SCHEDA BREVETTO
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of vegetable preserves, comprising immersing a vegetable, properly sized and without non-edible parts, in a solution containing darkening inhibitors; half-cooking the vegetable in water at a temperature comprised between 90 and 100deg.C; immersing the vegetable in a brine solution containing probiotic lactobacilli and/or bifidobacteria in a sterile container and sealing the container. The invention further relates to vegetables and vegetable preserves obtained by means of the process.
Advantages:
A major difficulty in this case is bacterial multiplication, which is necessary to reach high concentrations, i.e. about 10<10> colony forming units (CFJJ)Zg.
However, the intake of dairy products may be problematic for some people, due to allergies and/or intolerances to milk and its-derivatives.

Technical board:
[0003] The present invention relates to food preserves, in particular to vegetable preserves.[0011] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of vegetable preserves containing probiotic microorganisms comprising immersing a vegetable, suitably sized and without non-edible parts, in an aqueous solution containing substances that prevent darkening, preferably citric acid, ascorbic acid, lemon juice or vinegar; draining and half-cooking the vegetable in water at a temperature ranging from 90 to 100<0>C; soaking the vegetable in a brine solution containing lactobacilli and/or bifidobacteria in a sterile container and sealing the container.
[0016] Accordingly, the invention relates to vegetable preserves obtainable with the process described above.
