DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY FOR EXTRACTING AND ENCAPSULATING EXTRACT FROM EARTH PEAR TUBERS

Abstract

Granules of dry extracts from Jerusalem artichoke tubers were obtained using the moisture-activated granulation method, which allows using a minimum amount of auxiliary liquid and obtaining a high-quality finished product without additional thermal drying. The advisability of using lactose USP, corn starch, kleptose, montmorillonite (moistening with 1% PVP solution) as auxiliary substances has been scientifically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. The Carr index values are 19.35%; 18.57%; 18.18%; 17.46% and 16.43%, respectively. It has been established that Jerusalem artichoke tubers have a diverse set of amino acids and a high percentage of their content from 4.83 to 6.14%.

The predominant amino acids in all samples are: aspartic acid from 9 to 14%, glutamic acid from 12 to 18%), proline content from 7 to 13% of the total amino acid content.
