Method for manufacturing dry microcapsulated drink (variants). RU patent 2287305.

FIELD: soft drinks industry.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation refers to drinks' concentrates based upon plant raw material, for example, tea raw material. By the first variant, the method deals with obtaining plant product as an extract followed by mixing it with a supplementary substance as gum arabic, and a dairy product as dry whole milk; while mixing it is necessary to add saccharose and water to obtain emulsion that contains 1-20 weight portions of gum arabic , 5-50 weight portions of saccharose, 0.5-5.0 weight portions of dry plant extract, 35.0-70.0 weight portions of dry whole milk and 97.0-408.3 weight% water. Then comes drying due to spraying at temperature not exceeding 70° C at developing microcapsules with membranes out of gum arabic. By the second variant this method deals with obtaining plant product as aqueous plant extract at the content of dry substances being 10-30 % followed by mixing it with additional substance and dairy product. Moreover, as additional and dairy product one should apply gum arabic and dry whole milk, correspondingly. While mixing it is necessary to add saccharose and water to obtain the mixture in the form of emulsion. The latter contains 1-20 weight portions gum arabic, 5-50 weight portions saccharose, 95.1-388.3 weight portions aqueous plant extract at the content of dry substances being 10-30%, 35.0-70.0 weight portions of dry whole milk and 95.1-388.0 weight portions of water followed by drying due to spraying at temperature not exceeding 70° C, at developing microcapsules with membranes out of gum arabic. Plant extract should be obtained out of the mixture of grasses and/or, roots, and/or inflorescences, and/or fruit that contains, at least, two components. The present innovation enables to obtain dry product as microcapsules, their membrane being out of natural polymer that provides the safety of lipids (fat) and biologically active substances.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of manufacturing.

Beverage aromatizing straw / 2313260
Drinking straw has elongated tubular casing. There is predetermined amount of aromatizing concentrate within internal space of tubular casing, said aromatizing concentrate being formed as a plurality of solid spherical granules having diameter making from about 25% to about 75% the internal diameter of tubular casing, and have average diameter of from 2 mm to 3 mm. Granules are held within straw by means of filtering means formed as end caps, each having netted portion and cylindrical mounting part. Netted portion has perforations formed as elongated slots providing relatively unobstructed passage of liquid through casing, with width of slots making about 1 mm. Netted portion is generally configured as inwardly oriented cone. Granules are preferably formed from "nonpareil" type granules, each consisting of a number of concentric layers. Passage of liquid beverage induces gradual dissolving of granules and simultaneously releasing of active component into beverage during drinking.

Beverage precursor and its production method / 2428887
Inventions group relates to a dried beverage precursor slab weighing at least 0.2 g and containing a vegetable extract chosen from a group consisting of dry substances of tea, coffee, cocoa, fruit and their mixtures and at least one inclusion which is insoluble in boiling water. The insoluble inclusion has a maximum linear dimension equal to at least 1 mm. The packed beverage precursor contains at least one beverage precursor slab. The beverage production method envisages production of the beverage precursor slab and contacting the slab or its part with an aqueous medium. The method for production of the dried beverage precursor slab envisages production of a water premix containing a vegetable extract, production of one or more inclusions which are insoluble in boiling water, combining one or more insoluble inclusions with the water premix to produce a mixture; drying the mixture and releasing the cohesive part of the mixture weighing at least 0.2 g to produce a slab.

Calcium-enriched composition and its production method / 2435454
Invention is related to a calcium-enriched composition. The solid phase composition contains at least one hydrocarbon source, at least one calcium source and at least one organic acid. Calcium content is from 7 to 12 wt % while the composition solubility in water is at least 500 g/l. Proposed is an aerated beverage enriched with 300-350 mg/l calcium by way of the said composition introduction; proposed is an aerated beverage or concentrate enriched with 400 mg of calcium per 250 ml of the beverage or concentrate by way of the said composition introduction. The method for production of the calcium-enriched composition envisages dissolution of the carbohydrate source in water solution, addition of the calcium source for production of a carbohydrate-and-calcium solution, filtration, addition of the organic acid source and the composition drying. The composition, if dissolved, is not separated from the liquid phase of a product such as a beverage even after storage under no chilling conditions for three months.

The method envisages growing of a tea fungus biomass (zooglea) in a nutritional medium represented by tea infusion with a sugar-containing product with subsequent incubation of culture liquid after zooglea removal. Tea fungus zooglea incubation is performed during (2…110) days; the produced culture liquid is incubated under aerobic conditions while stirred at a rate of 0.1…2 m/sec at a temperature of (12…40)°C during (40…80) hours. One produces a concentrate from the produced biologically active beverage in the process of the beverage evaporation. Evaporation is performed within the temperature range of 45°C…55°C till production of dry substances weight fraction equal to more than 60 wt %.

Method of granulated food product production / 2512246
Invention relates to food industry and may be used in the field of individual and public catering in the process of instant food products production. The method for production of the granulated food product includes production of fruit-and-berry concentrates and press cake, their mixing with sugar powder, a structure-forming agent and the other recipe ingredients. The structure forming agent is represented by buckwheat flour that is extruded. The extrudate is milled into 180 mcm particles and introduced in an amount of 30-36 wt %. The mixture is granulated and dried till residual moisture content is 8-9% at a temperature of 50-55°C. The produced granules are classified in terms of size for removal of particles sized less than 0.5 mcm or over 3.0 mm; then one proceeds with packing.
