Abstract Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the prevalence of gluten intolerance. Since wheat protein is widely used in the food industry, in particular in the meat industry, consumers prone to gluten intolerance should be aware of its presence in food products through the information on the label. Often, however, unintentional contamination of gluten-free products occurs. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence and level of gluten contamination of meat products and gluten-free flour used for the production of Russian-made meat products, which do not contain ingredients containing gluten. To determine gluten, PCR and ELISA methods were used. In four of the nine tested samples, gluten was found at a level exceeding 20 mg/kg.

Introduction. Diet therapy is one of the main approaches to the treatment of various diseases of the digestive system. A strict lifetime diet is the main method of treatment for gluten intolerance. However, young patients, who are particularly sensitive to dietary restrictions, often fail to follow the diet due to the limited menu of recommended foods and dishes. The diet for children with gluten intolerance should include a sufficient amount of gluten-free grain-based products. They provide children with carbohydrates, dietary fibers, vegetable proteins, fats, B vitamins, and minerals, e.g. potassium, magnesium, selenium, etc. In this regard, it is urgent to develop new types of specialized gluten-free products to expand the diet both in terms of nutritional value and taste diversity. Study objects and methods. The research is part of a project on the development of dry gluten-free mixes based on buckwheat and amaranth with fruit, vegetable, and berry raw materials. The new formulations are intended for children older than three years of age with gluten intolerance. The research objective was to study the main nutrients in amaranth and buckwheat flours. The study involved the method of infrared spectroscopy using a SpectraStar 2500 analyzer. The data obtained made it possible to calculate the nutritional and energy value of products based on amaranth and buckwheat flours, as well as fruit, vegetable, and berry powders intended for children older than three years of age with gluten intolerance. Results and discussion. Amaranth flour proved to be rich in protein (13.4%), lipids (5.1%), and ash (2.8%). Native buckwheat flour contained 7.5% of protein, 3.6% of lipids, and 1.4% of ash. The carbohydrate content appeared approximately the same in both samples (56–58%). The dry gluten-free mixes can serve as an important source of vegetable protein (up to 9.44 g per 100 g of the finished product), carbohydrates (up to 40.08 g per 100 g of the finished product, and energy (from 158.12 to 221.85 kcal per 100 g of the finished product). Conclusion. The high nutritional and biological value of amaranth and buckwheat flours, as well as fruit, vegetable, and berry powders, confirmed the prospect of using them as the main components for functional foods. Amaranth and buckwheat contain no gluten but are rich in protein, amino acids, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, and biologically active elements, which makes them an important source of nutrition for children with gluten intolerance.

Introduction. For patients with gluten intolerance, diet therapy is the main method of treatment. However, gluten-free diets are found lacking in many important components. Children that fail to consume neccessary nutrients or have problems with their absorption tend to be physically retarded. Gluten-free diet may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases, especially type I diabetes. Therefore, products for children with celiac diseases should be both gluten-free and have adequate bioavailability of carbohydrates. This article features the chemical composition of amaranth, the geometric structure of starch grains, and its effect on the formation of colloidal solutions. It also compares the glycemic index (GI) of amaranth with other gluten-free grains, i.e. rice, buckwheat, and corn. Study objects and methods. The research featured native amaranth grain (Amaranthus cruentus) (Mexico), puffed amaranth kernels (Mexico), and coarse granular amaranth flour (Mexico). Results and discussion. Amaranth grain contains 12.5–23% of protein, 50.7–77.0% of carbohydrates, 6.0–8.0% of lipids, 10.5–18.3% of dietary fiber, and 2.5–3.5% of minerals. The GI of amaranth and its products were compared with similar values of other glutenfree crops, namely rice, buckwheat, and corn. Amaranth grain and its products demonstrated a higher GI, if compared with other gluten-free grain raw materials. The GI of amaranth grain was 87, the GI of the puffed amaranth kernels was 101, and the GI of the coarse granular amaranth flour was 97. Amaranth starch is easy to digest, which is mainly due to the high content of amylopectin (88 to 98%), since amylopectin breaks down faster than amylose. The relatively small size of starch granules (1.5–3.0 microns) increases the attack capacity of enzymes. These properties make amaranth starch glycemic, or low-resistant, which means that amaranth is easily digested and possesses stability to retrogradation. Conclusion. The unique nutritional and functional properties of amaranth gluten-free products can significantly improve the diet of children with gluten intolerance. However, amaranth starch and its products have a high GI. Hence, it is necessary to control the percentage of these components in formulations and be careful with the selection of additional components and their impact on the total GI.

The diet of children with gluten intolerance should include a sufficient amount of gluten-free grain-based products that provide children with carbohydrates, including dietary fiber, vegetable proteins, fats, B vitamins, and mineral matters. This study is aimed at studying the content of the main food substances (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as the total content of mineral matters, expressed by the parameter – ash content) in amaranth flour and flour from native buckwheat. Studies have shown that amaranth flour has a high protein content-13.4%, lipids-5.1%, and ash content - 2.8%. Flour from native buckwheat contains protein-7.5%, lipids-3.6%, the ash content of buckwheat flour was 1.4%. The carbohydrate content of both samples is approximately at the same level of 56-58%. Specialized products made from amaranth and buckwheat can become a source of deficient macro-and microelements, high-grade protein and other biologically valuable compounds.

