METHOD FOR COMPLEX PROCESSING OF DISTILLERY DREGS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A23L1/524 

FIELD: food-processing and pharmaceutical industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves separating dregs into liquid and solid fractions; filtering liquid fraction; boiling out for producing of concentrate having density of 1.480 g/ml; treating with 95%-alcohol in volumetric concentrate and alcohol ratio of 1:3; filtering out settled pectin; providing triple washing with 95%-alcohol; drying and grinding; extracting pectin from solid fraction by vortex extraction method at rotational speed of mass of 8,000 rev/min, water temperature of 70 C and extraction time of 8 min; filtering out; boiling out for producing concentrate having density of 1.480 g/ml; separating pectin by method similar to that used for separation from liquid fraction; mixing pectin samples separated from both fractions. Method allows separated pectin to be used as gastrointestinal disturbance prophylaxis means, it may be also used as jelly former, stabilizer, solubilization agent, and emulsifier.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in utilizing of liquid and solid fractions of distillery dregs for producing of pectin, and increased ecological protection of air and water basins.
