Prospects of biologically active additives in food products for elderly nutrition
Annotation
In the article it is shown that the most affordable way to provide people with micronutrients is the enrichment of food for mass consumption to a level corresponding to the physiological needs of a person. The physiological and functional properties of food can be improved by introducing additional ready-made vitamin-mineral supplements, herbal supplements, dietary fiber sources, phospholipids, proteins, and other enriched ingredients. Pumpkin seeds’ flour is shown to be perspective as an additive for bread making. Its high biological and nutritional value is due to its unique mineral composition, with zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, selenium being predominant, and also Е, А, В1, В2, В3, В4, В6, В9, С vitamin content. The optimal dosages of the pumpkin flour for dough making are given. Sponge-and-dough, straight dough and shortened baking methods are compared. Foods with an addition of biologically active substances of plant origin in their structure are recommended as for older people to prevent functional cardiac abnormalities, angina pectoris, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and insomnia. Moreover, it has an anti-inflammatory, choleretic, diuretic action, and able to regulate the gastrointestinal tract activity.
