Abstract
Nutrient rich, low fat, high fiber, carrot product containing 20-50% by weight of fiber of which 15-40% by weight is insoluble and 5-10% by weight is soluble, 0.1-1.0% by weight of fat, 10-55% by weight of carbohydrates, 0.02-1% by weight of carotenoids and vitamins and 5-10% by weight of minerals and trace elements. A process for the preparation of the carrot product requires the step of stabilizing carrot juice with carbohydrate in amounts ranging from 1-10% by weight of the juice. A formulation of the carrot product mixed with excipients.
Claims22
A low fat, high fiber carrot product which is rich in nutrients comprising 20-50% by weight of fiber of which 15-40% by weight is insoluble and 5-10% by weight is soluble, 0.1-1.0% by weight of fat, 10-55% by weight of carbohydrates, 0.02-1% by weight of carotenoids and vitamins and 5-10% by weight of minerals and trace elements.
A process for preparing a low fat, high fiber carrot product which is rich in nutrients comprising 20-50% by weight fiber of which 15-40% by weight is insoluble and 5-10% by weight is soluble, 0.1-1.0% by weight of fat, 10-55% by weight of carbohydrates, 0.02-1% by weight of carotenoids and vitamins and 5-10% by weight of minerals and trace elements, the process comprising crushing carrots, pressing the crushed carrots to separate pomace from juice, adjusting the pH of the juice to a value of 3.0 to 6.0 with a carboxylic acid wherein the amount of acid is equivalent to 0.03 to 3% by weight of the juice, stabilizing the juice with a carbohydrate in an amount ranging from 1-10% by weight of the juice, separating residual matter from the juice to provide a clarified supernatant, concentrating the clarified supernatant to provide a concentrate, blending the concentrate with the previously isolated pomace to provide a blend, drying the blend, pulverizing or granulating the blend to provide granules, and sieving the granules.
A process as claimed in claim r, wherein the carboxylic acid is in solid form or in the form of a saturated aqueous solution in an amount of acid equivalent to 0.2 to 1% by weight of the juice.
A low fat, high fiber carrot product which is rich in nutrients comprising 20-50% by weight fiber of which 15-40% by weight is insoluble and 5-10% by weight is soluble, 0.1-1.0% by weight of fat, 10-55% by weight of carbohydrates, 0.02-1% by weight of carotenoids and vitamins and 5-10% by weight of minerals and trace elements mixed with excipients.
A process for preparing a low fat, high fiber carrot product which is rich in nutrients comprising:
- crushing carrots to provide crushed carrots;
- pressing the crushed carrots to separate pomace from juice;
- adjusting the pH of the juice to a value of 3.0 to 6.0 with a carboxylic acid;
- stabilising the juice with a carbohydrate;
- separating residual matter from the juice to provide a clarified supernatant;
- concentrating the clarified supernatant to provide a concentrate;
- blending the concentrate with the previously isolated pomace to provide a blend;
- drying the blend;
- and
- pulverizing or granulating the blend to provide granules.
