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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for processing algae. Method for preparing foodstuff from algae involves their milling, alkaline hydrolysis, homogenization, neutralization with food acid, addition of supplement and package. For alkaline hydrolysis the extractant obtained after preliminary treatment of microalgae with NaOH solution at pH = 11-12 at room temperature for 1 h at constant stirring and in the ratio microalgae dry biomass : NaOH solution = 1:(20-25) is used. This extractant is used for alkaline hydrolysis of a mixture of brown algae for 5-6 h taken in the equal parts as measured for dry biomass at room temperature, constant stirring in the ration mixture of brown algae : extractant = 1:(10-15), and neutralization of homogenates is carried out with food acid to pH = 5.5-5.8. As a supplement water-soluble β-carotene is added in the amount 0.1-0.2% of total product mass. Invention provides enhancing the biological value of product and simplifying the treatment process of algae.

EFFECT: improved preparing method.
