CRYSTALLINE SUGAR FOR SPORT ALIMENTATION AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C13B50/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to sugar refining industry. The crystalline sugar for sport alimentation includes iron (Fe) - 45-55 mg, zinc (Zn) - 40-48 mg, manganese (Mn) - 11-14 mg, copper (Cu) - 3.0-3.8 mg, selenium (Se) - 0.18-0.21 mg, chrome (Cr) - 0.17-0.19 mg, fluoride (F) - 12-15 mg per 100 g of the product. This sugar is preferably produced by way of introduction of mineral components into the effluent produced during washing first crystallisation sugar crystal in the centrifuge, the amount of mineral substances per 100 kg of effluent being as follows: iron ascorbate-440-475 g; zinc cirtate - 380-405 g; manganese citrate - 98-105 g; copper gluconate - 25-30 g; selenomethionine - 0.18-2.0 g; chrome picolinate - 1.7-1.9 g; sodium fluoride - 155-180 g. Then sugar is crystallised from the produced solution under vacuum, the supersaturation coefficient value equal to 1.25-1.28; then crystals are washed with 80-85°C water in an amount of 3.0-4.0% of the crystals weight and further dried.

EFFECT: invention allows to ensure the required level of content of the said microelements in sportsmen's organisms in case of consumption of the proposed sugar and to protect the organism from possible undesirable consequences of intensive physical and psychological strains.
