Abstract Many functional food ingredients activate human bitter taste receptors (hTAS2Rs). In this study, A novel inhibitor, Trp-Trp, for hTAS2R14 was identified by searching for the agonist peptide's analogs. Trp-Trp also inhibited hTAS2R16, hTAS2R43, and hTAS2R46, which share the same agonists with hTAS2R14. The multi-functional characteristic of Trp-Trp is advantageous for use as bitterness-masking agents in functional foods.

Проведена сравнительная оценка хлебопекарных смесей (ХПС) Ливенка и Амарантус, включающих биоактивированное зерно пшеницы и ржи и биоактивированные злаковые культуры и амарантовую муку соответственно, и хлеба на их основе. Исследованы химический состав, биологическая и энергетическая ценность ХПС и выпеченных на их основе образцов зернового хлеба Ливенский и Амарантус. Установлено, что ХПС Амарантус и хлеб Амарантус отличаются несколько большим содержанием белка, кальция, лизина по сравнению с ХПС Ливенка и хлебом Ливенский. Однако по количеству пищевых волокон и витаминов ХПС с амарантовой мукой и изделия на ее основе несколько уступают образцам, приготовленным без добавки амарантовой муки. Внесение амарантовой муки в дозировке 5,5% взамен части ржаной муки незначительно повышает энергетическую и биологическую ценность ХПС и хлеба на ее основе. Установлено, что ХПС Ливенка и Амарантус относятся к функциональным пищевым ингредиентам за счет содержания значимого количества биологически активных веществ, а изделия на их основе – к функциональным пищевым продуктам. Comparative evaluation of baking mixes (BM) of Livenka and Amarantus, including bioactivated grains of wheat and rye and bioactivated cereals and amaranth flour, respectively, and bread on their basis was carried out. Chemical composition, biological and energy value of BM and baked on their basis samples of grain bread Livenskiy and Amarantus were investigated. It is established that the BM Amarantus and bread Amarantus are slightly high content of protein, calcium, lysine, compared with BM Livenka and bread Livenskiy. However, the number of dietary fibers and vitamins BM with amaranth flour and products on it based are concede to samples a little prepared without the addition of amaranth flour. The introduction of amaranth flour in a dosage of 5,5% instead of a portion of rye flour slightly increases the energy and biological value of BM and bread on it based. It was found that the BM Livenka and Amarantus are functional food ingredients due to the content of a significant amount of biologically active substances, and products on their based – to functional foods.

Functional food is a whole ingredient or a part of food that used as food for specific therapeutic purposes. It is divided into two wide categories: Conventional and modified functional foods. Conventional functional Foods are composed of natural or whole-food ingredients that provide functional substances while modified functional is food or food products in which add additional ingredients for specific health purposes. Plant-based food such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, cereals, nuts and beans contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phenolic compounds that play a functional role in the human body against chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular and GIT-related disease. Some other foods or food products like juices, dairy products, fortified eggs and seafood are composed of functional components. Fish contain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that are played a functional role in heart health and brain development.

The technologies for developing food products for people with type 2 diabetes involve enrichment with polyphenolic compounds that have hypoglycemic and/or hypolipidemic properties. The production of ingredients for introduction into such food products should involve the techniques of concentration of natural polyphenols on certain food-grade protein matrices. In this study, a technology was developed for the production of a functional food ingredient, which was a complex of polyphenols (mostly anthocyans) from cranberries with coagulated egg albumen. The optimal parameters of sorption of anthocyans from cranberry juice on the albumen during the coagulation of the latter were determined. The contents and profile of anthocyans within the resulting food ingredient were assessed. The concentration of total anthocyans (recalculated to equivalents of cyanidin-3-glucoside) was determined by pH-differential spectrophotometry; the profile of individual anthocyans was determined by highperformance liquid chromatography. Sensory evaluation of the resulting ingredient (through a taste panel test) evidenced the possibility of including the product in the functional foodstuffs. The technology developed can be used in the design of functional food ingredients for subsequent introduction into anti-diabetic food products. Keywords: coagulated egg albumen, cranberry juice, anthocyans, functional food ingredients

Abstract Background: The gut microbiota has been shown to be involved in the development and severity of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of the present study was to test the effect of 4-week functional food ingredient feeding, alone or in combination, on the gut microbiota composition in diabetic rats.Methods: Streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats were treated for 4 weeks with i) native taro starch, ii) modified taro-starch, iii) beet juice, iv) psicose, v) the probiotic L.plantarum IS-10506, vi) native starch combined with beet juice, vii) native starch to which beet juice was adsorbed, viii) modified starch combined with beet juice or ix) modified starch to which beet juice was adsorbed, to modulate the composition of the gut microbiota. This composition was evaluated by sequencing the PCR amplified V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene.Results: The next-generation sequencing showed beneficial effects particularly of taro-starch feeding. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) related to health (e.g. correlating with low BMI, OTUs producing butyrate) were increased in relative abundance, while OTUs generally correlated with disease (e.g. Proteobacteria) were decreased by feeding taro-starch.Conclusion: The results of study show that a 4-week intervention with functional food ingredients, particularly taro-derived starch, leads to a more healthy gut microbiota in rats that were induced to be diabetic by induction with STZ.

