Description

The invention relates to the sugar industry and can be used as a functional product in human nutrition or in food production.

There is a known method for the production of flavored sugar, characterized in that a water-based food flavoring solution is used as an additive in an amount of 0.1 to 0.2% by weight of sugar, before the product is dried, the flavored sugar crystals are encapsulated with a syrup film, for which they are additionally sprayed fine aerosol obtained by dispersing a saturated aqueous solution of sucrose with a concentration of 71-73%, heated to a temperature of 45-55 ° C, into crystals in a vibro-fluidized layer [RU No. 2555788 C1. Publ. 10/07/2015].

The method makes it possible to obtain flavored sugar with improved quality stability due to a decrease in flavor losses due to its volatility and oxidation. The disadvantage of this method is that the obtained sugar has a low biological value, as well as an uneven distribution of the added food additives by weight of sugar.

Closest to the proposed method is a method for producing granulated sugar with additives, in which sugar syrup is introduced in an amount of 0.1 ... 2.0 kg per 1 kg of granules with stirring. Then, after mixing sugar crystals with syrup, a concentrated solution of fruit extract is sprayed on them at the rate of 3 ... 5% in terms of dry matter. To build up crystals, a syrup with a content of 80-85% of dry substances, obtained from granulated sugar [RU 2332468 C1. Publ. 27.08.2008].

The method improves the nutritional and biological value of the finished product. Its main disadvantage is the loss of the beneficial properties of the fruit extract due to the drying of granules with hot air at a temperature of 80 ... 100 ° C, which contributes to the destruction of the chemical structure of the plant extract molecule and a decrease in nutritional properties.

The technical result of the invention is to obtain a granular sugar-containing product with increased nutritional value and enriched with vitamins useful for tooth enamel.

This result is achieved by the fact that in the proposed method the sugar-containing product is enriched with vitamins D, K2 and Ca, useful for tooth enamel, as well as natural fruit extracts that have immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects. At the same time, the introduction of vitamins is carried out not at the stage of mixing the solution with the fruit extract and further drying at high temperatures (70 ... 85 ° С), but by spraying them onto the dried granules with further drying, only at lower temperatures of 40 ... 50 ° С in within 15 ... 20 minutes, which contributes to the preservation of the chemical structure of the vitamin molecule, since vitamin K2 is destroyed at temperatures above 54 ° C [Vitamins. Macro- and microelements: a reference book / V.V. Gorbachev, V.N. Gorbachev. - Moscow: Medical book, 2011 .-- 428 p. (p. 424-428)].

The method for the production of granulated sugar-containing product is as follows.

Crushed granulated sugar with a crystal size of 0.4-1.8 mm is used as a seed.

Food additives, namely fruit extracts of wild rose, hawthorn and citrus in a ratio of 2: 2: 1 in an amount of 10-15% of the total amount of granulated sugar, having a pH of 4.0-6.0, are mixed in a ratio of 1-2: 3 -4 with a sugar solution at a temperature of 35-40 ° C, taking into account the total dry matter content in the resulting solution 80-85%. The resulting solution is thoroughly mixed, introduced by drop method into crushed granulated sugar with constant mechanical stirring until a homogeneous crystalline mass is obtained, and sucrose granules are grown to a crystal size of 0.6-2.1 mm.

Next, the resulting granulated mass is pressed into pieces. The pressed pieces of sugar are dried in the temperature range from 70-85 ° C for 25-30 minutes, after which they are cooled to a temperature not exceeding 25-30 ° C.

Functional food ingredients, vitamins D, K2 and Ca, are sprayed onto chilled pressed sugar cubes. Then the pressed sugar is dried at a temperature of 45-50 ° C for 15-25 minutes.

The use of natural fruit extracts, such as rosehip extract, hawthorn extract, citrus extract, as food additives makes it possible to obtain a product with increased nutritional and functional properties.

Rosehip extract is the extract of nutrients from its fruits. The peculiarity of this remedy is that the concentration of nutrients in it is several times higher compared to fresh fruits, decoctions or tinctures. Rosehip extract has an immunostimulating effect. It effectively treats the symptoms of the common cold. Rosehip extract has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. It normalizes blood pressure, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, increases blood clotting and removes harmful cholesterol from it [I.V. Maev / A.N. Kazyulin / P.A. White / Vitamins - 2011 - S. 465-544.].

Hawthorn extract improves memory, metabolism, reduces cholesterol and blood sugar levels and normalizes sleep. The extract of the fruits and flowers of this plant benefits the whole body, has a complex effect on various systems [Healing properties of food plants / T.L. Kiseleva, A.A. Karpeev, Yu.A. Smirnova and others; under total. ed. T.L. Kiseleva. - Moscow, p. 509-519, 526-532].

