Title:
METHOD FOR PROCESSING CRUSTACEANS TO PRODUCE LOW FLUORIDE/LOW TRIMETHYL AMINE PRODUCTS THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/102792
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention contemplates the creation of a low fluoride crustacean oil processed from a phospholipid-protein complex (PPC) formed immediately upon a crustacean (i.e., for example, krill) catch. Further, the crustacean oil may also have reduced trimethyl amine and/or trimethyl amino oxide content. The process comprises disintegrating the crustaceans into smaller particles, adding water, heating the result, adding enzyme(s) to hydrolyze the disintegrated material, deactivating the enzyme(s), removing solids from the enzymatically processed material to reduce fluoride content of the material, separating and drying the PPC material. Then, using extraction with supercritical C02 or supercritical dimethyl ether, and/or ethanol as solvents, krill oil, inter alia, is separated from the PPC. In the extraction the krill oil can be separated almost wholly from the feed material.
