STUDY OF JRQANOLEPTIC INDIKATORS AND BIOLOGICAL VALUE OF GRANOLA SUPERFOOD WITH IMPROVED NUTRIENT COMPOSITION

Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of a granola recipe with an improved nutrient composition.This product combines useful superfoods and adaptogens that help maintain energy and stress resistance of the body. The recipe composition of the new product – granola is multicomponent, its composition, in addition to candied sea buckthorn, includes raw materials of increased nutritional value: oatmeal, walnuts, amaranth, goji berries, coconut oil, ginger and honey.Thanks to the use of low-temperature drying, the product retains all the nutrients that contribute to the overall strengthening of the body. Granola contains amaranth, a pseudocereal with a full set of amino acids, which provides a long-lasting feeling of satiety and muscle support.Goji berries act as adaptogens, strengthening immunity and increasing energy levels.The product contains coconut oil, which contains healthy fats that enhance taste and promote the absorption of nutrients. Walnuts, rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc, stimulate brain function, strengthen the cardiovascular system and normalize cholesterol levels. Honey provides natural sweetness and a quick boost of energy, and ginger, rich in antioxidants, protects cells from oxidative stress. The addition of dried cranberries, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, enhances immune support and protects the body from free radicals. Adding natural plant components to the superfood granola recipe made it possible to increase the amount of macro- and microelements in them. The best satisfaction with the daily requirement (in 100 g of granola) was magnesium at 66%, calcium at 33%, and zinc at 30%.The results of the study determined the content of vitamins B6, B9, and B12 in the granola superfood at 0.35 mg, 65.171 μg, and 1.1 μg, respectively.Superfood granola is an ideal solution for supporting the body in difficult conditions, providing nutrients that help restore strength, improve overall well-being, and increase stress resistance.
