 0.2 wt% of reducing sugar, 1.6 wt% of total sugar, etc
