Currently only a small number of researcheshave explored the production process of POS products in laboratory-scale and pilot, however the manufacturing process, as well as the product, has not yet been offered for sale on the market. In this study, several parameters of arecovery processofPOS powder from the pectin hydrolysatehave been established: condense(5 times, by tangential filtration with nanofiltration column kDa), precipitate (ratio of ethanol / concentrates: 3/1), spray drying (5 % maltodextrin, inlet air temperature 170 oC, liquid flow rate L/h). The total yield of the recovery processes is %. The POS product is still stable after 12 months of storage in plastic bags and in bags of tin. Food safety analysis indicate that POS products do not contain mycotoxins, heavymetals, pathogenic microorganisms and the lethal dose LD 50 can not be detected. Keywords: pectin, pecticoligosaccharide, hydrolysis, spray drying, food safety. 1. INTRODUCTION Pectic oligosaccharide (POS) made of 2-10 D galacturonic acid units, bound to each other through α glycosidic bonds, is usually obtained by partial hydrolysis of pectin with pectinase preparations [1 - 4]. Recent studies reported healthy effects for POS, including regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism with decreased
