ABSTRACT:
A process for producing hydrolyzates of a starch-containing feedstock for an alcoholic fermentation which comprises extrusion of a preliminary disintegrated feedstock at a temperature of 150.degree.-300.degree. C. under a pressure of 2.10.sup.5 -2.10.sup.8 Pa, followed by fermentative hydrolysis of the extrudate. The extrudate is mixed with an aqueous enzymatic solution and hydrolyzed for 30-60 minutes by creating direction vortical streams by means of a source thereof at a rotation speed of 1,000-6,000 r.p.m. with simultaneous change of their direction.
An apparatus for the process according to this invention comprises, mounted downstream; a receiving bin, a lifting mechanism, balance, feeder, separator for separation of foreign matter, disintegrator, extruder and means for fermentative hydrolysis. This means is in the form of a cylindrical vessel with a cover. Inside the vessel there is a source of opposite-direction vortical streams comprising at least two horizontally mounted perforated discs, one being ridigly secured to the inner surface of the vessel, the other mounted under the first one and rigidly fixed on a rotating shaft mounted along the vessel axis; and at least six ribs with three of them being ridigly fixed on the inner surface of the vessel parallel to its axis, the three others being radially mounted on the cover.
The present invention makes is possible to increase the amount of soluble sugars in the starch-containing feedstock hydrolysates and the yield of food-grade ethanol by at least 2%.
