Development of functional meatloaf technology

Many scientists and experts believe that combining meat and vegetable raw materials is the most promising way to solve the problem of healthy eating. The combination of raw materials allows you to obtain original high-quality food products of various compositions, expand the range of this type of product and allows you to use optimal customized recipes to ensure the best consistency and biological value. The article discusses the development of a technology for obtaining a functional food product using meat and vegetable components. The aim of the study is to develop a combined food product for therapeutic, prophylactic and functional purposes. An original recipe for rabbit meatloaf with the addition of plant components is proposed. According to the developed technology, the production of meat loaves was made on the basis of a balanced ratio of the main food ingredients, providing improved digestibility, assimilability, biological value while achieving the best consistency. Rabbit meat is used as a meat component. Chickpea flour, pine nuts, fenugreek seeds, paprika, table salt, black pepper were used as plant components. The quality assessment by organoleptic and physicochemical indicators was carried out according to generally accepted methods. This recipe made it possible to obtain a food product of a functional orientation, balanced in chemical composition, containing vegetable and animal proteins, fats, a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, group B vitamins, vitamins A, C, E, K, PP and such biologically significant elements as iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, iodine, etc., with high organoleptic characteristics. The mass fraction of protein was at least 18.2%, fat - 13.0%, carbohydrates - 1.5%. The calorie content of 100 g of finished meatloaf was 183 Kcal.
