METHOD OF PROCESSING PLANT MATERIAL, PRODUCT OBTAINED USING SUCH METHOD AND USE OF SUCH PRODUCT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C08B37/00 A23L1/10 A23L1/308 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: large part of the cells of material, containing non-starch polysaccharides is destroyed in the grinding process, obtaining particles, containing non-starch polysaccharides, which are high solubility when the product gets into contact with dissolving media. The non-starch polysaccharides are contained in particles, obtained by breaking up material until formation of particles with particle size less than the size of the corresponding initial cells of the non-starch polysaccharide. The material can be crushed using a combination of heat, pressure and shearing force. Crushing can be carried out through extrusion, intumescence and homogenisation under pressure. Preferred materials for such processing include oats, rye or their part. Solubility and conditions for dissolving the product can be regulated through mixing the material, subject to crushing, with a component rich in amylopectin. The product, obtained using this method, can be used in food products.

EFFECT: increased solubility of non-starch polysaccharides contained in grinded materials.
