"VITAFLOR-P" DRY PROBIOTICALLY ACTIVE PREPARATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23C9/12 A23P1/02 A61K35/74 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: dry probiotically active biopreparation contains Vitaflor" starter in the form of a porous tablet (with pores sized no less than 50% and activity no lower than 5x10 CFU/ tablet) and powder of sublimation-dried drinking milk with fat content of 1.5-2.5%. Tablet production involves dispensing in aluminium moulds, cooling to a temperature equal to minus 35-45°C in a 6-7 mm thick layer with subsequent maintenance at a temperature of minus 30-35°C. Sublimation drying is performed at the condenser-freezer temperature equal to no higher than minus 50°C under the working chamber pressure equal to 13-15 Pa during 48-50 hours. The crystallised moisture sublimation period lasts 20 hours at the material temperature equal to no higher than 30°C; additional drying is performed during 8 hours at a temperature of 25°C. One produces a tablet with 19.0±1.0 mm diameter and 6.5±0.5 mm height.

EFFECT: invention ensures a high probiotic potential of the biopreparation under extreme conditions, in particular, on board a space ship as well as under conditions of long-term self-sustained underwater navigation and the possibility of production of a high quality cultured beverage with probiotic properties and immunomodulatory effect.
