Pectin-containing phytodrinks of adaptogenic action as an essential factor of development of sustainable systems of agrarian-and-food production

Abstract

Abstract This article presents the results of research on samples of raw materials for the production of phytodrinks: hawthorn, Chinese lemongrass, rosehip, mountain ash, a mixture of mint and thyme leaves. The content of pectin substances, vitamins, micro and macronutrients, and the mass concentration of polyphenolic compounds were determined. Based on the obtained data, phytodrinks of the PHYTO PECTO series were developed and studied, containing liquid apple pectin, extracts from the studied fruits, stevia extract, mint and thyme leaf extract. The obtained results prove that the developed samples of phytodrinks contain a high amount of biologically active compounds and can be recommended for the diet of modern humans.
