METHOD OF COMPLEX GIRASOL-SUNFLOWER PROCESSING Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23L1/214 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to technology for complex processing of vegetables. The method includes washing and milling girasol/sunflower, its milling, treatment in a microwave field until inactivation of native enzymes, extraction with acid water at preset parametres of the process, separation of extract and cakes. Then follows consistent passing of the extract through membrane with retention threshold of 6-8 kilodaltons and 0.8-2 kilodaltons with return of low-molecular fraction on extraction phase while the rest of the fraction is concentrated through reverse osmosis, combining of concentrate of low-molecular fraction with extraction cake with gelatinising concentrate obtaining, photosterilisation and packaging of the rest of the concentrate under aseptic conditions with obtaining of inulin-containing solution.

EFFECT: method enables integral girasol-sunflower processing with complete utilisation of nutrients and biologically active substances.
