Technology of manufacture concen- trate from dried leaves of Stevia

Abstract

The purpose. To improve technology of manufacture concentrate from dried leaves of Stevia on the basis of utilization of ecological extractant. Methods. Methodical approaches for development of technological features of production of concentrate of high quality. Results. Features of extraction of matters of diterpene glycosides by treated water with determination of their optimum ratio, temperature and duration of process are probed. Conclusions. Recycling of saturated solution for improving quality of concentrate is justified. Process of purification of extract from ballast matters is probed and instrumental-technological scheme of production is offered.
