Development of technology liver pate of high nutritional value

Abstract

Data are given by nutrition experts emphasizes the need to develop and implement products enriched with protein content of animal and vegetable origin to the production. They are rich in high biologically active substances. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to provide scientific grounding for using recipes and technologies of nutrition-enriched pates on the basis of chicken liver with pumpkin and walnuts. It enables to enrich the product with carotinoids, dietary fibres, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals. Generally accepted standardized methodologies of identifying physical and chemical, organoleptic and microbiological indexes are used during the study. Four experimental recipes of pates containing chicken liver, 10…40 % of muscat pumpkin puree, 10 % of walnuts squash, onion, milk and sunflower oil were developed. The developed samples of pate are characterized by high nutritional value due to high protein content (12..18 %), beta carotene content (1,85…7,28 mg/100 g), dietary fibres (1,07…1,72 %), digestible fats. It has been confirmed by experimental data. The given samples of pate have the best original appearance, colour, succulence, taste and smell, optimum consistency. It has been proven that level of acids and peroxides in experimental samples increased slower than in control sample. This is due to the existence of vegetable origin antioxidants (pumpkin, walnuts, sunflower oil) in the improved pates. Pates are characterized by stable microbiological indexes under permitted rates during 48 hours of storage in a refrigerated state. Thus, the author comes to the conclusion that developed liver pates have high nutritional value and consumer properties. This fact enables to recommend them as for restaurants and everyday consumption for various sections of the population.
