A method of producing pectin and dietary fibers using electrochemically activated water

Food fibres are included in the list of useful substances necessary for the normal functioning of human organism. It is part of products, that the enzymes of stomach and bowels are unable to overcook. There are they in fruit, vegetables, skin of bobs, and as early as shell of seed and cereals. In Russian Federation the valuable source of pectin is a sugar-beet bagasse, because other types of pectin- containing raw material can not compete with it on a low cost and present resources. A sugar-beet pectin possesses a high protective action,by ability to destroy poisonous substances and radionuclides from an organism. In spite of deficit of pectin in Russia, considerable home production them is presently absent. The methods of production of pectin offered before were bulky, with the low level of apparatus- technological registration and considerable expenses of reagents does not provide the favourable terms of labour with considerable ecological problems. The aim of work is perfection of the modes of receipt of pectin from a sugar-beet bagasse with using as an extractant of the electrochemically activated water. Application of such method allows to soften the process of hydrolysis-extracting, that assists not only the increase of exit and quality of pectin but also gives an opportunity of the further processing of raw material on food fibres. As a result of undertaken studies the modes of realization of process of hydrolysis-extracting of pectin are worked out from a digister. A pectin from a sugar-beet bagasse differs in high maintenance of free carboxyl groups, the use is possible as the complexing agent in a medical and preventive feed. Thus, possibility and expediency of receipt of pectin and food fibres are shown from the offered digister with using as an extractant of the electrochemically activated water. Such technology answers the requirements of ecological safety of production, carries innovative character, assists the decision of problem of the complex use of digister and market entry functional ingredients and bioactive additions of home inexpensive preparations of the complex setting.
