METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF PECTIN AND SUGAR CONTAINING FOOD VEGETAL FIBRES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23L1/214 A23L1/524 C08B37/06 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method for production of pectin and sugar containing food vegetal fibres of beet roots envisages initial raw materials washing at water temperature equal to 70-90°C and milling into fractions sized 5.0-20.0 mm. Simultaneously chips are sprayed with 30%-citric acid solution to provide for pH level in squeezed juice within the range of 4.0-4.5. Then one performs squeezing till pulp moisture content is equal to 70-80%, drying in a drying installation during the whole drying period at the product temperature within the range of 32-40°C, blown air humidity during the product drying being10-15%, till the ready product moisture content W=7-9%. The drying installation combines infrared and convective processes. Additionally, the obtained product is ground until homogeneous powdery condition.

EFFECT: method specificity is as follows: manufacture wastelessness, toxic reagents absence, efficiency and high performance due to raw materials maximum usage, environmental safety and minimum number of technological steps.
