Prospects for the use of pulses in innovative technologies for functional food products

The problem of providing the world population with a high-grade dietary protein not only remains relevant in the third millennium, but is also becoming increasingly acute. Humanity is faced with limited natural resources against the background of rapid population growth in economically underdeveloped countries and an increase in the number of man-made disasters. The deficiency of dietary protein in the diet is 10-25 million tons/year, which leads to the depletion of the adaptive capacity of the human body and the emergence of a wide range of alimentary-dependent diseases and requires the adoption of measures and implementation of various programs at the state level. About 80% of the world's food protein reserves are of vegetable origin, with 50% being cereals, 25% - legumes and oilseeds. Due to the short reproduction cycle and availability, in terms of economic and environmental indicators, plant raw materials are a promising source of food protein, mainly used indirectly - for feed purposes. The article provides an overview of the main directions of biotechnological impact and the use of legume processing products. The biological diversity of legumes is presented, which provides the possibility of growing a large list of crops in the territory of the Russian Federation, the structure of representatives of legumes by types of harvest in 2019. The nutritional value of legumes is analyzed in comparison with other types of food raw materials. A list of valuable essential substances with a pronounced bio-corrective action present in legumes is given. Proteins of plant raw materials differ in the composition of limiting amino acids, for legumes (beans, peas, etc.) - methionine and cystine. Combining cereals with legumes allows you to design a protein that is closest to the optimal amino acid composition. The paper provides information on the amino acid composition of various legumes. Presents data on meeting the daily requirement for vitamins and minerals when introducing various legumes into the diet. The article analyzes the protein content in the chemical composition and nutritional value of various leguminous crops. Considered and studied modern recipe and technological solutions for obtaining food products using leguminous crops. The presented data provided the basis for the intensive development of scientific research, experimental design and experimental production work in the direction of deep processing of legumes and the development of technologies for the production of functional products based on them.
