Petrova Z. The Development processes of reception of the Carotene-containing Food Products

The dissertation is devoted to the development of processes of reception of the new carotene-containing products, recommendations on utilization of them in food products. Various methods of hygrothermic processing of raw materials (carrot, pumpkin, soya beans) for better preservation of carotenoids were tested. The influence of drying kinetics on carotenoid content in carotenoid-containing raw materials was investigated. The degree of cell-destruction during the dispergation was determined. Physic-chemical properties of powdered carotene-containing materials were investigated. The technology of the reception of carotene-containing mixtures and paste-similar carotene-containing on the base of oil and carrot powder for producing food supplements with immuno-modulating action was developed. The complex of measures on inculcation of the research results in practice was fulfilled. Key words: carotene, hygrothermic processing, process of drying, extraction, technology, carotene-containing powders, carotene-containing paste.
