Features of the Technology for Producing Potato Drink Concentrate Based on it

We have developed a technology that has no analogues in the world for the production of potato concentrate and a technology for preparing a new original carbonated soft drink based on it. Technology for the production of potato concentrate (from: fresh whole potatoes includes either crushed potatoes, or good-quality dry waste, or good-quality mashed waste) the following technological stages: acceptance of potatoes, washing of tubers, inspection of potatoes, peeling potatoes, boiling potatoes, preparation of amylolytic enzyme preparations, enzymatic hydrolysis (liquefaction and saccharification) of the boiled mass, clarification of the saccharified mass, evaporation, acidification, bottling. The technology for the production of potato drinks includes the following technological steps: water preparation, preparation of sugar syrup, concentrate processing, preparation of a citric acid solution, preparation of spicy aromatic infusions, preparation of color, preparation of a preservative, preparation of blended syrup, bottling of the drink. Promising areas of research in the field of improving the technology for obtaining potato concentrate are: the development of new technological schemes, the optimization of technology for hydroxymethylfurfural and melanoidins, the enzymatic method of enriching potato concentrate with fructose, the development of technologies for obtaining potato concentrate from the waste of the potato starch industry, and the technology of potato drinks is to increase their shelf life.
