Abstract: Germination is an environmentally friendly and convenient approach to enhancing the biochemical potential of food plant raw materials. The nutritional value of raw materials and the functional properties of protein contained therein can be significantly improved by activatying the inherent enzyme system. Bioactivation not only increases the amount of water-soluble protein fractions, but also promotes accumulation of free amino and fatty acids and easily soluble reducing sugars. We used flax seeds as a source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibres, complete protein, polypeptides and lignans to support the most important physiological functions of the human body. The aim was to study the dynamics of macronutrients in the process of short-term germination of flax seeds by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Flax seeds were germinated in laboratory conditions in special trays at a temperature of 18–20 ºС for 5 days with periodic moistening. Visual changes occurring in flax seeds at all stages of short-term germination are demonstrated. The periodicity of changes in the main macronutrients of flax seeds is shown. It is concluded that, during the studied period of germination, the principal hydrolytic decomposition of seed storage proteins was incomplete, leading to a permanent decrease, first of all, in the content of proteins and protein nitrogen. Based on the changes in the lipid content and acid number, the intensity of the peaks associated with functional groups in the lipid region, in particular, the band at 1748 cm-1 assigned to stretching vibrations of C=Ogroups of fatty acids, no degradation of storage lipids at an early stage of germination was assumed. The accumulation of soluble substances during the studied germination period is demonstrated, including watersoluble protein compounds, as well as water-soluble polysaccharides and products of their hydrolytic degradation. Sprouted flax seeds are a valuable ingredient for producing healthy foods.

Введение в ежедневный рацион продуктов, обогащенных эссенциальными нутриентами, является актуальной задачей стратегии здорового питания. В этой связи особое место занимают продукты переработки зерна, как основы пирамиды здорового питания. Среди наиболее востребованных незаменимых нутриентов следует выделить полиненасыщенные жирные кислоты, и особенно жирные кислоты семейства ɷ-3. Главным источником линоленовой кислоты из растительного сырья является льняное масло, которое может быть введено в виде тонкоизмельченных семян льна в состав хлебопекарной муки. Химический состав продуктов питания на зерновой основе, полученных с использованием традиционной технологии, характеризуется недостаточной сбалансированностью, невысокой пищевой и биологической ценностью. В связи с этим с целью расширения ассортимента зерновых продуктов функциональной направленности общего, диетического и профилактического назначения на основе полизерновых смесей разработаны методология управления мукомольными свойствами зернового сырья при его переработке для получения продуктов питания на зерновой основе заданного состава и свойств; показана возможность совместного размола пшенично-льняной смеси с получением муки, обогащенной незаменимыми жирными кислотами (НЖК) - омега-3 (линоленовая кислота) и омега-6 (линолевая кислота); сформированы новые виды муки, обогащенные незаменимыми жирными кислотами; определены некоторые физико-химические характеристики пшеничной муки, обогащенной НЖК; выявлены особенности хлебопекарных свойств пшенично-льняной муки. На основании динамики изменения показателя кислотного числа жира (КЧЖ) спрогнозирован срок безопасного хранения пшенично-льняной муки, который составил 9,4 месяца. The introduction of foods fortified with essential nutrients into the daily diet is an urgent task of a healthy eating strategy. In this regard, grain processing products occupy a special place, as the basis of the pyramid of healthy nutrition. Among the most demanded essential nutrients are polyunsaturated fatty acids and especially fatty acids of the ɷ-3 family. The main source of linolenic acid from plant raw materials is linseed oil, which can be added in the form of finely ground flax seeds to baking flour. The chemical composition of grain-based food products obtained using traditional technology is characterized by insufficient balance, low nutritional and biological value. In this regard, in order to expand the range of functional grain products for general, dietary and prophylactic purposes on the basis of polygrain mixtures, the following have been developed: a methodology for controlling the milling properties of grain raw materials during its processing to obtain food products based on a grain basis of a given composition and properties; the possibility of joint grinding of a wheat-flax mixture to obtain flour enriched with essential fatty acids (EFA) - omega-3 (linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid) is shown; formed new types of flour, enriched with essential fatty acids; some physicochemical characteristics of wheat flour enriched with EFA have been determined; the features of the baking properties of wheat-flax flour are revealed. Based on the dynamics of changes in the acid number of fat (FAT), the period of safe storage of wheat-flaxseed flour was predicted, which was 9.4 months.

