Abstract

FIELD: baby food production process.

SUBSTANCE: method involves cooking groats in 0.5-1.5%-pectin extract; 5 minutes before finishing of cooking procedure, introducing into mixture cut fruits and/or vegetables; providing homogenization; drying; introducing vitamin additive; packaging for obtaining of base product.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of powder and decreased time of process cycle.

Description

The invention relates to a technology for the production of products for baby food.

A known method of producing a dry mix for baby food, involving boiling cereals in drinking water, adding fruit and vegetable puree, homogenization and drying to obtain the target product (RU 2013066 C1, 05/30/1994).

The disadvantages of this method are the long duration of the technological cycle and obtaining the target product, prone to clumping.

The technical result of the invention is to reduce the duration of the technological cycle and improve the quality of the target product.

This result is achieved by the fact that the method of producing a dry mix for baby food provides for the preparation of prescription components, cutting fruits and / or vegetables, cooking cereals in a pectin extract with a pectin content of 0.5-1.5% to achieve a dry matter content of about 25%, introduction of fruits and / or vegetables into the mixture 5 minutes before the end of cooking, homogenization, drying, introduction of a vitamin supplement and packaging to obtain the target product.

The method is implemented as follows.

Prescription components that meet the requirements for raw materials for the production of baby food (Dmitrieva E.T. et al. Canned foods and concentrates for baby food. - M .: Agropromizdat, 1985, p.40-74), prepared according to the accepted for them traditional technology. Prepared fruits and / or vegetables are chopped. Pectin extract with a pectin content of 0.5-1.5% is an intermediate product of pectin production. It is taken from the pectin production line after the hydrolysis-extraction step and filtered. Prepared cereals are introduced into the pectin extract in a ratio of 1:10, which is traditionally used to digest cereals in the production of baby food, and boiled until the solids content in the cereal is about 25%. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, fruits and / or vegetables are introduced into the mixture in an amount of 30 to 50%, recommended for the corresponding type of fruits and / or vegetables used as mashed potatoes in similar mixtures for baby food. After cooking, the mixture is homogenized and dried. In the drying method other than spray or in a fluidized bed of inert bodies, the mixture is crushed to a powder state and then sieved. The residual moisture content of the mixture should not exceed 5%, as in traditional products of a similar purpose. A vitamin supplement is added to the dry mixture in an amount of about 1/3 of the daily requirement for the appropriate vitamins for children from 3.5 months old, and then packaged to obtain the target product, which is recommended for children at the above age chemical composition.

It has been experimentally established that the product obtained by the proposed method is easily restored by water to a uniform puree consistency, does not form agglomerates and does not crumple when stored in an unpressurized package for a week at an air humidity of up to 76%. The product obtained by the closest analogue is crumpled upon storage in an unpressurized package after 1-2 days. At the same time, the duration of the technological cycle in the proposed method is 37% less than in the closest analogue.

Thus, the proposed method allows to reduce the duration of the technological cycle and improve the quality of the target product.
