Studying quality characteristics of functional food bioproducts using secondary raw materials of pine nut processing

The article presents the results of designing innovative bioproducts of functional nutrition using recycled materials obtained in the processing of pine nuts, based on the QFD-methodology, which allows you to create a product in accordance with consumer preferences. Based on the results of the survey and the consumers’ wishes, technologies were developed that made it possible to obtain four functional food bioproducts, which include the secondary raw material of pine nut processing. The qualitative characteristics of the obtained bioproducts, which is a synbiotic, including probiotic (bifidobacteria and propionic acid bacteria) and prebiotic (pine nut oilcake, pine nut meal, pine nut extract (tannid)), were studied. It is shown that innovative bioproducts are characterized by good organoleptic characteristics, have high consumer properties, and the use of processed products of pine nuts as a prebiotic increases their biochemical activity and functional properties.
