METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF SUCCADES OF VARIED RIPENESS DEGREE VEGETABLE MARROWS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23L1/06 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to food industry, in particular, to succades production. The vegetable marrow succades production method involves primary treatment of undemanded marketable yield and of raw material of vegetable marrow seed growing remaining after manual or mechanised seed removal; such treatment includes washing, peeling (except for technical ripeness degree vegetables), cutting into 1.5-2.0 cm discs or 2.5×1.0 cm slices or cubes with edge size equal to 2.5 cm. Cut vegetable marrows are poured with hot sugar syrup with dry substances content no less than 73%, maintained for 6-8 h, cooked for 30-40 minutes with addition of 3 g of citric acid and 50 g of chokeberry or raspberry juice at the end of cooking. Upon cooking completion, raw material pieces are separated from syrup and placed onto mesh pans or sieves in a single layer, slightly dried in the sun for 5-6 hours and then sprinkled with dry fine sugar sand. Succades sprinkled with sugar are placed onto mesh pans or sieves in a single layer and finally dried within dry warm ventilated premises or in the sun at a temperature of 20-25°C until air humidity is 16-17% and packaged.

EFFECT: proposed method allows to use nonconforming raw material, ensuring production of a quality product with high organoleptic indices.
