METHOD OF COMPLEX GIRASOL PROCESSING Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C08B37/18 A23L1/214 C13K11/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes girasol washing, cutting, adding acid water, extracted heating, extraction at preset process parametres. Then follows consistent passing of the extract through membrane with retention threshold of 6-8 kilodaltons and 0.8-2 kilodaltons. The low-molecular fraction is returned to the extraction phase. Then one performs concentration of the rest of the fractions through reverse osmosis. One combines concentrate of low-molecular fraction with extraction cake with gelatinising concentrate obtaining. The remaining concentrate represented by an inuline-containing solution free from related substances undergoes photosterilisation and packaging under aseptic conditions.

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