USING ACTIVE CARBONS TO DEODORIZE FLORENTINE WATER

The presence of biologically active substances (BAS) in the composition fir hydrolate allows use this waste from essential oil production manufacture functional food products. However, specific taste and aroma limits its without prior preparation production, particular beverages. purpose work is to study possibility using carbon-containing sorbents extract compounds that negatively affect organoleptic properties a significant change substances. object hydrolat (florentine water), obtained process by steam distillation. Activated carbons BAU-A ABG grades acted as adsorbents. effect treatment with (static dynamic methods) was assessed changing hexane gas-liquid chromato-mass spectrometry (Agilent 6890N chromatograph), well organoleptically. main components original are borneol bornyl acetate. When infusion method method), optimized only after 3 8 hours contact coals, respectively, at dose 10–12 g/100 cm3, however, concentration comparison initial value decreases 4 times (coal BAU-A). Treatment filtration (dynamic method) through layer adsorbent rate 0.3–1.2 dm3/h significantly reduces severity characteristics. At same time, coal grade contributes an increase amount 15%, 50% relation value. observed changes due both adsorbents used multiple processes (redox, catalytic) occurring on surface coals. results allow us speak about fundamental activated for hydrolates worsen characteristics, while maintaining valuable components. needs be continued direction searching new optimizing processing conditions.