Citrus extract has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, destroys pathogenic microbes, heals and prevents vitamin deficiency, lowers cholesterol [E.Sh. Bowes / The healing power of vitamins: vitamins and minerals to promote health. - Moscow, 2012. - S. 394].

Concentrated fruit extracts of three types, taken in the ratio of rosehip: hawthorn: citrus 2: 2: 1, having a pH of 4.0 ... 6.0, are mixed in a ratio of 1-2: 3-4 with an aqueous solution of sucrose at a temperature of 35-40 ° Taking into account the total dry matter content in the resulting solution 80-85%. The total introduced amount of fruit extracts ranges from 10-15%) of the total mass of granulated sugar. The use of an extract with a pH of 4.0-6.0 provides optimal drying conditions for the target product. When the pH of the extract is less than 4.0, the temperature causes the formation of reducing sugars on the surface of sugar crystals, as a result of which such a product is practically impossible to dry.

The resulting solution is thoroughly mixed and introduced dropwise into granulated sugar with mechanical stirring until a homogeneous crystalline mass is obtained. It is envisaged to build up sucrose seed granules to a crystal size of 0.6-2.1 mm. The finished mixture is pressed into pieces of sugar.

Sugar is pressed in the form of cubes, the length of the side ranges from 1 to 1.5 cm. It is possible to press sugar in the form of various figures with a diameter of no more than 3-3.5 cm for children.

The pressed pieces of sugar are dried in the temperature range of 70-85 ° C for 25-30 minutes, and then cooled to a temperature not higher than 25-30 ° C. Drying and cooling processes can be carried out both in separate apparatuses and in one, combining both processes. These devices can be drum (rotary), chamber, mine, etc.

Functional food ingredients, vitamins D, K2 (menaquinone) and Ca, are sprayed onto chilled sugar lumps.

Vitamin D not only strengthens tooth enamel, but also activates odontoblasts - cells that work the dental immune system, producing dentin, vital for tooth regeneration and enamel health. A number of scientific studies have found an obvious link between a sufficient amount of vitamin D in the body and a decrease in the risk of caries [V.M. Kodentsova / Vitamins - Moscow, 2015 .-- 400 p. - Bibliography S. 357-401].

Calcium is widely recognized as an extremely beneficial mineral for teeth. However, without vitamin K2, calcium can be deposited in the wrong places. Vitamin K2 directs calcium to bones and teeth [I.V. Maev / A.N. Kazyulin / P.A. White / Vitamins - Moscow, 2011. - S. 465-544].

Calculation of the norm of human physiological need for vitamins and microelements is carried out in accordance with MP 2.3.1.2432-08 "Norms of physiological needs for energy and nutrients for various groups of the population of the Russian Federation".

The calculation of the amount of added vitamin supplements is carried out taking into account the daily physiological need of a person for vitamin D equal to 2.5-10 μg, Ca equal to 500-1500 mg, K2 equal to 20-120 μg, while the level of satisfaction is taken as 25% of the physiological norm. human needs, taking into account its intake and with other food products.

Then the pressed sugar is dried in the temperature range 45-50 ° C for 15-25 minutes, which ensures the preservation of vitamins.

Sugar is packed in boxes, packs, packages from 0.25 to 1.0 kg inclusive (boxes in accordance with GOST 12301, packs in accordance with GOST 12303).

Example. Prepare crushed granulated sugar in an amount of 100 kg with a crystal size of 0.4-1.8 mm. Fruit concentrated liquid extracts in an amount of 13% of the total mass of granulated sugar - 13 kg are dissolved in a ratio of 1.3: 3.5 with a sugar solution at a temperature of 38 ° C, taking into account the total solids content in the solution from 84%. Next, the sugar solution of the fruit extract is injected into the crushed granulated sugar by drop method. The growth of sucrose seed granules up to crystal sizes of 0.6-2.1 mm is carried out. Then the mixture is sent to the pressing device. The pressed pieces of sugar are subjected to stepwise drying at a temperature of 80 ° C for 30 minutes, after which they are cooled to a temperature not exceeding 27 ° C. Functional food ingredients such as vitamins D, K2 and Ca are sprayed onto chilled sugar lumps. Next, the fortified pressed sugar is dried at a temperature of 45 ° C for 20 minutes.

The resulting granulated sugar-containing product, enriched with natural fruit extracts, containing useful nutrients, has increased nutritional value and is enriched with vitamins useful for tooth enamel that reduce the risk of caries. The method of its production ensures the most complete preservation of all introduced additives, due to the selection of the appropriate thermal regime.

Thus, the proposed method allows you to increase the nutritional and functional properties of the product by introducing into it fruit extracts and vitamins in an amount calculated taking into account the norm of human physiological needs.
