METHOD FOR OBTAINING INULIN FROM WILD PLANTS MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C08B37/18 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of obtaining inulin from chicory and elecampane is proposed, including preparing the inulin-containing raw material, its mechanical cleaning, washing the roots, rhizomes, stems, their grinding and mixing. The mixed and shredded pieces of raw material are extracted twice with hot water at the temperature of 75°C for 2-3 days at constant stirring. The resulting inulin extract in mass is treated with 96% ethanol at a ratio of 1:1 by volume, with the subsequent deposition of inulin at the temperature of minus 16°C. The resulting inulin is intended for use as a food additive in manufacturing functional meat, flour and dairy products.

EFFECT: quality improvement.
