Notes:
The process requirements and properties of dehydrated squid protein prepared by a water extraction and spray dehydration process were studied. After removal of skin and viscera, a water soluble fraction was obtained by filtering the comminuted slurry which, when diluted and spray dried, was converted into a powder having a very light color. A low yield of 29.4% on the semi-pilot scale appeared to be due to material loss during washing. In a well designed laboratory study however, yield averaged 74% indicating that loss during washing could be minimized. The product averaged 81% protein, had excellent water solubility and a good oil binding capacity as well as emulsion stability. Animal feeding studies showed that nutritionally the quality of the dehydrated squid protein is comparable with that of casein.