The goal of this study was to establish the nutritional value and compositional properties of the brains of crossbred pigs (Landrace–Large white–Duroc (LLD)), in order to realize the zero-waste concept and increase the use of by-products in the sustainable meat industry. Fat (9.25% fresh weight (fw)) and protein (7.25% fw) were the principal dry matters of pig brain, followed by carbohydrate and ash. Phospholipid and cholesterol had a 3:1 ratio. Pig brain had a red tone (L* = 63.88, a* = 5.60, and b* = 15.43) and a high iron content (66 mg/kg) due to a total heme protein concentration of 1.31 g/100 g fw. The most prevalent macro-element was phosphorus (14 g/kg), followed by potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Zinc, copper, and manganese were among the other trace elements discovered. The most prevalent nitrogenous constituents were alkali-soluble protein, followed by water-soluble protein, stromal protein, salt-soluble protein, and non-protein nitrogen. Essential amino acids were abundant in pig brain (44% of total amino acids), particularly leucine (28.57 mg/g protein), threonine, valine, and lysine. The total lipid, neutral, and polar lipid fractions of the pig brain had different fatty acid compositions. The largest amount was observed in saturated fatty acids (SFA), followed by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Stearic acid and palmitic acid were the most common SFA. Oleic acid was the most prevalent MUFA, while docosahexaenoic acid was the most common PUFA. Thus, the pig brain can be used in food formulations as a source of nutrients.

The possibility of using a plant supplement is considered in materials of the article, namely, the seed meal of flax in the recipe for meat semi-finished products “Mazurki-Volynsky” to enrich these products with physiological-functional ingredients. Flax seeds is a valuable source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is rich in protein substances, balanced by the amino acid, contains insoluble and water-soluble edible fibers and phenolic compounds, in particular lignans, which have antioxidant properties. In this work, a flax seeds (FS) was obtained by using the method of “cold pressing” produced by NV “Zhytomyrbioprodukt” LLC. Fatty acid composition of lipids was determined according to GOST 30418-96. The method is based on the conversion of triglycerides of fatty acid to methyl (ethyl) esters of fatty acids and on their gas chromatic analysis. The purpose of our research was to determine from the technological point of view the expediency of introducing the flax seeds into the recipes of meat semi-finished products to enrich their health-improving ingredients. For this purpose, in studies, a complete replacement of wheat flour and a partial replacement of fat material by the use of flax seed is proposed. Thus, compared to the control, the amount of meat raw material does not change, and the change occurs only at the expense of the filler of meal. The article presents a comparative estimation of the chemical composition of the flax seeds and wheat flour, the effect of flax on the change of the lipid composition of meat semi-finished products in case of its inclusion in the recipe of products. The fatty acid composition of sorbitol lipids was investigated in comparison with the fatty acid composition of the wheat flour I flavors. It is noted that the inclusion into the recipe of meat semi-finished flax seed meal in the case of replacing wheat flour and part of the fat, enriches them with such physiological-functional ingredients as proteins with a complete amino acid composition, polyunsaturated fatty acids, edible fibers, a significant part of which are water-soluble, vitamins, micro- and macro elements, lignans. The calculation method found that the amount of protein in the experimental sample, as compared with the sample, which included wheat flour, increased by 3.69% due to the increase of protein contained in FS. Adding FS changes the qualitative composition of the lipid in exploratory samples. The calculation method found that the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increased by 12% compared with control. It should be noted that the ability of these fatty acids to oxidation, with the formation of peroxides, will affect the structural and mechanical properties of semi-finished products, which should affect the process of preparation and quality of finished products. This requires further research.

Relevance. The growing demand for flax seeds as a biologically active food component is explained by the rising interest to the healthy lifestyle. In this regard, the requirements for food safety of biologically active raw materials are increasing. Heat treatment of plant materials is an effective method for the eliminating of factors that reduce nutritional and biological value food components. Thermal treatment of flax seeds with infra-red irradiation (IR) is a promising direction for the stabilizing of seeds component composition. Short-term high-temperature treatment of raw materials under the influence of IR (micronization) increases the microbiological purity of raw materials. However, there is not enough information about how the biological value parameters changing. The aim of this study was to study the effect of the micronization process on the biological value of flax seeds.Results. Total protein content of tested flax seeds did not changed after applying of IR treatment. The increase in the content of crude oil in micronized flax seeds is explained by the conversion of phospholipids into extractable lipids. A comparative analysis of the protein complex of flax seeds before and after micronization showed a change in the ratio of protein fractions: the content of the water-soluble fraction (albumin) decreased in four-times, the content of glutens, an alkali-soluble fraction, increased significantly, the content of globulins slightly increased. Around 20% of proteins passed into an insoluble residue. The adequacy of the final results of the low temperature cold-pressing and the short-term high-temperature treatment with IR radiation in the ratio of protein fractions in flax seeds was shown. Changes in the ratio of protein fractions occurring during these technological operations are similar. It was concluded that under the influence of shortterm high-temperature IR-treatment the soft denaturation of the proteins is occurred. That effect of micronization on flax seed increases the protein digestibility

