METHOD FOR PRODUCING OF SEMI-FINISHED GARNISH POTATOES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A23L1/216 A23L1/217 C12P1/02 

FIELD: canned food industry, in particular, production of semi-finished garnish potatoes.

SUBSTANCE: method involves washing, inspecting and cleaning potatoes; before cleaning procedure, treating potatoes with lipid-containing extract of Mortierella hygrophila micromycet biomass used in an amount of 1-1·10⁵ mg/t, and holding for about 8 hours; providing additional cleaning and frying so that actual moisture content losses do not exceed roasting losses percentage and are at least equal to moisture content leading to native enzyme inactivation state; packing and freezing. Method allows base product with lesser crumbling extent to be obtained, in particular, amount of crumbled potato pieces in closest prior art method averages 11% while in claimed method it averages about 5%.

EFFECT: improved organoleptical properties of base product having consistency approximating that of dish prepared from fresh potatoes.
