<i>NUTRIENT COMPOSITION AND SAFETY INDICATORS OF NEW TYPES OF FOOD</i>
The mineral composition and safety indicators of six versions of multicomponent mixtures balanced by the main biologically and physiologically active components were studied. Content of mineral substances potassium, calcium, sodium, and toxic mineral elements - lead and cadmium - was determined by atomic absorption method, iodine was identified potentiometrically using an iodoselective electrode. Each macro- and microelement responded to rapid freezing and storage according to its individual features. In all versions of the mixtures, the mineral complex changed little at the end of the experiment, which makes it possible to recommend them to fill the mineral deficiency in the human diet. All six variants of mixtures on toxic compound content and microbiological indicators met the requirements of Technical Regulations of the Customs Union 021/2011. The rate of satisfaction of the daily demand for certain minerals for an adult body, when using 250 g of mixtures is more than 15%, therefore they can be attributed to food of functional orientation.
