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

FIELD: canned food industry, more particular, preparing of semi-finished garnish potatoes.

SUBSTANCE: method involves washing, inspecting and cleaning potatoes; before cleaning procedure, treating potatoes with preparation of Mortierella strangulata micromycet biomass in an amount of 0.7-1·10⁵ mg/t, said preparation being produced by extracting of Mortierella strangulata micromycet biomass with the use of non-polar extractant in above-critical state for separating first extract at this stage; sequentially extracting said biomass with water, alkaline, water, acid, water, alkaline, and water; joining resultant solid residue with first extract and holding for about 5 hours; providing additional cleaning, blanching to semi-ready state; packing in bags made from doubled or multilayer film under vacuum; pressurizing and pasteurizing. Method allows base product with smaller crumbling extent to be obtained, in particular, amount of crumbled pieces of potato in the closest prior art method constitutes about 11% while in claimed method this amount averages 5%.

EFFECT: reduced crumbling extent and improved organoleptical properties of base product.
