A food composition arranged for human consumption comprising a plurality of ingredients, all from maca root. The invention provides a process for obtaining juice and powder from maca root, wherein the seed of maca root is grinded and centrifuged to make juice and powder. Total 837 protein found in maca root. Among them, 296 are uncharacterized and 35 are putative uncharacterized new found KH good healthy proteins synthesized by KH good healthy cells.
The present invention describes a method for the production of juice and powder from maca root.
The maca root is treated immediately after harvest.
Wash the maca root in cleaning bath at 5 about 0-100 Celsius.
Smash the whole maca root in grinder to cut the thick stem at about 0-100 Celsius. Collect all the raw materials.
Grind the raw materials in superfine mill at about 0-100 Celsius. Collect the raw juice.
Check the pH of the raw juice, about 2.5-10
Centrifuge the raw juice at low to high rpm with normal centrifuge at about −30 to 30 Celsius. Collect the precipitate (“ppt”) and supernatant.
Add 2-4 volume water to ppt. Mix about 10-100 minutes and centrifuge again at low to high rpm with normal centrifuge at about −30 Celsius to 60. Collect the ppt 15 and supernatant.
Add 1-2 volume water to it. Mix about 10-100 minutes and centrifuge again at low to high rpm with normal centrifuge at about −30 to 60 Celsius. Collect the ppt and supernatant.
Mix all the supernatant for 10-100 minutes at about 0-100 Celsius.
Check the supernatant pH, about 2.5 to 10
Centrifuge the supernatant juice at moderate to high rpm with a disc centrifuge at about −30 to 60 Celsius, collect the juice.
Check the juice pH, about.2.5 to 10 pH
Homogenizing the juice at 40-60 MPa.
Sterilize the juice at 130-140 Celsius for 5-20 seconds with a pipe sterilizer.
Bottle the clear juice at 25-35 Celsius. Take sample and check the pH
The juice is concentrated in Single-effect Falling Film Evaporator at 65-85 Celsius until the brix value is 30-50.
The concentrated juice is transfer to the Centrifugal Spray Dryer to get powder.
Packaging the powder.
