MODIFICATION OF THE RECIPE AND QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF ENRICHED BREAD

Abstract

Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining human health, providing the primary source of nutrients and biologically active substances necessary for normal bodily function. Numerous scientific studies have noted that the country’s diets are unsystematic and unbalanced. Results of mass surveys of various population groups in the Russian Federation confirm widespread deficiencies in several vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and polyunsaturated fatty acids among the majority of children and adults. B vitamin deficiencies are found in 30-70% of surveyed individuals, vitamin C deficiencies in 60-80%, folate deficiencies in 40-80%, and carotene deficiency in over 40%. Furthermore, excessive consumption of sugar, table salt, saturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acids is observed. All of this leads to an increased risk of developing nutrition-related diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others. Replenishing the balance of essential vitamins, minerals, micro- and macroelements can be achieved through a balanced diet and the consumption of functional foods.
