The Development of a Special Purpose Drink Based on Nut Raw Materials

To support health, efficiency and active longevity, a person needs to provide the body with the micronutrients necessary for metabolic processes. They must consume food in quantities that correspond to the physiological needs of the individual. Analyses of consumer demand have found that the human diet throughout life often includes dairy products.However, whole milk is often poorly tolerated by both the elderly and people with lactose intolerance (hypolactasia).This article examined the selection of alternative energy sources, focusing on the example of a drink that uses plant raw materials.Thus, the recipe of a new fermented drink based on nut raw materials was developed. The optimization of the hydromodule for the drink preparation from peanuts and hazelnuts, according to the content of the main food components and organoleptic quality indicators, was carried out. The chemical composition of the developed drink was established, a portion of which met 20% of the daily recommended value of vitamin B1, 16.8% of the daily value of niacin, and 15% and 19% of the daily value of iron and magnesium, respectively. The possibility of producing a fermented drink with nut raw materials as a complete replacement of cow’s milk was therefore shown to be justified.

Spicy Plant Raw Materials in Choux Dough

Introduction. Semi-finished choux dough has neither vitamins nor minerals. However, its nutritional value can be increased by adding vegetable raw materials. The research objective was to evaluate the possibilities of using spicy vegetable raw materials in the formulation of semi-finished choux dough. Study objects and methods. The study featured fresh parsley (Petroselinum crispum), basil (Ocimum), celery (Apium) leaves and stems, and IR-dried powder of celery stalks. Standard research methods were used to determine the sensory, physico-chemical, and nutritional properties of the resulting choux samples. Results and discussion. Classical semi-finished choux dough with craquelin served as control sample. Fresh spicy vegetable raw materials degraded the sensory characteristics of the product. However, powdered celery stalks did not interfere with the taste of the choux dough. They were added in the amount of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% by weight of wheat flour. The celery powder gave the dough a sour-spicy flavor, as well as increased the content of vitamins B (up to 10%) and beta-carotene (up to 70%) in the finished product. Conclusion. The sample with 5% of IR-dried celery powder proved optimal for choux dough. It increased the content of vitamin B2 and beta-carotene, thus improving the nutritional value of the semi-finished product. In future, the powder can be tested as part of bakery filling in combination with ingredients that mask the typical celery taste.

The production of functional beverages is currently of urgent importance, while the most promising are drinks prepared on the basis of natural juices with the addition of ingredients extracted from vegetable raw materials, including fruit and berry. In addition to organic acids, amino acids, vitamins, pectin substances, polyphenols and natural carbohydrates, these drinks are also saturated with scarce micronutrients that have a positive effect on the state of the human body. The article presents the results of research on the development of recipes and technology for the production of high-quality functional beverages based on direct-pressed grape juice, which have improved consumer properties due to the inclusion of extracts of fruit and berry raw materials - feijoa, blackberry and black currant in their composition. The evaluation of quality and safety indicators of the developed beverages and procedural and technological scheme of their production is given. The work was carried out on the basis of the educational and scientific laboratory of winemaking technology and food products from vegetable raw materials of the Stavropol State Agrarian University. To determine physicochemical parameters and nutritional value of raw materials, intermediates and prepared functional beverages, modern generally accepted research methods were used in accordance with the current GOST. The development of technology for the production of beverages based on grape juice using fruit and berry extracts is a particularly important and urgent task due to the presence of a diverse and affordable raw material base in the South of Russia, as well as a high concentration of fruit processing plants accomplished by modern high-performance equipment in this region. The results obtained by us can contribute to the purposeful use of the developed beverages in sanatorium treatment of the population to solve the problem of optimizing the nutrition and improving the nutritional status of the population of Russia.

Determination of color formation of multicomponent fruit and vegetable pastes and dried powder fractions during low temperature treatment

