In recent years, the problem of deficiency of biologically active substances in a number of food products has arisen. This is due to a deterioration in the quality of seed and planting material and, accordingly, a decrease in the content of BAS in the cultivated fruit and vegetable raw materials. In this regard, processing companies are forced to fill the lack of vitamins and dyes with synthetic components. The aim of the research is to obtain concentrated food additives from domestic plant raw materials. To achieve this goal, the tasks of obtaining powders from fruits and berries are solved with maximum preservation of BAS of the raw material during drying. High-quality powders from fruits and berries are obtained by cryogenic technology, using liquid nitrogen at one or several stages of the process. As intermediate results of the research, the paper presents materials on the dispersion composition of cryopowders and the solubility of their various fractions in aqueous media. The technology of obtaining and using powdered food additives from fruits and berries, ground in liquid nitrogen, has been approved. The comparative characteristics of the composition cryopowders from apricot, sea-buckthorn, pumpkin, feijoa and persimmon are given. The results of the studies confirmed the expediency of using cryopowders from fruits and berries to enrich various food products

Recipe and diet of people engaged in mental activities determine the peculiarities of their lifestyle. It relates to sedentary lifestyle, sitting position, high stress loads. Features of the lifestyle of this population require the application of the fundamental laws of nutrition and a careful calculation of physiological needs in nutrients. Relatively small muscle load and the habit of high calorie food leads to weight gain, obesity and diseases of the cardiovascular system. Based on biomedical research and analysis of respondents’ data, we have formulated basic requirements for the development of biologically safe food products for people engaged in mental work. The article also assesses the chemical composition of the animal and vegetable raw materials grown in the Kuban. We have developed a technology of fish and fish products and meat and cereal canned food for people engaged in mental work. As a result of experimental and analytical studies, we have substantiated the composition of food and medicinal plants for obtaining antioxidant complex. We have also developed a CO2-technology for production of the antioxidant complex
