METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING DRY MICROCAPSULATED DRINK (VARIANTS) Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A23L2/395 

FIELD: soft drinks industry.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation refers to drinks' concentrates based upon plant raw material, for example, tea raw material. By the first variant, the method deals with obtaining plant product as an extract followed by mixing it with a supplementary substance as gum arabic, and a dairy product as dry whole milk; while mixing it is necessary to add saccharose and water to obtain emulsion that contains 1-20 weight portions of gum arabic , 5-50 weight portions of saccharose, 0.5-5.0 weight portions of dry plant extract, 35.0-70.0 weight portions of dry whole milk and 97.0-408.3 weight% water. Then comes drying due to spraying at temperature not exceeding 70° C at developing microcapsules with membranes out of gum arabic. By the second variant this method deals with obtaining plant product as aqueous plant extract at the content of dry substances being 10-30 % followed by mixing it with additional substance and dairy product. Moreover, as additional and dairy product one should apply gum arabic and dry whole milk, correspondingly. While mixing it is necessary to add saccharose and water to obtain the mixture in the form of emulsion. The latter contains 1-20 weight portions gum arabic, 5-50 weight portions saccharose, 95.1-388.3 weight portions aqueous plant extract at the content of dry substances being 10-30%, 35.0-70.0 weight portions of dry whole milk and 95.1-388.0 weight portions of water followed by drying due to spraying at temperature not exceeding 70° C, at developing microcapsules with membranes out of gum arabic. Plant extract should be obtained out of the mixture of grasses and/or, roots, and/or inflorescences, and/or fruit that contains, at least, two components. The present innovation enables to obtain dry product as microcapsules, their membrane being out of natural polymer that provides the safety of lipids (fat) and biologically active substances.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of manufacturing.
