The article presents the function of platelets in inflammation as well as in bacterial and viral infections, which are the result of their reaction with the endovascular environment, including cells of damaged vascular endothelium and cells of the immune system. This role of platelets is conditioned by biologically active substances present in their granules and in their specific structures – EV (extracellular vesicles).

Active Substances

Technologies of healthfull products - bioyogurts with unique characteristics have been developed. The new products are characterized by a high content of naturally occurring biologically active substances - phytocomponents of fruits and vegetables (carrots, lemons with zest, apples, Jerusalem artichoke), in particular, β-carotene, phenolic compounds, tannins, ascorbic acid, ie substances having antioxidants. Besides, they have a high content of prebiotic substances - soluble pectic substances, cellulose, inulin and proteins. Recent biogurts play the role of natural thickeners and structure-forming agents. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for the use in the production of bio yoghurt food additives and synthetic additives. Technologies for making bio yoghurts are based on the use of nanosized cryo-additives from nanosize with the record content of biologically active substances (BAS), whose mass fraction in cryo-additives is 2.5 - 5.0 times greater than the original fresh cheese. Obtaining the latter is based on the complex action on the raw materials of cryogenic "shock" freezing with the use of liquid and gaseous nitrogen and cryodestruction with fine grinding. When making bioyoghurts, cryoadditives act as natural enrichment agents, structure-forming agents, texture stabilizers and dyes. In addition, phytoextracts from natural spices and medicinal herbs (echinacea, coriander, burkun, oregano) are included in the formulations for the enrichment of the BAS and for longer shelf life of new bio yoghurts. Whey was used as the basis for the production of bio yoghurts. New types of bio yoghurts in terms of the content of BAS exceed the known analogues and have 2 times longer shelf life (than control samples). Technological modes of production of bioyoghurts on bench semi-industrial equipment have been worked out. New yoghurts are recommended for introduction into production at large food enterprises, in establishments of restaurant business, for individual food.

Poultry Farming

In the book in the form of questions and answers considerable attention is paid to data on the needs of all types of poultry in nutritional, mineral and biologically active substances, taking into account age of poultry. The characteristic of the main feed products is given, and the rational norms for including them in mixed feed for poultry are indicated. The role of vitamins, macro- and microelements, enzyme preparations, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, organic acids, antioxidants, emulsifiers and other sources of biologically active substances in poultry nutrition is shown. Both nutritional factors that reduce the immune system and the causes of major feed diseases, which are related to the quality of feed, with violations in the rationing of nutrients and minerals, are indicated, and also biologically active substances, technologies for feeding and keeping poultry, methods of their prevention are given. It is addressed to specialists and managers of poultry farms, feed industry enterprises, researchers, postgraduates and students.

The book covers the basic principles of nutrient rationing for poultry. The data on the needs of all types of poultry, taking into account age, in nutrients, minerals and biologically active substances are given. The characteristic of the main feed means and rational norms of their inclusion in the compound feed for poultry are given. Modern data on the role of vitamins, macro- and microelements, enzyme preparations, probiotics, prebiotics, phytobiotics, organic acids, antioxidants, fat emulsifiers and other sources of biologically active substances in poultry nutrition are presented. Attention is paid to the main technological parameters of poultry keeping. The nutritional factors that reduce immunity, as well as the causes of the main diseases associated with the quality of feed, with violations in the rationing of nutrient, mineral and biologically active substances, the technology of feeding and keeping poultry, are described, methods of their prevention are given. Criteria for the adequacy of nutrition and maintenance of a bird to its genetic potential are stated. The book is intended for specialists and managers of poultry farms, enterprises of the feed industry, researchers, graduate students and students.

Active Hydrogen Atom

The characteristic chemical fragments named as functional reactive groups (or descriptors) in the molecules of biologically active substances (BASs) are described. These fragments are characterized by the presence of an active hydrogen atom or unsaturated function. It is concluded that BASs are essential factors working in concert with gene keys and gene locks to starts transcription. The gene keys are nucleic acids but not proteins. It is postulated that cell membrane can serve as depot for gene keys at the beginning of oxidative stress. During the recession phase of oxidative stress new gene keys are synthesized for new transcription acts. Keywords: BASs, descriptors, gene keys, gene locks, transcription.

Active Substances

Fungi contain a number of biologically active substances whose importance for human health has been confirmed in several studies. In particular, β-glucans, selenium, vitamin D, C and E should be mentioned. These substances play an important role in shaping the immune system and prevent cancer. β-Glucans reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower the cholesterol level.
