Abstract

The issue of providing the residents of the Russian Federation with food for a healthy diet is still currently relevant. The population lacks essential biological substances. The inclusion of various types of agricultural raw materials in food products enables to improve the quality indicators of finished products. The article presents the outcomes of research on the development of a technology for the manufacture of a multicomponent chilled dessert for proper nutrition using a locally produced plant component, namely pumpkin and apples, as the main raw material. As additional components the following ones are used: yogurt, honey, ginger syrup, stevia, blackberry, pine nuts, orange. The authors have developed three product formulations and for each of its samples the quality and quantitative characteristics assessment, the nutritional and energy value, the concentration of minerals and vitamins have been established. Based on the test results, the relevance of the production of a multicomponent chilled dessert based on pumpkin and apple processing products has been justified. The product is recommended for all population groups as a product for proper nutrition. A portion of the developed multicomponent chilled dessert with a volume of 110 to 125 g (depending on the recipe) contributes to the satisfaction of more than 15% of a person’s daily need for potassium, and with the addition of orange – for vitamin C.
