Pared, comminuted and blanched coconut meat was freeze-dried at 25 degrees C for 24 hours and pulverized. Whole coconut meal was solvent extracted with n-hexane to yield a defatted meal while full-fat coconut protein concentrate (FFC-PC) containing 27.60% protein was prepared by alkali extraction of undefatted meal followed by isoelectric precipitation. Defatted coconut meal had a significantly (p < or = 0.05) lower crude fat but higher protein content than whole coconut meal. Similarly, FFC-PC had a significantly (p < or = 0.05) higher protein but lower carbohydrate content than whole coconut meal and defatted coconut meal. Whole coconut meal, defatted coconut meal and FFC-PC had PERs of 1.98, 2.18 and 2.48 respectively, with NPRs of 2.86, 3.28 and 3.92, respectively. Protein digestibility values of 88.75%, 89.30% and 94.02% were obtained for whole coconut meal, defatted coconut meal and full-fat coconut protein concentrate, respectively. Growth response of animals showed that FPC-PC was superior to all other test diets.
将去皮、粉碎并漂白的椰肉在25摄氏度下冷冻干燥24小时,然后研磨成粉。用正己烷对全脂椰粕进行溶剂萃取,得到脱脂椰粕,而通过对未脱脂椰粕进行碱萃取然后等电沉淀来制备蛋白质含量为27.60%的全脂椰子浓缩蛋白(FFC-PC)。脱脂椰粕的粗脂肪含量显著(p≤0.05)低于全脂椰粕,但蛋白质含量更高。同样,FFC-PC的蛋白质含量显著(p≤0.05)高于全脂椰粕和脱脂椰粕,而碳水化合物含量更低。全脂椰粕、脱脂椰粕和FFC-PC的蛋白质效率比值(PER)分别为1.98、2.18和2.48,净蛋白质比值(NPR)分别为2.86、3.28和3.92。全脂椰粕、脱脂椰粕和全脂椰子浓缩蛋白的蛋白质消化率分别为88.75%、89.30%和94.02%。动物生长反应表明,FFC-PC优于所有其他受试日粮。
