Technology of production process and encapsulation fruit and berry concentrates

Abstract

The article presents 2 methods for making concentrates from fruits and berries, which were later used as a filler for alginate capsules. The results of the physicochemical parameters of the obtained concentrates are presented. Of the 15 options for the formulations of fruit and berry concentrates - capsule fillers, 11 formulations were selected, which were divided into categories "up to 7 years" and "7 +" depending on their composition. Under laboratory conditions, the technological regime for the manufacture of alginate capsules by the drop method was worked out. As a result of the single-factor experiment, it was revealed that from the moment a drop of about 6 mm in size is immersed to the formation of a capsule wall with a thickness of about 2.3 mm, 2 minutes are needed in the given experiment parameters: the concentration of alginate in the filler solution is 1 %, the Ph of the filler is 4.2, the concentration of calcium salt, where the drops are immersed to form a sphere - 1 %, the size of the drop is 6 mm, the thickness of the capsules is not less than 2 mm and not more than 2.5 mm. To prevent the process of gelation, it is necessary to heat the spheres in a bath of water at 85 °C for 10 minutes. With such a manipulation, the gelification process stops, and the center of the sphere remains liquid. Prototypes have been developed that are stable if, during storage, they are immersed in a neutral medium of the filler. Based on the results of a sensory assessment of the quality and texture of yogurt from sheep and goat milk mixed with capsules according to M. Bourne, it can be concluded that mixing the homogeneous structure of yogurt with capsules has a positive effect on the taste range, the product acquires a new look and taste, while not losing its quality.
