METHOD OF COMPLEX GIRASOL 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, its treatment in a microwave field until inactivation of native enzymes, extraction with acid water at preset parametres of the process with further separation of extract and extraction cake, 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, concentration of the rest of the fractions through reverse osmosis, combining of concentrate of low-molecular fraction with extraction cake with gelatinising concentrate obtaining. The remaining concentrate undergoes photosterilisation and packaging under aseptic conditions to obtain an inuline-containing solution.

EFFECT: method enables prevention of losses of protein, pectin, polyphenolic and low-molecular biologically active substances and nutrients preserved in the gelatinising concentrate composition.
