Abstract

The study aimed to obtain grape jam and compote according to modern requirements, based on the method of osmotic dehydration and the use of deionized grape concentrate as a sugar substitute. Nutritional and functional properties are important for the estimation of the grape cultivar. From this point of view, Alphonse Lavallée has been chosen, which is dark-skinned and is used mainly as a table cultivar; it is obtained in France by the cross-breeding of Hamburg muscat and the Georgian cultivar Colchian kharistvala. The deionized concentrate of grape with SS content 70 B is used as an osmotic agent; the duration of the process is 5 hours: the initial temperature is 40 oC, duration 1 h, at the next stage - 30 oC; the mass ratio of the osmotic agent and grapes is 1:1. The results of osmotic dehydration of grape are: weight reduction WR= 26.0%, solid gain 4.1%; water loss WL=30.1%, the amount of soluble solid substance that went into osmotic solution is 1.8%. To produce a jam, the deionized concentrate of grapes has been added to dehydrated fruit, mass ratio 60:40. In the case of compote, the syrup is added to the dehydrated fruit, which is obtained by diluting the osmotic agent with water, a concentration is 5.0... 7.0%, mass ratio 60:40. As a result, the product contains more fruit, less free sugar, the energy value is reduced, anthocyanins are preserved better.
