Abstract
Currently, the expansion of the range of functional drinks based on whey is of great interest. In the compositions of such drinks, the use of plant extracts or their compositions is relevant, Since it helps to increase the concentration of biologically active substances in them, including antioxidant action. There fore, the purpose of this study is to develop a beverage technology based on whey enriched with rosehip vitamin complex. The process of obtaining biologically active substances by roses of plants, including rosehip, has been optimized by mathematical modeling. The synergistic effect of the antioxidant action of the obtained extracts with whey extract has been established. Formulas and a basic technological scheme of “Active” drinks have been developed. As a generalization, drinks based on rosehip and whey enriched with a vitamin complex have been developed. The assessment of the quality of drinks according to a set of indicators in comparison with the analogue was carried out. The proposed technology makes it possible to obtain gel-like drinks in whey, which are natural food. It has higher organoleptic characteristics and shelf life compared to its analog, as well as significant concentrations of functional ingredients of an antioxidant orientation (flavonoids, xanthones, vitamin C).
