Confectionery - food products, usually with a high sugar content, characterized by high calorie content and digestibility. They are divided into groups: sugar, flour confectionery, chocolate, cocoa. The following types of products are used as the main raw materials for the preparation of confectionery products: flour (wheat, rye, corn, rice, oatmeal, etc.), sugar, honey, fruits and berries, milk and cream, fats, eggs, yeast, starch, cocoa, nuts, food acids, gelling agents, flavoring and aromatic additives, food dyes and baking powder. The high content of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well as polyunsaturatedfatty acids and some vitamins determines the significant value of confectionery products. The influence of shelf life on biscuit semi-finished products prepared according to the classical recipe using pomace powder and concentrated juice of black currant and blueberry berries is shown. Methods used in the experimental part: measurement of the total phenolic content using the Folin-Chekelau reagent, the total content of flavonoids and anthocyanins, the level of free radical capture DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl), the total antioxidant activity by the FRAP method and the antioxidant activity in the linoleic acid system. It was found that the content of phenolic substances, flavonoids, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity is greatly influenced by high humidity and a constant light source. These indicators are significantly reduced, but when stored in a vacuum, this decrease in indicators can be slowed down.

Eight selected wild vegetables from Nepal (Alternanthera sessilis, Basella alba, Cassia tora, Digera muricata, Ipomoea aquatica, Leucas cephalotes, Portulaca oleracea and Solanum nigrum) were investigated for their antioxidative potential using 2,2-dyphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ferric thiocyanate (FTC) methods. Among the selected plant extracts C. tora displayed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value 9.898 μg/mL, whereas A. sessilis had the maximum H2O2 scavenging activity with an IC50 value 16.25 μg/mL—very close to that of ascorbic acid (16.26 μg/mL). C. tora showed the highest absorbance in the FRAP assay and the lowest lipid peroxidation in the FTC assay. A methanol extract of A. sessilis resulted in the greatest phenolic content (292.65 ± 0.42 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g) measured by the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent method, while the smallest content was recorded for B. alba (72.66 ± 0.46 GAE/g). The greatest flavonoid content was observed with extracts of P. oleracea (39.38 ± 0.57 mg quercetin equivalents (QE)/g) as measured by an aluminium chloride colorimetric method, while the least was recorded for I. aquatica (6.61 ± 0.42 QE/g). There was a strong correlation between antioxidant activity with total phenolic (DPPH, R2 = 0.75; H2O2, R2 = 0.71) and total flavonoid content (DPPH, R2 = 0.84; H2O2, R2 = 0.66). This study demonstrates that these wild edible leafy plants could be a potential source of natural antioxidants.
