| abstract |
A process for producing a protein-rich fish meal and a fish oil which comprises treating fish bodies with a protease acting at a relatively low temperature to give a slurry and dividing and drying said slurry at a relatively low temperature. The products thus obtained scarcely undergo thermal denaturation and contain a large amount of partially decomposed protein. Thus they are highly useful as a protein source for, e.g., feeds, baits and pet foods. |
