COMPOSITIONS, PRODUCTS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOMASS CONTAINING ACTIVATED PECTIN Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC C08B37/00 C08B37/06 A23L29/00 A23J3/00 A23J3/14 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method for the production of a composition of biomass containing activated pectin includes: A) mixing of initial material of biomass containing pectin, including an insoluble fibrous component and an insoluble protopectin component, with an aqueous alcohol solution to obtain a mixture, B) activation of initial material of biomass containing pectin to obtain material of biomass containing activated pectin, including an insoluble fibrous component and a soluble pectin component, by processing initial material of biomass containing pectin by: (i) an activating solution obtained in addition of acid to the mixture to obtain pH of the mixture in the range from 0.5 to 2.5, and (ii) heating to a temperature of above 40°C, C) application of mechanical energy either: (i) to the mixture at the stage A), (ii) during the activation at the stage B), or (iii) to the mixture at the stage A) and during the activation at the stage B), and D) separation of the composition of biomass containing activated pectin from the mixture.

EFFECT: invention allows for obtaining food fiber from plants containing pectin that can be easily recycled with saving of both soluble and insoluble components of fibers with high quality properties.
