METHOD FOR FOODSTUFF PRODUCTION FROM BROWN ALGAE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A23L1/337 

FIELD: food processing industry.

SUBSTANCE: claimed method includes algae disintegration, treatment thereof in acid medium at pH 1.0-3.0; mass heating up to 40-45°C; and holding under stirring for 1.5-2.0 hours. Then mass is neutralized by four-step washing thereof for 20 min in each step up to pH 6.5 at 15-20°C; algae mass is neutralized with sodium hydroxide up to pH 11.0-12.0, heated up to 50-55°C and held under continuous stirring for 2 hours. Hydrolyzed mass is diluted with water up to pH 10.0; held under stirring for 1 h; neutralized with 5 % hydrochloric acid solution up to pH 8.0-9.0 and stirred for 1.0-1.5 hours. Then citric acid is added up to pH 3.5-4.0; mass is under continuous stirring for 1.0-2.0 hours. After mass cooling to 40-45°C multienzyme complex is added in amount of 0.05-0.1 % based on dry algae mass and mass is held under stirring for 0.5-1 hour. Further mass in neutralized up to pH 4.5-5.0 under stirring and homogenized.

EFFECT: product with high content of sodium alginate and bioactive iodine, vitamins and microelements.
