GRANULATED PRODUCT AND ITS MANUFACTURE METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23P1/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. The method envisages extrusion introduction of a granulation mixture into the forming medium. The granulation mixture is obtained by way of preparation of a sodium alginate solution based on a food product at a specific concentration. The concentration shall provide for the liquid food product gelatination. A marginally soluble calcium salt and a thermotropic polysaccharide are added into the solution, the ratio of sodium alginate to thermotropic polysaccharide and to marginally soluble calcium salt being (5÷100):(5÷100):(1÷6), respectively. Then the produced granulation mixture is extruded into the forming medium at temperatures lower than that of thermotropic polysaccharide dissolution. The forming medium is represented by a solution based on soluble calcium salts. As a result of extrusion of the granulation mixture in the forming medium, primary granule shells are obtained, removed from the forming medium into the affixing medium represented by acid solution with concentration equal to 0.1-0.6% and maintained during 30-180 minutes. Moulded granules are obtained and heated at temperatures higher than that of thermotropic polysaccharide dissolution during 1-45 minutes. The produced granulated product contains ionotropic gel based on sodium alginate and thermotropic gel based on thermotropic polysaccharide.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce a granulated product stable during storage with preservation of organoleptic and structure-and-mechanical indices of fresh fruit-and-vegetable raw materials.
