ХИМИЧЕСКИЙ СОСТАВ И АНТИОКСИДАНТНЫЕ СОЕДИНЕНИЯ МУЧНОЙ КОМПОЗИТНОЙ СМЕСИ С ДОБАВЛЕНИЕМ БРУСНИКИ И ПАЖИТНИКА

Abstract

The effect of fenugreek and lingonberry supplements, containing natural antioxidants and a lot of important nutrition components, on the chemical composition and antioxidant content of flour mixture based on whole oat flour were investigated. Oat flour was produced using hydrothermal treatment, which included intensive moistening of the grain in the vacuum unit, standing, and drying. In addition to whole oat flour, the highgrade wheat flour, dry wheat gluten, and fenugreek seed powder or dried lingonberry powder were added to the flour composite mixture. The chemical composition of raw material and flour composite such as protein, carbohydrates, fat, and moisture was determined. Besides, antioxidant components, like Vitamin C and flavonoids in raw material and flour composites were investigated. From results, it has been established that adding fenugreek seed powder and dried lingonberry powder to flour composite based on oat flour leads to significant enhancing in the chemical composition and antioxidant compounds: the addition of the fenugreek seed powder led to the increase of protein content in the flour composite. Furthermore, adding dried lingonberry powder and fenugreek seed powder led to a slight effect on carbohydrates. The addition of fenugreek seed powder has the greatest effect on the content of flavonoids. In addition, vitamin C was significantly increased by the addition of lingonberry. According to, the results of our research can recommend the addition of fenugreek seed powder and lingonberry to oatwheat flour composite leading to improvement of its nutritional and antioxidant properties.
