METHOD FOR PEA PRESERVING Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: preserving technology. SUBSTANCE: method involves usage of smooth-grain strains of pea at biological stage of ripeness. Grains are subjected for swelling in the presence of preparation prepared from biomass of micromycetes Mortierella spinosa var. sterilis by sequential extraction of biomass with nonpolar extractant in supercritical state, water, alkali, water, acid, water, alkali and water followed by combining the first extract with solid residue. Swollen grains and pouring liquid are packaged into consumers' containers, sealed and sterilized. Method allows increasing yield of the end product due to increasing grain mass in the process of swelling by 150%, not less, relating to mass of parent grain that provides to carry out pea processing for year-round. EFFECT: improved preserving method.
