Abstract

The importance of developing food products of improved biological value to ensure the healthy nourishment of the population was analyzed. The prospects of using plant raw materials as a source of biologically active components were shown. The chemical composition of chaenomeles fruit and of the products of its processing was determined. The biological value of the components of the fruit was explored, and it was found that maximum amount of L­ascorbic acid is contained in the pulp of the fruit and that maximum amount of phenolic substances is contained in the peels of the fruit. With the help of chromatographic studies, it was established that the products of chaenomeles processing have significant content of organic acids, among which malic, quinic, citric and succinic acids were identified, malic acid is dominant amomg them. The sugars, found in the fruit of chaenomeles, are represented by fructose, glucose and saccharose, among them fructose and glucose prevail. The raw material contains procyanidins, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavones and flavan­3­ols, among them procyanidin trimmer, chlorogenic acid, rutin and epicatechine dominate, which have high antioxidant properties. In the products of chaenomeles processing, 48 types of aromatic compounds were identified, among which prevail alcohols, acids, ethers and unsaturated carbohydrates that give products of chaenomeles processing unique aroma and predetermine their antibacterial properties. The products of chaenomeles processing (juice, puree) are a valuable source of organic acids; they were used as a natural regulator of acidity and as an antioxidant in manufacturing products from flour yeast dough. Puree fromchaenomeles contains a significant amount of pectic substances and was used in the production of fruit sauces as a structuring agent. An increase in the organoleptic and physical and chemical indicators in fruit sauces and flour products with the use of products of chaenomeles processing was established.

Highlights

  • The problem of present time is substantial deterioration of health and a decrease in life expectancy of the population, which is caused by unfavourable environmental situation, low quality food, artificial food additives and consumption of a great amount of refined products

  • It is socially important to develop the technology of food products withimproved consumer properties, which imply a decrease in energetic versus nutritious value and enhancing organoleptic parameters

  • The leading scientists were involved in the development of scientific fundamentals of technology of processing the alternative raw material with its use in manufacturing food products [2, 3]

Summary

Introduction

The problem of present time is substantial deterioration of health and a decrease in life expectancy of the population, which is caused by unfavourable environmental situation, low quality food, artificial food additives and consumption of a great amount of refined products. The most acute problem is the health of children, because every second child is born with certain types of allergic diseases, congenitalabnormalities and other defects of normal development [1]. Arelevant task of today is to create food products with a directed biological effect due to the use of natural ingredients of the raw materials that possess antioxidant and adaptogenic properties. In this regard, it is socially important to develop the technology of food products withimproved consumer properties, which imply a decrease in energetic versus nutritious value and enhancing organoleptic parameters
