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 of potatoes; before cleaning procedure, treating potatoes with preparation produced from Mortierella minutissima micromycet biomass used in an amount of 0.7-1·10⁵ mg/t, said preparation being produced by extracting of Mortierella minutissima micromycet biomass with the use of non-polar extractant in above-critical state; at this stage, separating first extract; sequentially extracting biomass with the use of water, alkaline, water, acid, water, alkaline, and water; joining solid residue with first extract, and holding for about 5 hours; providing cleaning, additional cleaning and cutting of potatoes; subjecting cut potatoes to thermal processing for time sufficient for inactivation of native enzymes and not in the excess of time providing semi-ready state of potatoes; slightly drying until actual roasting losses percentage is reached and not in the excess of time before drying period; 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 9% while in claimed method it averages 3%.

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