Patent ID: 8759497

Claim:
A method for manufacturing hydrolysates from wheat meal or animal meal, the method comprising: processing the wheat meal or animal meal to a pourable suspension with water (mash) having concentrations of 5 to 40% meal, splitting of protein molecules within the mash by hydrolysis in an aqueous medium, wherein said step of splitting occurs in a reactor in a temperature range of 180° C. to 220° C., at a pressure of 50 bar to 75 bar, and within a reaction time of from 25 to 40 minutes, wherein said step of splitting occurs without a pH value adjusting step, separating the suspension having the split protein molecules into a sediment, which contains the insoluble constituents of the wheat meal or animal meal, and an aqueous supernatant, in which the split protein molecules of the wheat meal or animal meal are dissolved, and separating the split protein molecules from the aqueous supernatant, such that the split protein molecules have defined molecular weights of less than 20 kDa.
