The Study of Main Physical-chemical Parameters of Chaenomeles and Products of Its Processing

In the article were considered the topical problems, connected with health worsening and human existence. The use of vegetable raw material as a source of biologically active components is prospective in production foodstuff. There were offered the rational methods of processing of chaenomeles for getting juice and puree. There were carried out an analysis of expedience of using chaenomeles and products of its processing for enrichment foodstuff. It was established, that maximal amount of phenol substances is contained in fruit peel and L-ascorbic acid - in flesh. It was determined, that apple acid prevails among organic ones, fructose - among sugars and phenol substances are mainly presented by procyanidins. Using chromotographic analysis in the products of chaenomeles processing were identified 48 names of aromatic compounds, alcohols, acids, ethers and unsaturated carbohydrates prevail among them. There were studied the physical-chemical parameters of fruit sauces and flour products with addition of chaenomeles processing products. The received results prove that the ready foodstuff that contain puree and juice of chaemomeles have the high organoleptic, physical-chemical parameters and also heightened biological value

The Study of Biologically Active Substances of Chaenomelesand the Products of Its Processing

The importance of developing food products of improved biological value to ensure the healthy nourishment of the population was analyzed. The prospects of using plant raw materials as a source of biologically active components were shown. The chemical composition of chaenomeles fruit and of the products of its processing was determined. The biological value of the components of the fruit was explored, and it was found that maximum amount of L­ascorbic acid is contained in the pulp of the fruit and that maximum amount of phenolic substances is contained in the peels of the fruit. With the help of chromatographic studies, it was established that the products of chaenomeles processing have significant content of organic acids, among which Malic, quinic, citric and succinic acids were identified, Malic acid is dominant amomg them. The sugars, found in the fruit of chaenomeles, are represented by fructose, glucose and saccharose, among them fructose and glucose prevail. The raw material contains procyanidins, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavones and flavan­3­ols, among them procyanidin trimmer, chlorogenic acid, rutin and epicatechine dominate, which have high antioxidant properties. In the products of chaenomeles processing, 48 types of aromatic compounds were identified, among which prevail alcohols, acids, ethers and unsaturated carbohydrates that give products of chaenomeles processing unique aroma and predetermine their antibacterial properties.The products of chaenomeles processing (juice, puree) are a valuable source of organic acids; they were used as a natural regulator of acidity and as an antioxidant in manufacturing products from flour yeast dough. Puree fromchaenomeles contains a significant amount of pectic substances and was used in the production of fruit sauces as a structuring agent. An increase in the organoleptic and physical and chemical indicators in fruit sauces and flour products with the use of products of chaenomeles processing was established
