The thesis is dedicated to the scientific rationale and development of technolo¬gies of food products for special purposes, in particular, jelly-marmalade products, for power sports athletes with the usage of functional phytocomposition of adaptogen ac¬tion and extracts, which are based on it. This gives the possibility to enlarge the assort¬ment of functional products for sports nutrition with enriched phyto-adaptogen content, which constitutes the essential issue during the training of such athletes.
We have analyzed modern technologies of food products, physiological action of adaptogens of natural origin as a functional component of food products for the special purpose. Based on the questionnaire of the athletes, the confectionery of the jelly-marmalade group has been identified as a basic food product for enrichment with natural adaptogens.
It has been proven that the leaves of Ginkgo Biloba, Manchurian Aralia, Eleu¬therococcus Senticocus, and Echinacea purpurea are a source of biologically active substances of adaptogenic action with high antioxidant activity, which makes them an attractive source for creating phytocompositions of adaptogenic action. To harvest the above-mentioned vegetable raw materials, the rational parameters of its drying have been determined.
The prescription composition of the functional phytocomposition of adaptogenic action has been optimized and there have been defined the optimal parameters for the extraction process of active substances. Appropriate production parameters, technolog¬ical schemes, technological maps have been developed. Rational regimes and storage conditions have been established, quality and safety indicators have been investigated, and the chemical composition has been determined.
The substitution in the basic recipe of marmalade "Golden Autumn" of citric acid for succinic acid, which is a natural adaptogen, with a conversion factor of 1.74 has been substantiated and carried out.
We have studied the influence of the phytocomposition "Antistress" with the adaptogenic action and extracts based on it on the parameters of gem formation, tech¬nological, structural, and mechanical properties, organoleptic and physicochemical in¬dicators of marmalade quality, the optimal dosage of the phytocomposition.
Formulations and technologies of shaped marmalade with a phytocomposition of adaptogenic action "Antistress" and extracts based on it have been developed, qual¬ity and safety indicators and the chemical compositions have been determined, duration and storage conditions have been substantiated. It has been proven that the experi¬mental samples have an increased number of minor compounds in comparison with the control sample, which increases their biological value.
It has been carried out the study of the effect of jelly-fruit formed marmalade with powder and extracts of phytocomposition of adaptogenic action "Antistress" on the psycho-emotional state and fitness indicators of power sports athletes.
A software application has been designed to calculate the content of micro- and macronutrients in the diet set by the user and compare it with daily needs.
