Abstract

Multifunctional complex food food supplements that simplify and accelerate the process of food production have the great importance in the meat processing industry. The aim of the study was to identify the quality of complex food supplements produced by LLC Kulmbach-D. It was found that the compositions "Aroma Perfect", "Grill combi PF", "Hickory" and "Garlic 1:6" in terms of organoleptic and physicochemical indicators correspond to the regulated requirements. The composition of the supplement "Garlic 1:6" revealed the presence of table salt, which was not declared by the manufacturer. Dietary fiber was found in all supplements. The sample "Garlic 1:6" differs from other complex supplements by the increased content of Al, Li, Mg, P, Si, Sr, Te, as well as the presence of Mo, Ti, V, W. The supplement "Hickory" has relatively high amounts of Ca, Cr and Fe, but does not contain Si, declared by the manufacturer in the composition of E551. The composition "Grill combi PF" contents of Mn, Na and Zn, "Aroma Perfect" - Cu. It is important to note the presence of flavor and aroma enhancers E627 and E631 in "Aroma Perfect", as well as stabilizer and emulsifier E450 in "Grill combi PF". According to a number of specialists, these components are harmful and can cause disorders of the intestines and stomach. In this regard, it is necessary to understand which food additives need to be excluded from the personal diet, which are especially dangerous, and which can be used from time to time in small quantities as part of meat products.
