Description

The invention relates to the field of food and pharmaceutical industry, namely to biologically active food additives (BAA).

Known pharmaceutical agent, which includes animal fat, bee honey, mercuric chloride and alcohol [RF patent No. 2071778, 1997]. The tool is obtained by the method according to which an alcoholic solution containing mercuric chloride and bee honey is introduced into the softened base, which is animal fat or a mixture of fats. This narrowly-targeted drug has antitumor activity, but cannot be used as a dietary supplement for widespread use, as promotes the accumulation of mercury in the body.

Known food product containing yeast chips and fat, which is used as vegetable oil [RF patent No. 2159564, 2000]. The product additionally contains biologically active substances, for example, seaweed, cloves, nuts and / or honey. The preparation of a food product includes crushing the yeast, heat treating it, introducing fat and obtaining yeast crumbs. In the resulting crumb, biologically active substances are additionally introduced. This food product has general strengthening, stimulating and anti-radiation properties. However, the vegetable oil that is part of the product contains a relatively small amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which leads to low anti-radiation properties of the product.

A vitamin supplement to food was prepared as a prototype, prepared from a suspension of particles of water-soluble solid acid vitamins and a vitamin liquid with particles of a solid fat-soluble alkaline substance, emulsification in a warm aqueous solution containing gelatin with a concentration that allows the gel to be obtained after cooling to normal temperature and form it into the desired form, with the pH of the final emulsion being 3.5-4.8 [GB patent 585686, 1947]. Riboflavin, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid and the like can be used as acidic vitamins. As a vitamin liquid, fish oil from fish liver containing vitamins A and D can be used. Soda, calcium or magnesium hydroxide can be used as an alkaline substance. Solid, water-soluble acidic vitamins and a solid alkaline substance can be added to the suspension separately with successive addition of gelatin to the aqueous solution, the latter may additionally contain honey as a plasticizer and flavoring agent. Used fish oil contains less than 15% wt. omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and after taking a vitamin supplement, these acids and other biologically active substances begin to be absorbed into the blood only in the small intestine, because a relatively hard gelatin-based gel is poorly soluble in gastric juice, so the total amount of biologically active substances absorbed by the body, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, is not more than 30% wt. of their total number, which leads to low biologically active properties of the additive.

The technical task to be solved is to increase the biological activity of dietary supplements containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids by increasing the body’s absorption rate and increasing the degree of activity.

The proposed biologically active food supplement in the form of an aqueous emulsion of fat of marine organisms also contains bee honey and a gel-forming agent. New is that as the fat of marine organisms it contains the fat of marine mammals with a content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids of at least 20 wt.%, As a gel-forming agent it contains pectin isolated from seaweed and / or herbs, with the following composition ingredients,% wt .: honey bee - 15-30, marine mammals fat - 4-12, pectin - 0.5-4.5, water (drinking or distilled) - the rest. It is better to use sodium alginate as a pectin, a polysaccharide obtained mainly from marine brown algae, mainly kelp, fucus, arthrotamius. You can use other pectins, such as zosterol (sodium zosterate) - a polysaccharide obtained from marine herbs of the Zosteraceae family.

The production method of the proposed dietary supplement includes the following process steps:

- prepare a solution of pectin in water, for which pectin is placed in water and left to swell with stirring for 24-72 hours, after which the pectin solution is filtered;

- a fat-honey mixture is prepared, for which bee honey and marine mammalian fat are heated in separate containers to 100-120 ° C with stirring and mixed at the same temperature, after which the fat-honey mixture can be filtered, and it is better when these components are filtered before mixing ;

- the pectin solution is heated to 100-120 ° C and mixed with the fat-honey mixture with the same temperature, and better with subsequent filtration.

The resulting dietary supplement is best poured into vacuum packaging at a temperature of 100-120 ° C.

Such a combination of three known biologically active substances in an aqueous emulsion leads to a synergistic effect:

- due to the fact that fat is contained in an aqueous fluid emulsion, omega-3 fatty acids — decosohexaenoic acid (DND) and eicosopentaenoic acid (EPA), which are biologically active substances — begin to be absorbed into the bloodstream in the esophagus and then absorbed in the stomach and intestines, i.e. the absorption of these acids by the body is more than 70%;

- the fat of most marine mammals already contains more than 20% wt. BOTTOM AND EPA, i.e. the cost of dietary supplements is less than when using fish oil, which must be concentrated to such a content of DND and EPA using special technology;

- pectin isolated from algae and / or herbs has two functions: firstly, such pectin itself is a biologically active substance, for example, sodium alginate or zosterin have several types of specific biological activity - anti-radiation, unincorporated, antacid, repair, hemostimulating, thereby enhancing the similar functions of DND and EPA, secondly, such pectin is a gelling agent, and at the claimed concentration of dietary supplement is liquid, the consistency of kissel, i.e. the fat in the emulsion does not settle and is evenly distributed throughout the volume;

- despite the fact that when heated to the claimed temperature, honey loses its biologically active properties, it also performs two more functions: firstly, a sweetener and emulsifier, and secondly, when dietary supplements enter the mouth, a relatively high honey content enhances saliva separation , which further increases the body’s absorption of biologically active substances.

The invention is illustrated by the example of dietary supplement “Marivit”.

For the production of dietary supplements "Marivit" use the following ingredients,% wt .:

honey bee GOST 19792-87 25

fat of marine mammals GOST 8714-72 with a total content of

 BOTTOM and EPA not less than 25% wt. and acid number KOH / g not more than 3 6

sodium alginate TU 15-544-83 2

distilled water GOST 6709-72 67

Sodium alginate and distilled water, heated to boiling point, are placed in a reactor with a stirrer and left to swell with stirring for 72 hours at normal temperature, after which the pectin solution is subjected to vacuum filtration (using a Buchner funnel and a Bunsen flask using three to four layers of calico). Bee honey and marine mammalian fat are heated in separate open stainless steel containers to 110 ° C with stirring, vacuum filtered and mixed at the same temperature in a separate open container, after which the resulting fat-honey mixture is subjected to vacuum filtration. The pectin solution is heated to 110 ° C and mixed with the fat-and-honey mixture at the same temperature, after which it is also subjected to vacuum filtration. The resulting dietary supplement is poured at a temperature of 100-110 ° C in vacuum into glass bottles with a capacity of up to 30 ml and hermetically sealed. Store at room temperature in a dark place.
