Description

The invention relates to the food industry, namely to composite nutritional supplements for functional purposes mainly for children during their intensive growth and development, as well as persons with deviations from the musculoskeletal system. The product can be used independently and to produce instant drinks as a general strengthening agent, to accelerate the recovery processes in the post-traumatic period, to prevent negative changes in bone tissue during osteoporosis, as well as to increase the nonspecific resistance of the body.

Egg shells are characterized by a high content of balanced minerals, the percentage of which is close in value to the content of those in human bone tissue. Vitamin C and citric acid included in the composition of the food supplement contribute to the easy dissolution and absorption of a complex of minerals in the intestine without causing side effects from the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, minerals, essential oils, betaine, phytosterols have an extremely wide spectrum of action, including in the human body they perform a number of important functions that ensure an increase in bone density:

1) are necessary components of bone tissue and teeth;

2) participate in maintaining energy potentials in the muscles and nerves, which contributes to the optimal course of muscle contraction processes;

3) take part in maintaining the acid-base balance of the body, restoring the balance of buffer systems;

4) have a positive effect on mineral, fat and water metabolism, accelerating the recovery period after infectious and inflammatory diseases.

In this regard, the introduction into the diet of children and adults suffering from functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, mineral elements and vitamins of natural origin, is one of the priorities for organizing dietary nutrition during rehabilitation.

There are analogues of dietary supplements using eggshells. These include "CalciDar shell" [RU No. 002315. R. 643.01.2001. dated January 17, 2001]; biologically active food supplement for the prevention of calcium deficiency and optimization of calcium metabolism [RF Patent No.2001135433 "Biologically active food supplement for the prevention of calcium deficiency and optimization of calcium metabolism" according to application 2001135433/13 IPC ⁷ A 23 L 1/30. Claim 2001.12.28. Publ. 2003.07.20.]; egg shell food additive, which is calcined and crushed in a refrigerant medium by grinding [RF Patent No. 97121070 "Method for producing a food egg shell supplement" according to application 97121070/13 IPC ⁶ A 23 L 1/30. Claim 1997.12.26. Publ. 1999.03.27.]. The disadvantage of these biologically active food additives is that in addition to the eggshell they contain components obtained by organic synthesis. Also, dietary supplements do not provide for the production of a complex of macro- and microelements with citric and ascorbic acids to increase the digestibility of the mineral components contained in them in the gastrointestinal tract; dietary supplements do not include ballast substances (pectin and cellulose), which perform the functions of a sorbent and improve the microflora and intestinal motility.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved effect is a biologically active food supplement "Calcide", consisting of eggshells and vitamins (TU 9154-005-33673145-99).

Its disadvantage is that it does not contain ballast substances, non-cyclic sesquiterpenes, betaine and organic acids, which increase the degree of delay of mineral substances by the body, which leads to an improvement in the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of people suffering from musculoskeletal disorders and increases non-specific resistance organism. Also, the “Calcid” food additive belongs to pharmacological preparations and is available in the form of tablets, which complicates the processes of absorption of its components in the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the degree of assimilation of mineral substances. Egg shells have specific organoleptic properties, therefore, when it is introduced into food products, it becomes necessary to add flavoring components that increase the degree of physiological assimilation of products, and hence the subsequent effectiveness of their metabolic action.

An object of the invention is to expand the assortment of functional food products by obtaining a mineral-containing functional food product.

The technical result of the invention is to obtain a composition of mineral-containing food product of functional purpose, which helps optimize skeletal mineralization in childhood, normalizes the musculoskeletal system, accelerates recovery processes in the body in the post-traumatic period, improves immunity and ensures the prevention of osteoporosis in gerontological nutrition due to easily digestible macro - and trace elements and biologically active substances of natural oiskhozhdeniya.

The problem is solved by developing a composition of mineral-containing food product of functional purpose, consisting of crushed egg shells, citric acid and vitamin C, in which crushed egg shells are contained in suspension with freshly made lemon juice in a ratio of 1: 2.5-1: 4 and characterized in that it further comprises honey, squeezed juice of Echinacea herb. This complex promotes easy dissolution and an increase in the degree of assimilation of the mineral elements contained in the eggshell in the intestine, allows to achieve positive functional changes in the musculoskeletal system and increase the nonspecific resistance of the body.

The chemical composition of the developed functional mineral-containing food product includes minerals in optimal quantities and a balanced ratio: Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Na, K, Mn, S, citric acid, vitamin C, simple carbohydrates, essential oils, phytosterols, dietary fiber (cellulose, pectin), which improve intestinal motility and inhibit the development of pathogenic microflora in it. As a preservative, 40-60% ethyl alcohol is used with a ratio of 1: 6.5-1: 7 in the composition. The optimally selected, balanced chemical composition of the claimed product ensures its high biological activity and ergogenic properties.

The energy value of the food product is 50-65 kcal / 100 g. The advantages of the developed functional food product in comparison with the analogue are:

1. The components of natural origin that are part of the developed product, which ensures its high biological activity.

2. The complex of macro- and microelements with citric and ascorbic acids helps to increase the degree of digestibility of mineral components contained in the developed food product for the functional purpose of the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey included in the developed composition give the product good organoleptic properties.

4. The native components of the Echinacea herb have bactericidal properties, and ballast substances (pectin, cellulose) improve intestinal activity and inhibit the development of pathogenic microflora in it.

5. Increases the immune properties of the body.

6. Accelerates the recovery processes in the post-traumatic period, after infectious and inflammatory diseases.

7. It can be used in baby food for the optimal course of ossification of the skeleton, as well as in disorders of the musculoskeletal system and in gerontological nutrition for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Our experimental studies have shown that obtaining a functional product of the claimed composition allows not only to preserve, but also significantly enhance all biologically active properties of the natural components contained in it. As experiments have shown, the native components included in the product not only improve organoleptic properties, but also increase its functional purpose. A correctly selected, balanced chemical composition of the developed product does not lead to a loss of the biological activity of honey and echinacea, improves the organoleptic characteristics of the finished product and allows it to be easily absorbed by the body.

The effectiveness of the use of a mineral-containing functional product was assessed based on the study of individual indicators of mineral metabolism, namely, the degree of excretion of K, Mg, Na, Ca, and P with urine was determined before taking the developed product and immediately after the course. The research results showed that the use of the developed product significantly contributed to reducing the loss of the studied mineral elements by the body. A particularly distinct leveling effect was manifested when determining the excretion of P ₂ O ₂ and total phosphorus in the urine of preschool children of the experimental group, which was 60.0% and 48.0% respectively lower after course administration of the claimed product (table 1).

At the same time, the results of testing the level of physical fitness of children with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system against the background of the course intake of the claimed mineral-containing food product of functional purpose revealed significant improvements in their musculoskeletal system, manifested in a significant increase in indicators characterizing such motor qualities as endurance, speed-strength endurance, strength, coordination abilities (table 2).

The inventive product and its production method is illustrated by examples in which organoleptic characteristics and chemical composition were used as criteria for their effectiveness.
