DEFATTING STARCH CONTAINING WASTE PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention provides a novel method and use of waste products containing starch and fatty substances. Especially waste food products which do not live up to the manufacturer's specifications are often discarded or used in low economic value applications. For instance, pre-fried French fries are used as cattle feed. The invention allows for these waste products to be used in many applications for which conventionally-obtained starch is applied in that the fatty substances are at least functionally removed from the starch without a significant rise in costs. The fatty substances are functionally removed by an enzymatic treatment employing a lipase.
