Some plant sources of biologically active substances particularly cruciferous vegetables, both in native form and as extracts, display effects towards carcinogenesis that make these food sources cancer protective and recurrence preventive agents. In the currently developing tendency towards functional foodstuffs like dairy products targeted at nutritional-dependent diseases, development of a dairy beverage containing sulforaphane deserves attention. Creating a recipe for such a product includes: selecting a plant sulforaphane source, testing its compatibility with the milk base, choosing the addition dosage and methods and experimental beverage preparation. In pursuit of these goals in the study, firstly, turnip (Brassica rapa l.) root, an affordable sulforaphane provider, was chosen. Glucoraphanin content in various turnip varieties was determined and the Golden Ball variety selected. Sulforaphane was introduced to milk in turnip purée and aqueous extract forms. The effect of purée/extract dosage on milk fermentation process and the final producťs quality parameters was investigated. Both purée and extract containing products had a pleasant taste with a vegetable note and uniform consistency. Sulforaphane content in 200 g beverage servings was (23.5 ± 2.1) mg and (29.5 ± 0.5) mg (extract), both values approximately one tenth of therapeutic dose estimates, which is enough for cancer preventive purposes.

Introduction. Modern scientific research into the biochemical composition and medicinal value of plants makes it possible to use them as functional ingredients in food technology. The research objective was to test rose root (Rhodiola rosea L.) and scullcap (Scutellaria galericulata L.) for biologically active substances and their potential use in functional dairy products. Study objects and methods. The research featured biologically active substances (BAS) obtained from rose root and scullcap that grow in mountain areas or on rock outcrops along Siberian rivers. The BAS content was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biologically active substances were screened and identified using HPLC, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and infra-red identification (IR). The new functional products were based on whey and cottage cheese made from processed whole milk. Results and discussion. The analysis of Rhodiola rosea rhizomes and roots showed the following BAS content (mg/g): rosavin – 16.9, salidroside – 14.3, rosin – 5.04, rosarin – 2.01, and methyl gallate – 6.8. The roots of Scutellaria galericulata had the following BAS content (mg/g): scutellarein – 22.27, baicalin – 34.37, baicalein – 16.30, apigenin – 18.80, chrysin – 6.50, luteolin – 5.40, and vogonin – 3.60. Whey served as a basis for a new functional whey drink fortified with BAS isolated from Rhodiola rosea 100 mL of the drink included 50 mL of whey, 20 mL of apple juice, 0.1 mL of rose root concentrate, 3 g of sugar, 0.5 g of apple pectin, 04 g of citric acid, and 30 mL of ionized water. The content of phytochemical elements ranged from 0.11 ± 0.001 to 0.49 ± 0.08 mg/100 g. Cottage cheese served as a basis for another dairy product fortified with BAS obtained from Scutellaria galericulata. The formulation included 81 g of cottage cheese, 10 mL of cherry jam, 9 g of sugar, and 0.025 mL of scullcap concentrate. The content of biologically active substances in the finished product varied from 0.09 ± 0.02 for luteolin to 0.48 ± 0.11 for baicalin. The whey drink fortified with the BAS extracted from Rhodiola rosea and the cottage cheese product fortified with the BAS isolated from Scutellaria galericulata satisfied 40–45% and 55–60% of the reference daily intake for phenolic compounds, respectively. The obtained data made it possible to recommend the new functional foods for commercial production. Conclusion. A set of experiments was performed to isolate biologically active substances from Rhodiola rosea and Scutellaria galericulata. The research developed and tested formulations of two new functional products based on whey and cottage cheese.

The work analyzes the global experience of using wines and grape-processing products to support a person’sphysical, mental, and psychological health, to slow down aging, to prevent and treat many diseases, in particular cardiovascular andoncological ones, endocrine system disorders, etc. It has been shown that a great deal of waste, including marc, is obtained whileprocessing grapes and producing wine. The fact has been pointed out that in Ukraine, the technologies of using wine-making waste infood and cosmetic industries and in medicine are being developed and introduced but slowly, though the level of viticulture is high.The importance and prospects of finding ways to process grape marc have been proved, as its valuable chemical composition allowsobtaining dietary supplements and oenotherapeutic products for spa and wellness industry. The following rational parameters havebeen suggested to extract the most valuable biologically active substances (polyphenols) from grape marc: microwave extraction;specific power of the microwave installation 1.6–1.7 kW/kg; 40% ethyl alcohol as the extractant; proportion of water(hydromodulus) 1:5; extraction temperature 60–65°C; 4 heating stages; stage interval 1.5–2 minutes; total extraction time 12–14minutes. The physico-chemical parameters of the marc extracts obtained from the grapes harvested in 2016 and 2017 have beendetermined. It has been established that, besides polyphenols, a whole complex of biologically active substances is extracted. It hasbeen shown that grape marc can be used to produce dietary fibre, pectins, and other valuable substances. The medical and biologicalproperties of the polyphenolic complex obtained from marc (the Odesky Chorny variety of grapes) have been studied on laboratoryrats to determine its antioxidant activity and the prospects of its use in treating type 2 diabetes. The protective properties of theobtained product have been proved. Such processes have been established to take place as the mobilization of the antioxidant systemof cells, the normalization of the enzyme activity of the antioxidant protection system, and a decrease in the level of markers ofoxidative modification of proteins and lipids (that are higher than normal with diabetes mellitus). It has been suggested to usepolyphenolic complex extracts in oenotherapy as a skin and face care product with protective properties.

The identification of the diversity of microscopic fungi of lithobiont communities of the Argentine Islands in specimens collected during the 22nd Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition was the purpose of this work. Samples of rock, soil, mosses and lichens of rock micro-habitats of “Crustose lichen sub-formation and fruticose lichen and moss cushion sub-formation” were used in the work. These samples were used for extracting and cultivation of filamentous fungi on dense nutrient media. Determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics and identification of yeast-like fungi were performed using a microbiological analyser ‘Vitek-2’ (‘Bio Merieux’, France). Cultivation of microorganisms was carried out at temperatures from +2 to +37 °C. In results cultures of microscopic fungi of Zygomycota (Mucor circinelloides), Ascomycota (species of the genera cf. Tlielebolus, Talaromyces), representatives of the Anamorphic fungi group (Geomyces pannorum, species of the genera Alternaria, Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium) were isolated from Antarctic samples. Microscopic fungi Penicillium spp. were dominated after the frequency in the studied samples (54.5%). Rhodotorula rubra and Candida sp. among isolated yeast fungi, and dark pigmented fungi represented by Aureobasidium pulhdans and Exophiala spp. were identified. The biological properties of a number of isolated fungi (the potential ability to synthesise important biologically active substances: melanins, carotenoids, lipids) are characterised. Mycobiota of rock communities of Argentine Islands is rich on filamentous and yeast fungi similarly to other regions of Antarctica. A number of fungi investigated are potentially able to synthesise biologically active substances. The dark pigmented species of the genera Cladosporium, Exophiala, Aureobasidium pulhdans, capable of melanin synthesis; ‘red’ yeast Rhodotorula rubra (carotenoid producers and resistant to toxic metals); Mucor circinelloides and Geomyces pannorum, lipid producers, are among these fungi. Yeast-like fungi assimilated a wide range of carbohydrates, which will allow them to be further used for cultivation in laboratory and process conditions. The collection of technologically promising strains of microorganisms, part of the Culture Collection of Fungi at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), is updated with isolated species (strains) of filamentous fungi and yeast – potential producers of biologically active substances, obtained within this study.
