Analysis of the methods of the concentration of the extract of the pancreas of large livestock

 

The sphere of the carrying out and the rotation of medicines are one of the elements, which ensure the national security of Russia, and directly it depends on the state of the economy of the country.

By the most important task of domestic medical industry is satisfaction of the need of public health and population of the country for highly effective, qualitative and safe pharmaceutical production one of the most important forms of raw material for which they appear the organs of slaughter animals, obtained from large, small livestock and pigs.

Evaporation is the basic industrial method of the concentration of the aqueous extracts of endocrine raw material. Because of termolabilnosti of protein and number of other substances the thickening is accomplished in the vacuum, at a reduced boiling point. However, it is impossible completely to eliminate the negative effect of thermal effect on the sensitive protein-carbohydrate raw material.

So vacuum the evaporation of the extract of the pancreas of large livestock is accompanied by the irreversible denaturing of some fractions of proteins. As a result the prolonged working of extracts into the vacuum apparatus the partial coagulation of proteins is accompanied by the formation of elaborate protein- mineral complexes. In the extracts appears flake-shaped sediment of the gray or auger brown color, the process of accumulation of which depends on the degree of thickening and bears exponential nature.

A prolonged thermal effect and an increase of the acidity in the process of thickening is accompanied by the partial hydrolysis of fatty and carbohydrate complexes with the formation of the complexes of organic acids, which decreases the quality of the concentrated product.

In connection with that presented special attention deserves the thickening by the freezing out method of moisture or freeze concentration. Method is based on the phenomenon of the crystallization of moisture during cooling of aqueous solution down to the temperature lower than cryoscopy. The process of freezing moisture is accompanied by a continuous increase in the concentration of dry matter and, therefore, by continuous depression of the freezing point of solution. Dependence between depression of the freezing point and concentration is connected not only with the growth of a total quantity of dry matter, but also with the concentration, expressed by the number of particles of the dissolved substance per unit of volume of solvent.

For this reason the presence of the substances, which are distributed in the multicomponent solution with different degree of dispersion, respectively unequally influences the freezing point of solution. The presence of the colloidal degree of dispersion and high-molecular connections practically does not influence freezing point in comparison with the molecular substances.

By the purpose of this work was study and comparison of the quality indicators of the aqueous extracts of the pancreas of large livestock of those concentrated vacuum evaporation and freezing under laboratory conditions.

For obtaining the extracts was used the defrostirovannuyu pancreas of large livestock, preliminarily checked for correspondence to the requirements of standard [1]. They prepared the extract of the pancreas according to the technological instructions, accepted in meat industry [2]. The prepared extract of the pancreas, was investigated according to the organoleptic and physical chemistry indices.

The measured volumes of the extracts of the pancreas were subjected to vacuum- evaporation at the laboratory vacuum to evaporator at a residual pressure by 19,6… 20,2 kPa and a temperature of 60 °S with the periodic sampling for determining the content of dry matter. After thickening of solution to the specific content of its dry matter were quenched to the temperature 20 °С with the aid of the thermostat UTU-2.

Freezing moisture from the tested products was conducted in the cooling chamber of the low-temperature table of frigera HC 280/70.1 with by the gravity circulation of air with the temperature – 30 °C. the temperature of cooling extract, cryoscopy temperatures and the cooling time measured and recorded with the aid of the twelve point potentiometer KSP-4 (class of precision 0,5) with the collection of Chromel-Copel thermocouples (diameter of joint 0,5 mm) and the electronic stopwatch.

After the necessary holding time they extracted extract from the camera of refrigerator table and transferred into the cuvette of the hand press, where was separated the frozen out moisture in the form of ice from the concentrated liquid by extrusion under pressure 16… by 20 kPa.

The extracts, obtained by evaporation and freezing of moisture subjected vacuum to organoleptic and physical chemistry analysis [3].

The analysis of obtained data shows that the color in the concentrate of the extract of the pancreas, obtained freezing better remains than during the vacuum evaporation. The content of protein substances and fats in the extract of the pancreas, obtained vacuum by evaporation somewhat lower than in analogous that frozen out, and the value of the titrate acidity is above.

It should be noted that the activity of the extract of the pancreas of that concentrated by freezing proved to be somewhat higher than with the concentration of analogous extract vacuum by evaporation, whishes indicate the best retention of the ferments of the gastric juice: trypsin and chymotrypsin, that cause the proteinaznuyu The analysis of the organoleptic and physical chemistry indices of extracts, concentrated by freezing and vacuum by evaporation shows that the method of concentration to a considerable degree determines the quality of the extracts of the pancreas. The vacuum evaporation of moisture, utilized at present, does not always ensure the retention of the quality of aqueous extracts with the concentration, due to the destruction of protein, fatty substances, and amino acids.

Thus, it is experimentally proven that the concentration makes it possible to completely ensure the retention of the organoleptic and physical chemistry properties of the extract of the pancreas with freezing, unambiguously indicating the advantage of this method of the concentration of products, necessary for obtaining of a whole series of the medical preparations, utilized for treating the diseases of stomach.

The method of concentration by freezing yet does not have wide acceptance, since obtaining cold - more expensive process than obtaining water vapor. Because of the high cost of refrigerator equipment the process of concentration by freezing with the second heat removal is approximately 2 times more expensive than the process of evaporation with the catching of aromatic substances.

The maximum concentration of dry matter, which it is possible to reach, is limited by the viscosity of the concentrated product at freezing temperature and by the eutectic point of solution, with which it is not possible to separate water in the form of ice.

They do not reach high degree of concentration, since for this it is necessary to considerably lower the temperature of initial product. The magnitude of losses of solutes is also the important criterion, which determines optimum degree of concentration: the higher the concentration, the greater the loss.

But, in spite of above-enumerated deficiencies, concentration freezing remains the bezalternativnym method of thickening product with the maximum retention of initial chemical composition [4, 5].
