Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is related to high economic value of strawberries for the Republic of Dagestan. The total area of strawberry cultivation exceeds 700 hectares. while complex biochemical composition, fine flavor and nutritional value of this culture offer the possibility to use it for production of various multicomponent food items. This study was aimed at developing frozen derivative products packed in glass jars holding 500 g. and loose berries in polystyrene packaging holding 250-300 g. with the freezing temperature of -40°C and the storing temperature of -18° . The central method of studies was implementation of freezing as being the most efficient method of conservation of the food products allowing to maintain the highest taste and flavor qualities of the resulting products. As a result, considering the examined derivative products we observed high content of vitamin C in the fresh berries of the following cultivars: Gigantella (73.9 mg%). Lord (77.5 mg%) and Victoria (73.7 mg%). Subsequent storing resulted in minor losses of vitamins. After 10 months of storing, decrease in the content of vitamin C reached from 10.1% to 15.4% was observed. The samples had an extensive and diverse range of constituents providing nutritional and biological value. The rates of preservation of the biochemical composition of the strawberries during the low-temperature storing ranged from 60% to 80% in different cultivars. We observed minor losses of vitamin C in all the derivative products from 3% to 35%. as compared to the initial content. The data provided in the study may be useful for the food industry workers, for agriculture and for general public as these products are of high nutritional quality with a broad spectrum of vitamins, macro- and microelements.
