RU2398781C1 - Method for production of inulin-containing solution - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method provides for washing and grinding of girasol- sunflower, its pouring with acidified water. Extraction mixture is exposed to electrocontact heating up to 55-65°C. Extraction is carried out at the specified parametres of the process. Extract is concentrated by reverse osmosis, photosterilised and packed under aseptic conditions.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to reduce colouration of inulin with relative high yield of the latter as finished product, to reduce power inputs and to provide for finished product storage life of at least a year without significant change in its consumer and technological properties.

Description

The invention relates to a technology for the production of an inulin-containing solution for food or medical purposes.

A known method of producing an inulin-containing solution from Jerusalem artichoke, including washing Jerusalem artichoke, inspecting it, mechanically cleaning, grinding, electroplasmolysis, pressing to separate juice from squeezed juice, extracting squeezed juice with drinking water, blending juice and extract, adding citric acid, heating, clarification with bentonite, centrifugation with bentonite, centrifugation filtering to obtain the target product (Ibramji J. Use of Jerusalem artichoke in the technology of canned fruit. Abstract of thesis, Candidate of Technical Sciences - Odessa: OTIPP, 1993, pp. 7-13).

The disadvantage of this method is the low yield of inulin, amounting to not more than 65% of theoretically possible, and the unsuitability of the target product for storage due to hydrolysis of inulin with citric acid.

Closest to the proposed method is the production of an inulin-containing solution from Jerusalem artichoke, which includes washing Jerusalem artichoke, steam cleaning, tertiary treatment, cutting, blanching, rubbing, extracting with acidified water and separating the liquid phase as the target product (Akopyan Yu.R. Development of technology for producing fructose syrup from Jerusalem artichoke.Abstract of dissertation of a candidate of technical sciences - M .: MGAPP, 1994, pp. 6-14).

This method allows to increase the yield of inulin to 83.2% of theoretically possible, but has a high energy intensity and high color of the target product.

The technical result of the invention is to reduce energy intensity and color reduction of the target product.

This result is achieved by the fact that in the method for producing an inulin-containing solution, which involves washing and grinding the inulin-containing raw materials, extracting them with acidified water and separating the liquid phase as the target product according to the invention, topsoil is used as the inulin-containing raw materials, extraction is carried out at a phase ratio of 1: 1 , 2, pH 5-6.5 and periodic pressure relief in the extraction mixture until the extractant boils, the extraction mixture is subjected to preliminary electrocontact n Greve to a temperature of 55-65 ° C, and the separated extract is concentrated by reverse osmosis to a dry matter content of 15-20% is subjected fotosterilizatsii and packed under aseptic conditions.

The method is implemented as follows.

The sunflower is washed, inspected and ground, for example, on a crusher to a particle size of 1-2 mm. The ground mass is poured with acidified water until the pH of the extraction mixture reaches 5-6.5 with a phase ratio of 1: 1.2, is subjected to electrical contact heating to a temperature of 55-65 ° C at the recommended process parameters (Guseva M.V. Improving the process of extraction of target components with electrocontact processing of a mixture of vegetable raw materials. Abstract of the dissertation of the candidate of technical sciences - M .: MGUPP, 2008, pp.13-16), extracted with periodic pressure relief in the extraction mixture until the extractant boils at the recommended process parameters (RU 2255788 C1, 2005) and p zdelyayut phase by any known technique. The liquid phase is concentrated by reverse osmosis to a solids content of 15-20%, subjected to photo sterilization and Packed under aseptic conditions to obtain the target product.

It has been experimentally established that when implementing the described technology, the inulin yield is 87% of the theoretically possible. The color of the target product A ₄₇₀ obtained by the described technology and the closest analogue was 0.018 and 0.350, respectively. The energy consumption of the proposed method compared with the closest analogue is reduced by approximately 22%. At the same time, the target product has a shelf life of at least 1 year without significant changes in consumer and technological properties.
