METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF FIRST CRYSTALLISATION FILLMASS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C13B30/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method envisages syrup condensation in a vacuum apparatus, crystals inoculation, growing, removal of a part of fillmass from the vacuum apparatus, centrifugation of the part of fillmass with separation into sugar and runoff, the runoff return into the vacuum apparatus and boiling out the part of fillmass till readiness. Crystals inoculation is performed by way of their self-formation in an amount of 8-12 units per 1 mm of the trial lens surface length; for this purpose the syrup oversaturation degree is conditioned to 1.3-1.4 at a temperature of 78-82°C; then one performs quick cooling till a crystallisation centre appearance, regulating heating steam delivery into the vacuum apparatus steam chamber, and proceeds with growing till crystals content in the fillmass is equal to 40-42 wt %. One performs removal of a part of fillmass from the vacuum apparatus in an amount of 35-40% of the total weight. One performs boiling out the remaining fillmass in the vacuum apparatus with syrup intakes till dry substances content is equal to 88-89%; then one proceeds with ozonation and returns the run-off of the separated fillmass part into the vacuum apparatus after syrup delivery termination.

EFFECT: sugar sand yield and quality enhancement due to acceleration of the process of boiling out first crystallisation fillmass and uniform granulometric composition of crystals in the fillmass.
