IMPROVED METHOD OF PROCESSING VEGETABLE MATERIAL, CONTAINING PECTIN Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C08B37/06 A23L1/524 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pectin and processed initial material, which contains pectin. Method of obtaining processed initial material by deactivation of pectinesterase includes obtaining fruit vegetable material, containing pectin, and bringing it in contact with water, which has pH value from 3.2 to 3.9, at temperature ≤70°C. After that processed initial material is extracted. In addition, invention relates to use of processed initial material, containing pectin, obtained according to said method, respectively, for pectin extraction, as food for animals or as ingredient in food products. In addition invention relates to pectin, obtained according to said method, by means of extraction from initial vegetable material, molecular weight of said pectin being higher on value up to 50% than molecular weight of pectin, obtained from extraction of similar but unprocessed initial vegetable material, containing pectin. Ratio of sensitivity to calcium of said pectin and sensitivity to calcium of pectin, extracted from similar, but unprocessed with washing, initial vegetable material, which contains pectin, is within 0.90-1.40. Pectin preserves molecular weight and etherification degree well, has high output and low sensitivity to calcium.

EFFECT: obtaining method of processing vegetable material, which contains pectin, preserving molecular weight and degree of pectin etherification.