Potential Use

Pseudocereals and cereals are plant materials that have similar final uses as flours for bakery products. However, these plants are different botanically, as pseudocereals they are broadleaf plants, whereas as cereals they are grasses. The use of pseudocereals is of great nutritional interest because of their composition. Besides the high starch content, pseudocereals contain dietary fibre, good quality protein, vitamins, minerals, lipids rich in unsaturated fatty acids and other phytochemicals such as saponins, phytosterols, squalene, fagopyritols and polyphenols. This composition describes their potential as supplements or common cereal replacers. Because their content of gluten is low or there is no content of gluten, pseudocereals can be considered as gluten-free products, which can be incorporated in diets for coeliac disease. The incorporation of these seeds in the diets of coeliac patients should help alleviate the deficit in fibre intake. Their applicability in foods includes bread, biscuits, cakes and pasta which are mostly consumed. The three main species referring to pseudocereals are amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat. The aim of this study is to provide their applications in food products.

Haccp System

The food allergy and allergen control are important for global health concerns. Latent allergens are a paramount problem in the specialized food products. Cross-contact and post-cleaning contamination are the main sources of these problems. According to the norms of the Technical Regulation Custom Union N 027/2012 and the Codex Stan 118-79 standard, the gluten content in food products should not exceed 20 mg / kg of the product. The purpose of this study was to analyze raw materials for the gluten-free food products manufacture to justify the HACCP system implementation. The samples of gluten-free flours were selected as research objects to assess the cleanliness of storage, transportation and production facilities in factories producing gluten-free products. In this study, we analyzed the samples of gluten-free flours to assess the cleanliness of storage conditions, transportation and industrial premises in gluten-free factories. The results showed that when using raw materials stored under improper conditions an increase in the gluten content in the final product is observed. We concluded that the gluten-free flours storage conditions in a room with gluten-containing raw materials are unacceptable, because the final product will have high gluten content. Thus, this product cannot be marketed as gluten-free. In addition, we analyzed the washes from the equipment after baking cookies from these flours. We found that in order to comply with regulations, it was necessary to conduct 3 consecutive washing

Nutritional Benefits

SummaryCereals and legumes offer many nutritional benefits, and should therefore be consumed widely. In particular, legume consumption is very low in northern countries. Although many species of cereals, pseudocereals and legumes are available for human nutrition, today only a limited range of them is used in larger amounts. Wheat, rice and maize are dominating the cereal sector and beans, chickpeas and peas are the most produced legumes. Specialty cereals (e.g., colored varieties), pseudocereals (amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat) and legumes show great potential for the development of new food products due to their good nutritional composition and different functional properties.

Food authorities have not yet provided a definition for the term “clean label”. However, food producers and consumers frequently use this terminology for food products with few and recognisable ingredients. The meat industry faces important challenges in the development of clean-label meat products, as these contain an important number of functional additives. Nitrites are an essential additive that acts as an antimicrobial and antioxidant in several meat products, making it difficult to find a clean-label alternative with all functionalities. Another important additive not complying with the clean-label requirements are phosphates. Phosphates are essential for the correct development of texture and sensory properties in several meat products. In this review, we address the potential clean-label alternatives to the most common additives in meat products, including antimicrobials, antioxidants, texturisers and colours. Some novel technologies applied for the development of clean label meat products are also covered.

Currently, the problem of pollution due to plastic waste is a major one. The food industry, and especially that of meat and meat products, is intensely polluting, both due to the raw materials used and also to the packaging materials. The aim of the present study was to develop, test, and characterize the biopolymeric materials with applications in the meat industry. To obtain natural materials which are completely edible and biodegradable, different compositions of agar, sodium alginate, water and glycerol were used, thus obtaining 15 films. The films were tested to identify physical properties such as smell, taste, film uniformity and regularity of edges, microstructure, color, transmittance, and opacity. These determinations were supplemented by the evaluation of mechanical properties and solubility. According to the results obtained and the statistical interpretations, three films with the best results were used for packing the slices of dried raw salami. The salami was tested periodically for three months of maintenance in refrigeration conditions, and the results indicate the possibility of substituting conventional materials with the biopolymer ones obtained in the study.

Stage Of Development

One of the main tasks of the domestic meat industry at the present stage of development is to ensure safety for the consumer of produced meat products. It is known that in meat raw materials and products made from it, especially in violation of the technological regimes and sanitary and hygienic conditions of production, it is possible to identify microorganisms dangerous for humans — Listeria. In this regard, in the zone of European economic cooperation, as well as other developed countries (USA, Canada, Japan), the requirements for the control of pathogenic listeria in meat and meat products, the consumption of which can cause human disease, are strictly regulated. The study of food for the presence of the causative agent of listeriosis is mandatory. The problem of food listeriosis is also of significant socioeconomic importance due to the damage caused by the removal of contaminated products, the restriction of exports and imports, and the cessation of production. Laboratory studies are the basis for the prevention of foodborne diseases at all stages of the production of the food industry, which lead to health and safety of the population and the spread of microbiological infections. Taking into account the above, it was necessary to consider the existing developments in the technology of modern nutrient media to identify Listeria.
