Generic Flow of Manufacturing Process of Protein Hydrolysates
Depending on the manufacturer and type of product, the reactor size varies anywhere
between 500 and >10,000 gal. As shown in the schematic flow chart in Figs. 1 and 2,
first the proteins are generally solubilized in water to anywhere between 8–20%
solids. If needed the proteins are pretreated with heat (up to 200°F), acid or alkali,
