METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF FUNCTIONAL ADDITIVE WITH GALACTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23C21/02 A23C9/12 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: lactose-containing raw materials is prepared. Fermentation is performed in two stages. At the first stage of fermentation one uses lactose-fermenting food yeast in lactose-containing raw materials with lactose weight fraction equal to 3-15% at a temperature of 30±2°C during 12-24 hours. Lactose content in the mixture is conditioned to 15-40%; the second stage of fermentation is performed with usage of Str. Thermophilus strains failing to ferment galactose at a temperature of 50±2°C during 4-18 hours. The manufactured product is dried.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce a functional food additive with increased galactooligosaccharides content, enriched with Group B vitamins and beta-galactosidase; the additive is safe; the production technology environmental safety is ensured.
