BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FOOD ADDITIVE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23L1/30 A23L1/214 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry and may be used in production of functional and specialised purpose food products as well as those intended for direct consumption. The biologically active food additive is represented by girasol tubers powder. The powder is produced by way of girasol tubers 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 particles sized 50-60 mcm, the produced mass drying, the dried material cooling and the cooled dried material milling. Drying is performed at a temperature of 60-70°C until the moisture content is equal to 6-8%. The dried material is cooled to 20-25°C and the cooled dried material is milled into particles sized 30-35 mcm.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce biologically active food additive with high content of physiologically functional ingredients, in particular, inuline; the biologically active food additive is recommended for direct consumption as well as for functional and specialised purpose food products manufacture.
