METHOD OF GRANULATED FOOD PRODUCT PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23P1/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. According to the proposed method, a granulation mixture is prepared; for this purpose, a solution of sodium alginate and a thermotropic polysaccharide is prepared based on a liquid food product whereto a marginally soluble calcium salt is added. Resultant is a granulation mixture represented by a suspension of the calcium salt in the polysaccharides solution that is extruded into the forming medium at a temperature exceeding that of the thermotropic polysaccharide gelatination. The forming medium is represented by a solution based on soluble calcium salts. After extrusion, primary granule shells are formed that are relocated from the forming medium into the affixing medium which results in formed grounds generation.

EFFECT: proposed method enables production of a granulated food product from liquid food products such as juice, puree, kvass, wine, cider, balsams, flower infusions and cocktails.
