INFLUENCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS ON JELLY PRODUCTS BASED ON JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE

Abstract

The antioxidant properties of vegetable products were identified using physical and chemical methods based on the concentrate of Jerusalem artichoke. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing, and there is a growing interest in developing modern pharmacological agents with an improved mechanism of action that can effectively treat this disease while having minimal adverse effects. Therefore, current pharmacology pays much attention to the development of anti-diabetic drugs based on the natural or synthetic compounds, as well as improving the efficacy of already used drugs with minimal side effects. To this end, a group of drugs has been developed for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aimed at reducing blood sugar levels. However, the use of these drugs can cause adverse effects due to their negative impact on the human body. Therefore, the development of synthetic drugs based on the concentrate of Jerusalem artichoke, as well as the production of drugs from natural compounds, is of great importance not only for modern biology, but also for pharmacology, pharmaceutical science, endocrinology, nutrition, and public health. The use of natural compounds in medicine is widespread due to the fact that they have a broad spectrum of action and a significant impact on human health, including hypoglycemic effects. Therefore, the development of natural drugs is of great importance for biological research. The study showed that the use of Jerusalem artichoke-based vegetable products can effectively improve the antioxidant properties of these products, preserve their organoleptic properties, and preserve the microelements in their composition
