We all know that soybeans, as a major feed, account for a considerable proportion in all feeds. But do you know? Soybeans contain a certain amount of anti nutritional components such as trypsin inhibitors, exogenous lectins, and thyroid hormones. After long-term consumption, animals may experience a series of toxic symptoms such as indigestion, decreased digestion and utilization of nutrients such as amino acids and vitamins, and growth arrest, which limits the application of soy protein in weaned piglets. How can this make the hardworking farmers and breeders all over the world feel sorry? However, don't worry for now, let's see what methods can be used to address these issues.

消泡剂对动物食用蛋白粉发酵消泡有显著功效

Fermented soybean is a high-quality plant protein (soybean meal) processed using modern biotechnology. It can ferment high molecular weight proteins in raw materials into medium and small molecular peptides, while completely degrading anti nutritional factors in plant protein molecules. Fermented soybeans not only have processing characteristics superior to soy protein (moisturizing, foaming, non acid settling, etc.) and no soybean odor, but also have many unique functions such as easy digestion, fast absorption, and low antigenicity. Therefore, fermented soybean meal has received widespread attention as a functional feed protein.

However, a new problem has arisen: in most microbial fermentation processes, because of the presence of protein surfactants in the culture medium, foam is formed in the culture medium under aeration conditions, making the fermentation of protein powder unable to proceed smoothly, which leads to the failure of the entire production quality to meet the requirements, and animals will not be able to eat high nutrition, easily digestible food. According to the analysis of the scientific researchers of Sixin Technology, the formation of foam is mainly in the process of heating and gelatinization of soybean meal. In view of this feature, we launched silicone defoamer and polyether defoamer. Both types of defoamers have their unique characteristics: organosilicon defoamers are characterized by fast defoaming and foam breaking, while polyether defoamers are characterized by long foam suppression time and can be selected according to specific needs. Protein powder fermentation defoamer is mainly used for heating and gelatinization of soybean meal and extraction, and the addition methods are bottom material addition and flow addition.

After reading it, do you have a feeling of "watching the clouds open and seeing the moon shining"? There are many difficulties in this world, but with a little analysis and finding a suitable solution, everything will come naturally. The defoamer industry is no exception. As long as we carefully analyze the foaming substance and the reasons for foaming, and make targeted choices, there will always be one of our many products that is suitable for your production.
