METHOD OF MANUFACTURING BEVERAGE DRY CONCENTRATES AND ASSEMBLY FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A23L2/39 A23L2/385 

FIELD: food products manufacturing technique.

SUBSTANCE: method of manufacturing beverage dry concentrate involves producing liquid multicomponent composition by simultaneous mixing of liquid extracts of plant raw material and natural disperse sorbent. Then the multicomponent composition is subject to dispersing and homogenisation under the acoustic cavitation conditions in three sequential stages with λ=0.25-1.0. The device for the method implementation comprises sequentially set units. The first unit is used for simultaneous combined liquid-phase processes of mixing, dispersion and acoustic cavitation homogenisation of liquid multicomponent composition. The second unit is used for mixing of dispersion medium with liquid multicomponent phase, its impregnation, agglomeration, thermal water removal and further drying of the multicomponent composition.

EFFECT: the invention allows improving consumer properties of natural beverages dry concentrates made from natural raw material, increasing productivity and reducing energy demands of the assembly.
