Justification of the reciption component of plants in the production of functional food products

Despite significant advances in the pharmacotherapy of a number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) of the respiratory tract, important attention should be paid to nutrition as one of the links in complex therapy. Reflecting the global consumer trend of health promotion, it is shown that increasing the production of functional consumer products aimed at promoting a healthy diet can play a certain role in preventing the development of NCDs. A promising direction is the use of medicinal plants in food production, since many plants contain biologically active substances, flavonoids, essential oils, organic acids, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other important nutrients, and through them the need can be largely satisfied the human body in substances that differ in nutritional value and biological activity. For use as ingredients in the development of dietary supplements for the fortification of food products, the creation of functional and specialized products, it is necessary to be guided by TR CU 021/2011, which provides a list of plants and their processed products prohibited for use in dietary supplements. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the prescription-component composition of dietary supplements from medicinal plant raw materials, approved for use. We have studied the antioxidant properties of medicinal plants, which have properties recommended for the prevention of diseases in the respiratory tract - fennel, caraway seeds, calamus rhizomes. It has been shown that caraway seeds have the highest antioxidant activity (77.2 %), the lowest activity was found in fennel fruits (29.1 %). A recipe-component composition of a mixture for a drink for the prevention of upper respiratory tract diseases has been proposed.
