PORTION-SIZED FOOD COMPOSITION AND PRODUCTION METHOD TECHNICAL FIELD The invention involves the use of an extract base obtained from marrow and / or bone marrow, in fruit production. combined with pectin and / or dietary fiber fractions obtained from processing by-products and stabilization of the resulting mixture within a pectin-based gel matrix. The single-serving hybrid gel food composition prepared by means of... The topic relates to the method of producing the composition. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In food and meat processing, marrow and boneless bones are produced as byproducts. These bones contain collagen, protein, and calcium and phosphate minerals. However, it can be used in low value-added applications or as waste. They can be removed. Therefore, these bones are used in food production. converting raw materials into usable components both increases the utilization of raw materials and... This is important both for increasing production and for utilizing by-products. Protein and collagen-derived components are extracted from bones using hot water. Liquid extracts containing amino acids and mineral components can be obtained. However, The composition of the resulting extract depends on the bone raw material used and the extraction process. This can vary depending on the temperature and extraction time. Extraction Changes in duration and temperature facilitate the transition of protein and mineral components to the liquid phase. It can have an effect. Long-term heat treatments, however, lead to a reduction in volatile components and 25 This can lead to increased oxidative changes. Therefore, bone extract... It is important that it is prepared under specific temperature and time conditions. Another characteristic of bone extract is that its fat, protein, and mineral components remain the same. It is the ability to contain it within the system. Especially the oil phase, then the pectin of the extract. Phase separation and structural instability can occur if it is placed inside a gel system containing 30. This can cause problems. Therefore, reducing the fat phase after extraction and Removal of solid particles by filtration, gel composition These are among the procedures that can be carried out before preparation. 2 Plant-derived pectin is used in food products to form gels. Pectin is a polysaccharide. The gel-forming behavior of pectin depends on the degree of methoxylation. Gel formation in low methoxylated pectins is mediated by calcium ions. This can be achieved. In highly methoxylated pectins, however, gel formation depends on pH and solubility. This can be achieved by controlling the amount of solid matter. 5 Apple pulp, citrus peels, pomegranate peels, and similar fruit processing by-products. The products are among plant-based raw materials containing pectin and dietary fiber. This side effect Extraction of pectin and / or fiber-containing fractions from products, fruit processing by-products This makes it possible to reuse their products in food formulations. However, a bone extract that may contain protein, minerals, and a certain amount of fat can weigh 10%. Incorporating pectin into a gel system is not a simple mixing process. The ions present in the system can affect the gelling behavior of pectin, the oil phase. This can make it difficult to maintain a homogeneous structure and the protein and polysaccharide components Interactions between them can lead to structural problems that may manifest as phase separation or fluid release. This can be the reason. 15 In the current state of the art, pectin-based gel compositions and gelatin, pectin Various food products are known to use gelling agents such as agar.
