Technological and ingredient features of food product development in Ukraine

Abstract

The war in Ukraine, which has been going on for over 2,5 years, requires not only a change in the organization of nutrition for the participants in the conflict, temporarily displaced children and adults, but also the development of a special range of food products. Constant anxiety and stressful situations of the country's population require improvement of their nutrient composition and consumer properties, in particular shelf life. In this regard, the goal of the work was to develop

a range of special food products with increased anti -stress properties, in user-friendly packaging and with an extended shelf life. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks: monitor common food products with increased health benefits and significant concentrations of anti-stress ingredients; develop recipes for a special range of food products with the specified properties; develop heat treatment modes that ensure the absence of pathogenic and opportunistic microbiota, as well as pathogens that spoil the developed products; test the stability of the developed products during prolonged storage, as well as substantiate

recommendations for their shelf life. Based on the results of the monitoring, ingredients suitable for enrichment and development of a special range of food products were identified, determined based on the results of our experimental studies and analytical data [1]. These include metabiotics - metabolites of probiotic

types of microorganisms, a number of types of raw materials with an increased content of stress-protective amino acids, vitamins, etc. We have developed heat treatment modes for special food

products taking into account the features of their composition: in a combined metal container with a lid made of a polymer soft barrier material (PET/PE) for the product "Smoked Sprats in Oil"; in a polymer semi-rigid container made of multilayer barrier material PET/EVOH/CPP with a lid

made of aluminum foil with thermoplastic application, for the product "Meat Pate" [2], as well as optimal storage periods without changing the ingredients that determine the target properties of the product. Thus, taking into account the war in Ukraine, a special assortment of food products was developed, the consumption of which will reduce the negative impact on the health of the population.
