METHOD FOR PRODUCING PECTIN AND FOOD FIBERS FROM SUGAR BEET Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: food technology, agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention describes a method for preparing pectin and food fibers from sugar beet. Method for preparing pectin and food fibers from sugar beet involves its milling to chips, washing chips with anolyte, two-fold extraction of washed out chips with anolyte, pressing extracted mass and separation of pulp and extract followed concentrating extract, precipitation pectin with ethyl alcohol from extract and drying pectin. Washing out chips with anolyte is carried out at pH 3.2-3.5, the first extraction is carried out with anolyte at pH 6.4-6.6 and the second extraction - at pH 7.5-8.0. After pressing mass pressed pulp and washing water are separated and the latter is mixed with extract before its concentrating. Particles of pressed pulp are subjected for milling to required size, dehydration and drying resulting to preparing food fibers. Proposed method provides enhancing effectiveness in utilization of raw in preparing pectin due to additional extraction of food fibers of good quality.

EFFECT: improved producing method.
