The influence of functional ingredients on quality of cheese

The use of additives of plant origin can increase the nutritional and biological value, improve the quality and organoleptic characteristics of the finished product. Carrots are a useful non-calorie vegetable, which contains vitamins b, PP, C, E, K, it contains carotene-a substance that is converted into vitamin a in the human body. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that it is better absorbed by the body when consumed together with fats. Milk thistle is traditionally used in the complex therapy of many diseases. The main biologically active substances of milk Thistle are flavonoids and flavolignans, which are known by the common name silymarin. Milk Thistle powder is rich in vitamins and minerals. Black sesame is considered to be a valuable oil-yielding plant. The seeds contain many vitamins and minerals, as well as dietary fiber, which bring invaluable benefits to the human body. The aim of the research was to develop the technology of cheese enriched with functional ingredients of feta “Aphelia”, to study the properties and composition of carrots, black sesame and milk Thistle powder, their influence on quality indicators, to determine its quality and biological value. In addition, an experiment was conducted to determine the vitamin, mineral and amino acid composition of feta Afelia brine cheese and a control sample. Cheese with filling makes it possible to enrich and diversify the diet of consumers.

Изучение генофонда моркови коллекции ВИР для селекционного использования

В Госреестр селекционных достижений, допущенных к использованию на территории РФ, включено более 320 сортов и гибридов моркови. На урожай и его качество значительное влияние оказывают условия выращивания, поэтому возрастает роль сорта/гибрида, созданного применительно к определенным почвенно-климатическим условиям. Приведены результаты оценки коллекционных образцов моркови на устойчивость к вредителям и болезням. Материалом для исследований послужили образцы моркови, поступившие в коллекцию ВИР из 11 стран мира. Выявлены различия по уровню повреждаемости образцов морковной листоблошкой, а также значительное варьирование поражаемости болезнями в зависимости от происхождения образца. В годы исследований (2014 – 2016, Ленинградскя область) степень поражения альтернариозом и фузариозом составила 25 – 40 %, серой гнилью — 0 – 10 %, фомозом и бактериозом — 5 – 15 %. Образцы моркови De Chantenay a cored rouge (Франция), Tip Top (Нидерланды), Rotherz (Венгрия), Арамильская и Принцесса (Россия), Местная (Чили), Royal Chantenay (США), Местная (Литва) отличались повышенной устойчивостью к комплексу болезней. Показана роль сорта в обеспечении стабильности урожаев в разных условиях выращивания. Проанализирован сортовой состав моркови по содержанию основных химических веществ. Образцы моркови Tip Top (Нидерланды), Naga (Япония), Scarlet Nantes (Канада), Грибовская и Принцесса (Россия) выделились по комплексу ценных биохимических компонентов. Выделенные источники послужат ценным исходным материалом для селекции, что позволит решать первоочередные задачи производства этой важной культуры.

Bioconversion of Carotenoids in Five Fruits and Vegetables to Vitamin A Measured by Retinol Accumulation in Rat Livers

Problem statement: Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most prevalent and major nutritional problems in developing countries, espec ially in young children. In many countries, a substantial proportion of dietary vitamin A is comm only derived from pro-vitamin A carotenoids obtained from colored fruits and orange or green ve getables. However, the bioavailability of retinol derived from carotenoids from these plant sources i s not well known. Approach: The present study analyzed β-Carotene and Total Carotenoids (TC) composition of carrots ( Daucus carota ), parsley (Petroselinum crispum ), Spinach ( Spinacea oleracea ), mangoes ( Mangifera indica ) and papayas (Carica papaya ) and determined the bioconversion of their caroten oids to vitamin A by monitoring the levels of retinol accumulated in liver and plasma o f Wistar rats ( Rattus norvegicus ). Products were freeze-dried, β-Carotene content analyzed by HPLC and TC by Spectrophotometry. Results: Carrots presented the highest content of β-carotene followed by parsley with 32.8 and 19.6 mg 100 g -1 , respectively. Spinach had the highest content of TC followed by parsley with 60.7 and 56.7 mg 100 g -1 , respectively. Four-week-old male Wistar rats receiv ed a standard diet as an adaptation period, a diet free of Carotenoids and Vitamin A (CVA-diet) as depletion period and finally a Fruit or Vegetable (FoV) based diet as repletion period. The highest β-carotene bioconversion was for mango and the lowest for parsley, whereas the highest TC bioconve rsion was for carrots and the lowest for parsley. There were no significant differences in plasma ret inol between treatments. Conclusion/Recommendations: There was no relation between carotenoids content in FoV-based diet and retinol status in plasma. Furthermore, the empl oyment of a general retinol conversion factor is regarded as not appropriate. So, it is recommended to consider specific conversion factors for groups of horticultural crops, for example, a factor for g reen leafy vegetables and other factor for fruits o r roots.

Variation in moisture, total sugar, and carotene content of Japanese carrots: Use in sample size determination

Variation in the composition of carrots by season, region, and individual samples was studied to design an efficient multi-stage sampling plan and evaluate its precision in terms of effective sample size. One hundred and twenty carrot samples were collected in an unbalanced four-level nested design. The four levels consisted of four seasons, seven prefectures within the Japanese archipelago, two agricultural cooperatives, and two farmers. The moisture, total sugar, and α- and β-carotene contents of the carrots were determined, and the results were evaluated using a random effects model. Based on the average of the four seasonal collections, 24% of the total variation in carrot composition was found to be attributable to seasonal change, 46% to region, 24% to farmer, and 6% to individual samples. The precision of several sampling scenarios was simulated to quantitatively demonstrate how much composite samples improved the representativeness of the data.
