A functional orientation fermented milk product on a direct starter with the apple powder addition was obtained. The apple pomace powder obtained under gentle conditions enriches the kefir product with pectin substances, vitamins E, B2, B6, iron and potassium. The apple pomace powder was obtained in a vibration vacuum dryer - a mill, which provides drying under vacuum with the combination of grinding processes and intensive vibrational action. This technology allows obtaining a fine powder with a moisture content of 4-6%, minimizing the raw material valuable components loss during drying, since the process temperature is no higher than 40o C. The starter consists of thermophilic, mesophilic lactic acid Streptococcus,and Lactobacillus acidophilus (Lасtococcus lactis sp lactis, Laсtococcus lactis sp. cremoris, Laсtococcus lactis sp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis, Saccharomyces unisporus, Streptococcus salivarius sp. thermophiles).