The aim of the work is to determine the color formation of multicomponent fruit and vegetable pastes and dried powder fractions at the stages of low-temperature pre-concentration and drying, as one of the factors, maintaining the quality of the products. In the production of organic plant semi-finished products an important factor is the implementation of high-quality technological operations, including heat and mass transfer, which affects the final organoleptic characteristics of products. It is important to take into account the color of raw materials at the stages of blending puree in the production of paste and powder semi-finished products, which requires the introduction of a unified method for assessing the color of raw materials at each stage of the technological operation. An analysis of traditional methods for determining color formation has been performed, as a result of which it has been found, that the most effective method of evaluation is digital, based on photo processing of the prototype. According to this method, the evaluation of color formation in the manufacture of semi-finished fruits and vegetables in accordance with the proposed recipes has been conducted. Color indices of multicomponent pastes and dried fractions based on them for three prototypes were obtained. The brightness of all samples of pastes is in the range - 36.4… 37.0 % with a purity of tone 64.7… 78.2 %, which corresponds to the reddish-orange color, was obtained. After drying the test samples of pastes to the dried fraction, it has been found, that the brightness, depending on the percentage of raw materials in a sample falls in the range of 30.5… 33.2 %, at that the coloration corresponds to colors from bluish-purple to bluish-red with a purity of tone within 34.7… 34.9 %. As a result of evaluation of organoleptic indicators, it has been found, that according to the presented research samples, the best indicators have a sample with 40 % of raw apples, 20 % of pumpkin, 30 % of cranberries and 10 % of hawthorn. The obtained research data will be useful in the development of methods for the production of semi-finished products from vegetable raw materials. The applied digital method of color determination differs in simplicity and economy in comparison with colorimetric and spectrometric

Study of Quality Indicators of Cooked Sausage Products with Components of Plant Origin

In various regions of the Far East, the nutritional status of the population suggests that the diet of Russians is characterized by excessive consumption of animal fats, as well as micronutrients. Based on this, it will be promising to enrich the macro-and micronutrients of ordinary food products such as boiled sausage products for the benefit of the consumer. The use of vegetable raw materials in the production of meat products enrich them with functional ingredients, increase their digestibility and get products that meet the physiological norms of nutrition, contribute to the improvement of their therapeutic and preventive properties and the stabilization of consumer properties. The results of the tasting evaluation of the presented samples allowed us to draw conclusions about the possibility of improving the organoleptic parameters by adding raw materials of plant origin in various combinations and mass fraction. The use of carmine made it possible to get a color familiar to the buyer and to abandon the use of artificial food additives. Partial replacement of animal fat with soybean oil allowed to give the product useful properties and improved the appearance of the product.

DESTRUCTION OF CARBOHYDRATES IN THE PROCESS OF DIRECTED FERMENTATION OF PROTEIN CABBAGE WITH A CHANGED CARBOHYDRATE COMPONENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Польза для здоровья от ферментированных функциональных продуктов выражается непосредственно, через взаимодействие живых микроорганизмов, поступивших в организм вместе с пищевыми продуктами или с биологически активными добавками (пробиотический эффект), или косвенно, в результате потребления микробных метаболитов, синтезируемых в процессе ферментирования (биогенный эффект). Целый ряд исследований посвящен потенциалу процесса ферментирования для создания экономически эффективного производства пищевых продуктов с новыми функциональными и потребительскими свойствами. Присутствие в составе субстрата достаточного количества нутриентов (преимущественно сахаров) играет решающую роль в развитии молочнокислых микроорганизмов в процессе ферментирования. В этой связи были исследованы динамики концентрации глюкозы и фруктозы в результате направленной углеводной корректировки субстрата, приготовленного из белокочанной капусты сорта Парус. Установлено, что оптимальным, с точки зрения деструкции сахаров, является консорциум молочнокислых микроорганизмов видов L. casei и L. plantarum. Экспериментально установлено, что только этот консорциум удовлетворяет условие устойчивого синергизма между входящими в него видами микроорганизмов во время основного этапа ферментирования при условии углеводной корректировки сырья. Процесс углеводной корректировки целесообразно использовать при разработке технологии направленной ферментации овощного сырья. The health benefits of fermented functional products are expressed directly, through the interaction of living microorganisms that have entered the body together with food or biologically active additives (probiotic effect), or indirectly, as a result of consumption of microbial metabolites synthesized during fermentation (biogenic effect). A number of studies are devoted to the potential of the fermentation process to create cost-effective food production with new functional and consumer properties. The presence of a sufficient amount of nutrients (mainly sugars) in the substrate plays a crucial role in the development of lactic acid microorganisms during fermentation. In this regard, the dynamics of glucose and fructose concentrations were investigated as a result of directed carbohydrate adjustment of the substrate prepared from white cabbage of the Parus variety. It has been established that the consortium of lactic acid microorganisms of the species L. casei and L. plantarum is optimal from the point of view of the destruction of sugars. It has been experimentally established that only this consortium satisfies the condition of stable synergy between the species of microorganisms included in it during the main stage of fermentation, subject to carbohydrate adjustment of raw materials. It is advisable to use the process of carbohydrate correction in the development of technology for directed fermentation of vegetable raw materials.
