FIELD: food-processing industry, in particular, production of infant foods.
SUBSTANCE: method involves sieving groats; directing through magnetic catcher and washing; extracting dry Mortierella spinosa micromycet biomass with the use of non-polar extractant such as carbon dioxide or hexane in above-critical state; separating first extract from biomass; sequentially extracting biomass with water, acid, water, alkaline, water, acid, and water; upon accomplishment of said procedures, joining solid residue with first extract for producing of preparation; mixing pectin extract with preliminarily prepared groats in the ratio of 1:10, said pectin extract having pectin substance content of 0.5-1.5% and being pectin industry secondary product, which has been withdrawn from pectin production line after hydrolysis and extraction stage and filtered; cooking groats to dry substance content of groats of about 11.5 wt%; introducing therein fruit and vegetable pulp in an amount of from 30% to 50% and biomass preparation in an amount of 0.01-0.02% by weight of mixture to be produced; mixing, homogenizing and drying mixture. In case drying process different from spraying drying process is used, dried mixture is subjected to grinding to powdered state and sieved. Method allows quality of base product to be improved since said product is readily reduced with water to homogeneous pulp-like consistency, does not form agglomerates and does not cake during storage in unsealed package for a week at air humidity of up to 76%. Infant food mixture is recommended as food for babies of from 3.5 month age.
EFFECT: provision for obtaining of infant food possessing therapeutic and prophylactic properties characteristic of products with increased pectin content, such as allergenic effect.
