METHOD FOR COMPLEX PROCESSING OF PROTEIN-CONTAINING GREEN PLANTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23K1/14 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: milled green plant mass is squeezed in the screw press to produce herbal cake and green juice. The green juice is delivered for filtration; then the solid fraction is mixed with the herbal cake; the purified green juice is heated and supplied into the microfiltration modules unit for fine purification. The generated sediment is also mixed with the herbal cake; the purified filtrate is delivered into an accumulation vessel with simultaneous introduction of an antioxidant solution. The filtrate with the antioxidant is concentrated in the ultrafiltration modules unit. The produced concentrate is dried to produce a powdery protein concentrate; the spray drier exhaust air is purified in the purifier cyclone to remove the finely dispersed fraction that is then combined with the powdery protein concentrate. After the screw press the herbal cake is mixed with the solid phase released from the filter and the microfiltration modules unit; the produced mixture is delivered into the aerator and then dried.

EFFECT: manufacture of high quality products ie a dry cake and a powdery protein concentrate with energy consumption reduction and the method environmental friendliness improvement.
