METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF PUMPKIN-MARZIPAN SLABS FOR FUNCTIONAL ALIMENTATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23L1/30 A23G3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to functional food products manufacture. The pumpkin-marzipan slabs production method envisages complex usage of pumpkin processing products: paste and seeds kernels with addition of sugar sand, fructose, molasses and a flavouring agent. The said components are heated at a temperature of 80°C under vacuum equal to 0.6-0.8 kPa during 20 minutes; then the mass is cooled, moulded, cut into slabs, slightly dried, sprinkled with starch and packed. The components are used at the following consumption rate of raw materials, kg per 100 kg of slabs: pumpkin paste - 111.0, sugar sand - 12.6, fructose - 10.1, molasses - 23.0, pumpkin seeds kernels - 10.4, flavouring agent - 0.01, starch - 1.02.

EFFECT: invention allows to manufacture new products for functional alimentation due to their enrichment with biologically active substances and food fibres by way of a resource- and vitamin-preserving technology.
