GUMMY GINGERBREAD PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A21D13/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to technology for production of flour confectionary products. The method envisages recipe components pre-processing, preparation of gummy dough of a mixture of wheat flour and girasol flour flavoured with basil, sugar, molasses, water, melange, soda and carbon-ammonium salt, dough kneading, moulding, baking and glazing. Girasol flour flavoured with basil is prepared by way of girasol cutting, drying in the microwave field (till residual moisture content is equal to 20% with the microwave field intensity providing for girasol heating until temperature inside the pieces is equal to 80-90°C during no less than 1 hour), frying, impregnation with separated miscella (produced by way of basil extraction with liquid nitrogen with simultaneous pressure boost), depressurisation till atmospheric value with simultaneous freezing of girasol and its cryo-grinding in the medium of released nitrogen.

EFFECT: produced gummy gingerbreads have increased volume combined with uniform porosity preservation.
