Claims
- 1. Process for the treatment of residues from the distillation of white wines to produce protein feed which comprises the steps of dividing the residues into a sludge containing the wine making yeast and a clarified medium, cooling the clarified medium from which the yeasts have been removed until its temperature is between 20.degree. and 25.degree. C., innoculating said medium with a preculture produced by innoculating a like medium with a suspension containing a culture of a microorganism selected from the genus Penicillium, permitting said micro-organisms to develop in the medium while adjusting said medium to a pH of 1.5-5, separating and recovering the biomass produced from the culture medium, and treating the collected liquid after separation of the biomass to further purify it and recover the bio-synthesized molecules which it contains.
- 2. The process of claim 1 in which the micro-organism is selected from the group consisting of Penicillium Spinulosum 129 (ATCC 20465), Penicillium Expansum 127 (ATCC 20466), Penicillium Commune 125 (ATCC 20464), Penicillium Commune 148, Penicillium Expansum 118, and Penicillium Frequentans 142.
- 3. The process of claim 1 in which the preculture is innoculated by means of a lyophilized suspension of spores.
- 4. The process of claim 1 in which the development of the micro-organism takes place under constant agitation and aeration.
- 5. The process of claim 4 in which the pH of the medium is adjusted to between 1.5 and 3.
- 6. The process of claim 1 in which the liquid is finally filtered through a diatomaceous filter and treated by reverse osmosis in order to obtain a purified water and a concentrate containing molecules bio-synthesized during the culture by the selected micro-organisms.
- 7. Animal food derived from the sludges obtained in the first step of the process of claim 1 after drying said sludges.
