The Export Potential of Innovative Bioresources of the Arctic in the Economic Zone of the Polar Silk Road

Abstract

Due to active exploration of the Arctic, employing shift workers from the southern regions, development of the Northern sea route and the Arctic shelf, there is a high need to increase resistance to cold, especially in extreme stress situations, maintain high efficiency and prevent diseases in the harsh conditions of the Arctic. The use of the Arctic plant and animal raw materials to produce innovative functional food products helps to improve human adaptation in cold environment with long polar days and nights, frequent geomagnetic changes affecting the psychological state of a person and his health to perform professional duties. China is interested in the cooperation in the field of biomedicine, because of the priorities mentioned in the Arctic strategy, aimed at its involving into the projects of the Arctic exploration. The paper highlights the perspectives of the export potential of innovative products, produced from the Arctic bioresources in the economic zone of the Polar silk road. Based on the data collected by the research team during scientific expeditions and laboratory biological and chemical studies of the Arctic plants (Shiksha black, brown Sphagnum, Cetraria, dwarf birch leaf, Siberian larch needles etc.) and local fish and meat in the Arctic zone of Western Siberia in 2014-19, minimum sufficient norms of consuming Arctic traditional food products and the samples of innovative functional products were developed: "Heart of the North", sets of fast cooking hot food "Teplorod" and "Operator", Bread "Port Sabetta", drink "Yamal IRI", chocolate "Yamal lichen" and chewing marmalade "Yamal herbarium". The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 18-010-00875.

As a result, the share of highly qualified personnel attracted to perform work in the economic zone of the Polar Silk Road, is growing.

“…При этом определяющим моментом таких работ является биологическая и ресурсная оценка природных запасов полезных растений, выявление видов -носителей биологически и физиологически активных веществ, исследование динамики этих соединений в растительном сырье, основные направления в их изучении как в природных условиях, так и при первичной интродукции [2]. В настоящее время в ботанических садах и научных центрах России имеется ряд биоресурсных коллекций ценных в пищевом, лекарственном и декоративном отношении растений, которые продолжают пополняться [3][4][5][6][7]. В связи с увеличением потребительского спроса на ягодную продукцию особое внимание уделяется промышленному производству высокоценных в пищевом и лекарственном отношении лесных ягодных растений (голубика, брусника, клюква, жимолость, морошка, княженика и др.…”
