Technology of fine powders and apple puree

Purpose:

The development can be used for the targeted production of plant heterogeneous finely dispersed food systems using the processes of mechanodestruction, cryomechanodestruction and non-enzymatic catalysis.

Area:

Food industry.

Advantages:

The proposed technology makes it possible to obtain mashed potatoes and powders, the quality of which, in terms of the content of soluble pectin substances, low-molecular biologically active substances, approaches the quality of mashed potatoes and powders obtained using cryogenic processing, and exceeds the quality of domestic and foreign analogues, incl. obtained using the processing of raw materials with enzyme preparations. Compared to world analogues, the degree of assimilation of new types of finely dispersed purees and powders, according to the Brines biotesting method, is 3-4 times higher.

Description:

The development concerns the production of fine powders and puree from apples – raw materials with a high content of sparingly soluble heteropolysaccharides. The production technology includes a complex effect on the raw materials of the processes of steam thermal treatment (or freezing) and mechanolysis with fine grinding, which makes it possible to more fully (3-5 times more than is determined by chemical methods in fresh raw materials), to exclude not only inactive hidden (associated) in nanocomplexes with biopolymers, low molecular weight BAS, but also hardly soluble forms of pectin substances, cellulose, protein and transform them by 50–70% into monomers in a soluble easily assimilated form.
