Immunomodulating sauces

Abstract

Deficiency of most micronutrients, imbalance in nutrition, together with a dangerous environmental situation in Ukraine, has led to a decrease in the immunity of the population and the spread of alimentary-dependent diseases. Due to the damaged immunological picture of the population in recent years, the relevance of the creation of immunomodulating products is significantly increasing. About 70% of dishes served in restaurant are released with sauces, which allows not only to improve the aroma, appearance and taste of the finished dish, but also to increase the content of the essential substances of the dish. In the assortment of sauce products on the Ukrainian market, most of the sauces contain preservatives, artificial stabilizers and emulsifiers that negatively affect the human body and are not recommended for daily consumption. The subject of research is sauce products for preventive nutrition with increased nutritional value, without the presence of artificial food additives in the composition. The purpose of the study is to develop formulations of immunomodulating sauces using natural raw materials. Methods. The object of the study - developed immunomodulating sauces. In the finished product, the following parameters were determined: titratable acidity (DSTU 4957:2008), microbiological indicators (GOST 10444.15-94, GOST 54728-92, GOST 10444.2-94, GOST 30519-97). The results of the study. As a result of a literature search, the substances were determined, their bigger content in dies being important for improvement in the state of the immune system. These substances include, first of all, antioxidant vitamins (C, A and E), polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially omega-3), mineral elements and other minor substances. During developing the formulations of immunomodulating sauces, twelve requirements were formulated.. As a result of the raw materials selection, three formulations of immunomodulating sauces have been proposed. In their technology, there is a high-temperature heat treatment, which allows maximizing the preservation of useful thermolabile components. Scope of research results. Ready-made sauces are sold in restaurant establishments and consumed locally. Due to their simplicity of preparation, they can also be recommended for making at home. The developed immunomodulating sauces have a pleasant appearance and harmonious taste, which is confirming the data of sugar-acid indices.

Formation of quality indicators of products based on fruits and berries

“…This is due to their content of extractive, aromatic, and flavoring substances that stimulate the secretion of digestive glands. The use of some sauces in the recipe when preparing meals not only enriches them with fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals, but also intensifies the cooking process, which is one of the important functions of sauces in culinary production [2].…”
