The effect of iodine-containing additives on the quality and safety of the curd mass

The article highlights the impact of iodine-containing food additives on the safety and consumer properties of the curd mass. The aim of the research is to develop formulations and technologies for the production of curd masses with a controlled composition of the introduced components through the use of marine products (kelp) and fruit fillers on the basis of the theory of balanced nutrition. The addition of a suspension of dry kelp to the curd mass enriches it with iodine and some micronutrients necessary for the human body.As a result of the studies, the optimal ratios and doses of the introduced components were established. The formulation of new types of curd masses with iodine-containing additives allows us to expand their assortment line as competitive products with attractive organoleptic characteristics for consumers, increased nutritional value and functional properties.
