The article describes a method for obtaining traditional koumiss and provides a scheme for preparing pectin-containing koumiss. It was found that due to the addition of liquid Apple pectin in the studied form of koumiss, there is a significant excess of vitamin C and protein content in comparison with traditional koumiss. Preclinical experiments were conducted on laboratory white rats with cadmium intoxication in order to identify the detoxification properties and safety of the obtained pectin-containing koumiss. It is shown that pectin containing koumiss had a positive effect on blood parameters and contributed to improving the general condition of the studied animals, which allows using this type of koumiss as a functional therapeutic and prophylactic drug for poisoned with heavy metals living organisms.
