The article presents results of research of quality,
safety and content of biologically active substances of
food red beet roots of Bordo 237 variety, grown in the
Krasnodar region in 2014. On the basis of the research
carried out it was established, that there are
carbohydrates, proteins, organic acids and mineral
substances in the food red beet roots of Bordo 237
variety. Food red beet roots are a source of dietary
fibers (pectin, protopectin, hemicelluloses and
cellulose), possessing antitoxic, antioxidant, radiation
protective, cholesterol-lowering and lipid correcting
qualities, and also a source of vitamins C, B9 (folic
acid) and P-active substances, possessing antioxidant
properties. Due to high content in food red beet of a
complex of microelements – iron, zinc, manganese and
copper, and a complex of macro elements – potassium
and magnesium, it can be recommended for
prophylaxis and treatment of hypertension,
atherosclerosis and other diseases of heart and vascular
system, and for prophylaxis of iron-deficiency anemia.
Thus, the research of quality, safety and content of
biologically active substances showed that food red
beet roots of Bordo 237 variety are a high quality component ingredient for creation of food products of
specialized and functional purpose
