Method for production of a dry functional complex mixture for fermented milk products is as follows: dry mixture of red bilberries and cranberries press cake is obtained separately for each type of berries. Berry press cake is laid in a uniform layer on baking sheets, dried by convective method at temperature of 45–50 °C for 10 hours to moisture content of not more than 10 %. Dried press cake of berries is cooled to temperature of 18–20 °C. It is milled to particle size of not more than 0.5 mm and sieved. Press cake is mixed with stabilizing food additives during 15 minutes. Mixture is passed through a hopper equipped with a UV-radiation device and packed into food containers.
