Process for producing a food supplement containing proanthocyanidins

摘要

A process for producing a proanthocyaninin-containing dietary supplement comprises the following steps: preparing a carrier component - caramelized oatmeal by heating while stirring a mixture of 75 to 85 wt. % oatmeal and 15 to 25 wt. an aqueous solution of sucrose in which the water content is 40 to 60% by weight, the caramelized flakes are allowed to cool and finely ground, and then the ground flakes are mixed with finely ground dried or lyophilized waste from the pressing of grape seed oil in a ratio of 80 to 90 % wt. % of flakes and 10 to 20 wt. This mixture is mixed with a glucose-fructose syrup prepared from a mixture of 50 to 65 wt. % sucrose, 5-10 wt. % citric acid and 30 to 40 wt. water by heating it while stirring until a syrup consistency has been achieved, granules are compressed from the mixture formed in the previous step, their stickiness being limited by dusting with corn starch; The agranules are dried at room temperature under reduced air pressure.
