PRODUCTION METHOD OF RECONSTITUTED JUICE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A23L2/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: reconstituted juice production method includes concentration of juice by evaporation in vacuum at rarefaction (10-1) Pa and diluting of concentrated juice till soluble dry substances content needed. Evaporation is performed in vacuum at rarefaction (10-1) Pa. Concentrated juice is dried at atmosphere pressure during four days at 50°C till viscosity is reached enough to perform extrusion and obtain granulated juice. The latter is dried during three days at 50°C max till soluble dry substances content makes not less than 80%. Reconstituted juice is obtained by diluting of granulated juice by condensate obtained during evaporation of directly squeezed juice. Granulated juice is milled right before reconstition.

EFFECT: increased quality of reconstituted juice as less biologically active substances are lost during long storage, increased storage time and decreased storage costs.