Soybean is one of the important economic crops, which supplies a great deal of vegetable oil and proteins for human. The content of nutrients in different soybean seeds is different, which is related to the expression of multiple genes, but the mechanisms are complicated and still largely uncertain. In this study, to reveal the possible causes of the nutrients difference in soybeans A7 (containing low oil and high protein) and A35 (containing high oil and low protein), RNA-seq technology was performed to compare and identify the potential differential expressed genes (DEGs) at different seed developmental stages. The results showed that DEGs mainly presented at the early stages of seeds development and more DEGs were up-regulated at the early stage than the late stages. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the DEGs have diverged in A7 and A35. In A7, the DEGs were mainly involved in cell cycle and stresses, while in A35 were the fatty acids and sugar metabolism. Specifically, when the DEGs contributing to oil and protein metabolic pathways were analyzed, the differences between A7 and A35 mainly presented in fatty acids metabolism and seeds storage proteins (SSPs) synthesis. Furthermore, the enzymes, fatty acid dehydrogenase 2, 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase and 9S-lipoxygenase, in the synthesis and elongation pathways of fatty acids, were revealed probably to be involved in the oil content difference between A7 and A35, the SSPs content might be due to the transcription factors: Leafy Cotyledon 2 and Abscisic acid-intensitive 3, while the sugar transporter, SWEET10a, might contribute to both oil and protein content differences. Finally, six DEGs were selected to analyze their expression using qRT-PCR, and the results were consistent with the RNA-seq results. Generally, the study provided a comprehensive and dynamic expression trends for the seed development processes, and uncovered the potential DEGs for the differences of oil in A7 and A35.

Constipation is a common condition that occurs in many people worldwide. While magnesium oxide (MgO) is often used as the first-line drug for chronic constipation in Japan, dietary fiber intake is also recommended. Dietary fiber is fermented by microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are involved in regulating systemic physiological functions and circadian rhythm. We examined the effect of combining MgO and the water-soluble dietary fiber, inulin, on cecal SCFA concentration and microbiota in mice. We also examined the MgO administration timing effect on cecal SCFAs. The cecal SCFA concentrations were measured by gas chromatography, and the microbiota was determined using next-generation sequencing. Inulin intake decreased cecal pH and increased cecal SCFA concentrations while combining MgO increased the cecal pH lowered by inulin and decreased the cecal SCFA concentrations elevated by inulin. When inulin and MgO were combined, significant changes in the microbiota composition were observed compared with inulin alone. The MgO effect on the cecal acetic acid concentration was less when administered at ZT12 than at ZT0. In conclusion, this study suggests that MgO affects cecal SCFA and microbiota during inulin feeding, and the effect on acetic acid concentration is time-dependent.

The objective of this study was to evaluate short-term variations of trans fatty acids (TFA) in plasma lipoproteins and ruminal fermentation parameters of non-lactating cows subjected to ruminal pulses of vegetable oils. Three non-lactating, non-pregnant Holstein cows, each with a ruminal cannula, were arranged in a 3 × 3 Latin square design with three-day pulsing periods and four-day washout intervals between treatments. Cows were treated with single ruminal pulses of: (1) control (skimmed milk (SM); 500 mL); (2) soybean oil (SO; 250 g/d in 500 mL of SM) and (3) partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil (PHVO; 250 g/d in 500 mL of SM). Time changes after infusion in TFA contents were only observed for plasma C18:1 trans-4, trans-5 and trans-12, and high-density lipoprotein fraction C18:1 trans-9. After ruminal pulses, concentration of acetate decreased linearly; molar concentrations of propionate and valerate increased linearly; molar concentrations of butyrate and isovalerate changed quadratically and were greater at 1 h than at other times. There was an accumulation of several C18:1 TFA in plasma and lipoproteins, especially on the third day of pulsing. Overall, naturally occurring C18:1 TFA isomers (produced during ruminal biohydrogenation of SO) and preformed TFA (supplied by PHVO) elicited differential TFA partitioning and transport in plasma and lipoproteins.
