Development of Synbiotics Based on Arctic Plant Raw Materials

Abstract

The strategic task of the modern food industry is the development of functional food prod ucts targeted at the chronic diseases reduction, the life expectancy growth in citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as the replacement of imported food substances widely repre sented on the Russian market. The research aim is developing a synbiotic that consists of polyphenolic compounds of Arctic phyto raw materials obtained by cultivating callus cells in sterile laboratory conditions, as well as industrially produced probiotic microorganisms. The authors revealed that the glycoside content in the callus tissue was lower than in the plant, the benzoic acid content was also reduced. However, there is an increase in the fla vonoids amount from 12.6 % to 16.5 % in the callus mass. According to the research results, a man detected the largest biomass growth volumes after 35 days. The complex compound contained a significant amount of fiber up to 18.2 mg/100 g, polyphenolic compounds – up to 515.5 mg/100 g. The resulting product was a light brown powder with a moisture con tent of 5.8–7.0 %, sent for the subsequent microencapsulation process as a core.
