The invention discloses a method for preparing
freshwater fish bone
gelatin by an
enzyme process. The method orderly comprises the steps of: preparing a
fish bone by enzymolysis of fish,
pickling and desalting, carrying out enzymolysis, washing, extracting
gelatin, centrifuging, filtering, concentrating and
drying. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that (1) a liming process in the traditional process is replaced by the
enzyme process, thus the production period is greatly saved, and industrial
wastewater is reduced; (2) the fish is removed by a
protease hydrolysis process, thus the fish removal efficiency is high and thorough, and the obtained
fish bone is smooth and clean; (3) ossein is preprocessed by adopting papayotin, the point at which the pH value is close to a
neutral state is an
isoelectric point of collagen, collagen loss is reduced, no unmanageable
acid hydrolysis liquid is generated, and the generated collagen is safe and reliable; (4) the
viscosity of the
prepared fish bone can be up to 3.5mPa.s, and the
fish bone gelatin is an excellent material for preparing medicinal capsules; and (5) the gelatin prepared from the fish bone is
safer than animal gelatin, and the
processing added-value of the fish product can be improved.
