Prospects of creating the functional beverages

 of the new generation

 

The balanced nourishment is the important factor, which ensures health and longevity of all population groups. To creation and to the use of specialized food products of functional designation is assigned special role. In this case should be noted the beverages, food nourishment value and physiological action of which depends on chemical composition and properties of the components of its components.

Creation and use of new formulas of the beverages of functional designation is based on the following principles:

-  the natural origin of source material;

-  food safety and the prevalence of traditional and nontraditional raw material;

-  the biological full value of end product;

-  the high organoleptic indices of product;

-  the high saturation of product by natural antioxidants.

Into always in the peoples of different countries into food ration entered the medicinal plants or their infusion, whose use was necessary for maintaining of health and preventive maintenance of many illnesses.

The fulfillment of the formulated principles is attained only with the use of natural raw material, with obtaining of beverages on the basis of high-quality concentrates and extracts of fruit and berry raw material, and also during the enrichment of beverages by biologically active constituents of different functional directivity. Similar substances in large quantities are contained in extracts and blended wines of different medicinal grasses, fruit and berry raw material, the being been the special shape of enrichment nonalcoholic beverages. Extracts and concentrates of medicinal plants make possible for human organism to obtain the complex of vitamins, carbohydrates of various forms, mineral connections, essential oils, bactericides, organic acids and other, biologically active materials.

They ensure the normalization of exchange of substances, the optimum functioning of internal organs and circulatory system is stabilized the work of immune system. The resistibility of organism to the action of unfavorable factors rises due to this, the action of harmful substances is reduced, and their removal is accelerated, resistance to the attacks of different bacteria and viruses rises.  Such beverages are shown for the preventive maintenance of the broad class of diseases. Their clear examples are different containing the juice beverages of functional designation, sport and energy beverages, cold the tea.

The containing the juice beverages of functional designation without the gas or weakly-gassed, have, as a rule, a natural color and an aroma of fresh fruits. Is explained this by the fact that the Russian user, concerned by the problem of healthy nourishment, predominantly gives preference to natural products, and beverages in this case are not exception. Promising raw material for the beverages of functional designation are extracts, obtained from such fruits and berries as quince, feykhoa, lemon, hawthorn, barberries, inzhir, black currant, bilberry, raspberries, sea buckthorn, sweetbrier and other.

The substantial part of the sport beverages is directed toward the restoration of water-salt balance after physical loads. Such beverages contain the solutions of mineral salts (electrolytes), the easily mastered carbohydrates and the L- carnitine, which improves muscular activity.

The energy beverages, which acquire special popularity among the people of young generation, athletes are the specific form of beverages. In them by the majority carriers of energy are mono and – disaccharide, the caffeine, the stimulating reserves of man, the vitamins of groups v, s, and also taurine, the possessing gepatoprotektornym action, the kardiotonicheskimi and hypotensive properties, which improve the physical abilities of organism.

Besides these ingredients into the energy beverages, are added different gustatory and aromatic substances. As them come out toning up extracts guarany, eleuterococcus, rodiola pink, savory, Adams's rododedron, the meadow-sweet, khvoynik. Is also possible the application of fruits of unabi, aronika of chernoplodnogo, levzei saflorovidnoy, clove's root.

Cold chai, black, green, and also the organic tea conquer ever greater popularity, because of their refreshing tastes, by the toning up effect and are splendid utolitelyami of thirst, especially in the hot periods of year. Because of the content in them of the fruit extracts of raspberries, inzhira, peach, lemon, cherries, currants, extracts of a number of medicinal plants and grasses, other additives, all useful for the health biologically active materials remain in the beverage total volume. Grassy extracts – new niche in the rule of cold tea beverages. The extracts of balm, linden blossom, chicory, St. John's wort, Mayorana, willow herb, primrose – this is far from complete enumeration of useful additives to the tea beverages, which are assigned in different dosage and improve the general health of the human organism.

The concentration of the number of liquid food and biotechnological media, which include fruit juices, the extracts of medicinal plants and grasses are at present predominantly achieved by methods of ultrafiltration and vacuum evaporation, in view prevailing and in force standards and the norm of production, and also conservatism of the prevailing approaches to concentrating the equipment used. Furthermore, important role here play the energy resources of our native land, which make it possible to substantially decrease economic expenses with the operation of the heat- and energozatratnogo concentrated technological concentrated equipment, which, often does not ensure the maximum retention of chemical composition and entire complex of the most valuable composition and collection of the biotechnological properties of raw material.

As studies of the last years showed, by the most effective method of the concentration of the components of extracts and juices is refrigeratory concentration the freezing out method of moisture, that is been today, the only progressive and completely promising method of retaining the initial biotechnological composition. Here it should be noted that besides the best quality of the concentrated product, due to the refrigeratory working, concentration unattainable with the known methods, the method of thickening indicated requires also sufficiently low power expenditures for the realization of process itself, completely compared with the expenditures for vacuum evaporation.

As a rule, is developed the composition of medicinal plants, whose extract exerts the goal-directed influence. Until today it is possible with the confidence to forecast further development and development of the new forms of functional beverages and the continuation of the segmentation of the market for the functional beverages of the new generation.
