BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FOOD ADDITIVE WITH HYPOGLYCEMIC PROPERTIES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23L1/30 A23L1/214 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry and can be used for production of high-quality biologically active additives applied for immediate food consumption by way of prophylactics or for creation of food products of specialised purpose. The biologically active food additive having hypoglycaemic properties represents a powder. The powder is produced of girasol tubers by way of their sorting, washing, rinsing with a water solution of carbon dioxide produced by way of carbon dioxide bubbling into water under a pressure equal to 0.1 MPa, girasol tubers dispersion into finely dispersed mass with particle size equal to 50-60 mcm. The produced mass is dried at a temperature of 60-70°C until the moisture content is 6-8%. Dried material is cooled to 20-25°C and cooled dried material is milled into particles sized 30-35 mcm.

EFFECT: invention enables production of a biologically active food additive having a high efficiency of hypoglycaemic properties due to the modes proposed.
