Development of technology for the production of fruit and vegetable juices of direct extraction, with functional properties

Processing of fruit and vegetable products (apples, carrots, beets, etc.) in the Republic of Kazakhstan and in the world is very relevant, since 30 % or more of the products obtained during storage are lost. However, this problem still remains unresolved and extremely relevant. Products obtained from apples, table beets and carrots, because of the carbohydrates, vitamins, pectin (0.6 -1.1 g per 100 g) and other vital compounds contained in them, are very useful. Zoned kinds of apples, carrots, and beets were chosen for the technological development for the manufacturing of juices with functional and natural health benefits. Pectin, which is present in table beet and carrot vegetables in high concentrations (0.9-1.4 %), ensures the retention of vitamins, trace elements, and other nutrients in physiologically active form. Following the completion of the research, scientifically sound formulations of functional juices with the inherent and health-improving qualities of direct-pressed juices were created. Based on these formulations, the best technological means of their production were then determined. A study has been done on the shelf life of the functional fruit and vegetable juices that were produced through direct pressing. The research findings were put through mathematical processing in accordance with G.F.'s biometric approach to ensure reliability.