Chicken feet and neck bones flour are the products of live stock which have a high protein and mineral content. However, they have not been utilized functionally, while they have a potential as a food ingredient and functional food source. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to utilize the chicken feet and neck bones flour as functional food products and new food ingredients. Both chicken feet and neck bones flour can be mixed with other raw materials which have a potential function as food sources for energy. The addition of protein and minerals from the both chicken feet and neck bones flour are expected to be able to increase the nutritional value of a product, especially for the protein and mineral content. Thus, the product is not only as an energy source but also as a source of protein and minerals. Moreover, functional food development is not only beneficial for consumers but also as an opportunity for the food industry and government

The effects of plant polyphenols on carbohydrate and/or lipid metabolism disorders have wide experimental and clinical justification; however, their effects are limited due to low bioavailability. Thus, the development of technological approaches enhancing their effectiveness and stability is relevant.The aim of this work was to evaluatein vivothe effects of polyphenols from bilberry leaves and fruits, sorbed on the brown buckwheat flour, on C57Bl/6c mice with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders. We assessed in vivothe effect of a food matrix (FM1: bilberry leaf polyphenols sorbed on brown buckwheat flour) on C57Bl/6c mice with induced carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders. The aim of the second experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of prolonged prophylactic consumption of another food matrix (FM2: billberry fruit polyphenols, sorbed on brown buckwheat flour) by C57Bl/6c micewith induced carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders. Technological approaches were developed and pilot batches of the food matrices FM1 and FM2were obtained. According to the in vivo testing, a significant decrease in the glucose levels and normalization of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were found in animals treated with FM1. When assessing the in vivo effects of FM2, the hypoglycemic effect of bilberry fruit polyphenols in the composition of the matrix was established. The results of these studies can be used to justify the testing of the developed matrices in a clinical setting and using them as functional food ingredients for preventative nutrition in cases of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Keywords: polyphenols, food matrix, functional food ingredient, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism

AbstrakSpirulina sp. merupakan mikro organisme mikro alga yang memiliki kandungan nutrisi lengkap, sehingga Spirulina sp. memiliki potensi yang besar untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pangan fungsional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kepadatan atau kelimpahan, berat basah dan berat kering dari Spirulina sp. dalam media pupuk hasil campuran pupuk urea, pupuk zwavelzure amoniak (ZA), dan pupuk triple super phosphate (TSP) dengan membandingkan pada pupuk kontrol dengan standar pada media conwy sebagai langkah alternatif dalam meminimalkan biaya kulturisasi Spirulina sp. sebagai bahan pangan fungsional dalam skala laboratoris. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kepadatan spirulina sp. mengalami fase lambat (lagfase) dengan kenaikkan populasi rata-rata 781,5 unit/ml pada hari pertama sampai hari ketiga. Fase percepatan (eksponensial fase) dengan kenaikkan populasi rata-rata 3576,5 unit/ml pada hari keempat sampai hari kelima. Fase perlambatan dengan kenaikkan populasi rata-rata 595,25 unit/ml pada hari keenam sampai hari ketujuh. Dan fluktuatif pada hari kedelapan sampai hari kesembilan, sedangkan berat basah dan berat kering dari Spirulina sp. di hari ketiga sampai dengan hari kelima mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan, sedangkan berat basah dan berat kering di hari-hari berikutnya mengalami fluktuatif peningkatan dan penurunan.Adanya penurunan pertumbuhan dan biomassa dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, diantarannya, berkurangnya nutrien dalam media, berkurangnya intensitas cahaya karena penanguan sendiri, kompetisi yang semakin besar dalam mendapatkan nutrient, ruang hidup dan cahaya.Makanan fungsional yang mengandung protein tinggi salah satunnya adalah yang terbuat dari microalgae Spirulina sp. microalgae ini tidak hanya bertindak sebagai sumber protein tunggal, tetapi juga sumber karotenoid, klorofil, serta sumber mikronutrien.AbstractSpirulina sp. is a microalgae microorganism that has complete nutritional contents, Spirulina sp. has a great potential to be used as a functional food ingredient. This study aimed to determine the density or abundance, wet and dry weight of Spirulina sp. in fertilizer ingredients resulting from a mixture of urea fertilizer, zwavelzure ammonia (ZA) fertilizer, and triple superphosphate fertilizer (TSP) by comparing the control fertilizers with standards on conwey media an alternative step in minimizing the cost of culturing Spirulina sp. as a functional food ingredient in a laboratory scale. Based on the results of the study, the density of Spirulina sp. experienced a lag phase with an average population increase of 781.5 units/ml on the first day until the third day. Acceleration phase (exponential phase) with an average population increased of 3576.5 units/ml on the fourth day until the fifth day. The deceleration phase with an average population increased of 595.25 units/ml on the sixth day until the seventh day. And fluctuating on the eighth day to the ninth day, while the wet weight and dry weight of Spirulina sp. on the third day until the fifth day experienced a significant increase, while the wet weight and dry weight in the following days experienced a fluctuating increase and decrease. The decrease in growth and biomass could be caused by several factors, i.e., reduction of nutrient ingredients, reduced light intensity due to self-drying, greater competition in obtaining nutrients, living space and light. Functional foods that contained high protein one of them are those made from microalgae Spirulina sp. This microalga did not only act as a single protein source, but also a source of carotenoids, chlorophyll, and micronutrient sources
