Enzymatic hydrolysis - using nature's toolbox to produce quality ingredients

Enzymatic hydrolysis is the process that we use to gently and naturally refine poultry offcuts. The process uses enzymes, which are natural "tools" that can split protein-rich raw materials into smaller proteins and peptides. After separation and drying, we end up with three products: hydrolyzed proteins and peptides, oil, and minerals.

What is enzymatic hydrolysis?

Bioco uses continuous enzymatic hydrolysis to refine chicken and turkey raw materials and create hydrolyzed proteins and peptides. What does that mean, and how does that work?

Bioco's process: continuous enzymatic hydrolysis

Bioco has implemented continuous enzymatic hydrolysis for the hydrolysis of poultry raw materials. This provides benefits for product quality compared to batch enzymatic hydrolysis, which is a great advantage for Bioco's customers.

SmartBio project – sensor technology for process optimization

Raw materials often show variation in their composition. For enzymatic hydrolysis it is important that the enzymes can work under the best process conditions. What the best conditions are, will depend on the composition of the raw materials. The SmartBio project helps Bioco to make use of sensor technology to match the process conditions with the composition of the raw materials.

Can multi-step enzymatic processing unlock the full potential of our raw materials?

Enzymatic hydrolysis is an important technology for Bioco - it is used to create our poultry protein and oil ingredients. This technology is efficient and creates high quality ingredients – but what if adding additional processing steps could unlock even more of the raw material benefits for our customers? Investigating the potential and added value of multi-step enzymatic hydrolysis processing, or in other words, cascade technology, is the focus of the Notably research project, led by Nofima AS.
