Apparatus and methods for hydrolyzing protein-containing raw material into water soluble protein and other products. The apparatuses and methods include an optional collection or processing stage in which protein-containing raw material, such as fish or animal carcasses from food production plants, are collected and optionally processed. The raw material is then reacted with one or more enzymes to hydrolyze the protein present, after which the one or more enzymes are inactivated and the components separated. The processes and apparatuses, which can be run as a batch processes or, advantageously as a continuous processes, can yield water soluble protein, oils, bone meal and other products that have utility as food or food additives.本發明係關於將含有蛋白質之原料水解成為水溶性蛋白質與其他產物的設備及方法。該等設備及方法包含視需要之收集或加工階段，於其中收集含有蛋白質之原料(例如來自食品製造工廠之魚類或動物屍體)並視需要將其進行加工。然後將原料與一或多種酵素反應而將所存在之蛋白質水解，其後將該一或多種酵素去活化並將組成物分離。該製程及設備(可以分批加工或有利地以連續加工形式運作)能產製水溶性蛋白質、油類、骨碎粉及其他具有做為食品或食品添加劑之用途的產物。
