Product Details
Mustard DOC is the protein-rich byproduct left after extracting oil from mustard seeds (typically black mustard Brassica nigra, Indian mustard B. juncea, or white mustard S. alba) via cold pressing or expeller methods. It commonly contains about 30–40% crude protein depending on the mustard variety.
Nutritional Profile & Quality
Protein Content
Black mustard cake typically around 38% protein
Yellow/white mustard cake around 28–30% protein
Pepsin digestibility: ~80% in untreated cake, rising to ~90% after removal of anti-nutritional compounds; protein isolates reach ~95–97% digestibility.
Amino Acid Composition
Rich in essential amino acids:
Black mustard: higher in isoleucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan
Yellow mustard: relatively higher leucine, valine, histidine, and several non-essential amino acids.
Anti‑nutritional Compounds
Contains glucosinolates (e.g., sinigrin in black mustard), which release allyl isothiocyanate, causing irritation and reducing palatability and digestibility.
Moisture and Residual Oil
Moisture content typically ranges between 5–15%
Residual oil content generally low (~5–15%), depending on extraction method.
Primary Uses
1. Animal Feed
Commonly used as an economical protein supplement in feed rations for:
Cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats
Poultry, pigs, fish, and rabbits
Recommended inclusion:
Ruminants: up to 1–1.5 kg/day or ~10% of feed blend if untreated,
Preferably blended with other feeds to improve taste and digestibility
