The study was prepared on the materials of the archives of St. Petersburg, considered from the position of the social history of medicine, which is centered on the study of medical practice. <b>Results</b>. In the blockaded Leningrad under the conditions of food, electricity, and water supply shortages, there was a forced abandonment of a number of principles of infant feeding generally recognized by the pediatricians. Almost all infants born in the blockade ring were transferred to artificial feeding with the release of infant formula through milk kitchens. In conditions of food shortages, children under the age of three were also provided with centralized milk products. The activities of the staff of the milk kitchens were carried out in close contact with doctors of regional children's consultations and specialists of the Leningrad Pediatric Institute, who developed issues of rational nutrition for infants. During the blockade years, the formulae developed before the war were generally retained, but due to the lack of dairy resources, vegetable products were used as substitutes. As the food situation in the city improved, doctors and milk kitchens reverted to pre-war recipes, especially for infant nutrition. The products of the milk kitchens were subject to constant supervision by sanitary physicians. Laboratory tests indicated that, in terms of basic microbiological indicators, infant formulae were generally safe and differed slightly from those produced before the war. <b>Conclusion</b>. In blockaded Leningrad (especially during the winter of 1941/1942), the products of dairy kitchens served, as a rule, as the only source of nutrition for infants.

Studies have shown that lifestyle and heredity are considered as reliably strong predictors of the obesity risk.

Of concern is the fact that, due to normal body weight, this category of persons remains out of sight of healthcare and, accordingly, appropriate preventive measures will not be taken. With regard to genetic risk factors for obesity, in some patients, gene mutations may not manifest themselves throughout life, and when detected, they may not always be the cause of obesity, being the result of individual variability. Recent decades have been characterized by the popularity of «nudge theory,» but the need for additional research to determine optimal combinations and contexts to encourage the right choice has been noted. The ambiguity of the results obtained is due to the fact that in modern society an environment has been created that is set up quite aggressively to the principles of optimal nutrition. <b>Conclusion</b>.

As a source of fucoxanthin, an oil extract from the thallom (stratum) of the annual Undaria pinnatifida brown algae was used, obtained by re-extraction with soy oil for 8 hours from a glycerin extract (extractant - 60% glycerin solution, the duration of the process - 8 h). The determination of organoleptic parameters was carried out at a temperature of 20 °C 12 h after manufacture using standard methods. Organoleptic parameters were determined in the following sequence: consistency, appearance, color, smell, taste. Physical and chemical characteristics (mass content of fat, moisture, egg products in terms of dry yolk, acidity in terms of acetic acid, emulsion stability), acid and peroxide values were studied by standard methods. Fatty acid analysis of lipids was performed by gas-liquid chromatography. The fucoxanthin content was determined by spectrophotometric method. <b>Results</b>. The presented formulations of lipid compositions as the fat base of specialized oil-fat emulsion food systems for the prevention of hyperlipidemia and obesity included Schizochytrium sp. microalgae oil in a mass fraction of 3-6% as a source of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids). An oil extract of U. pinnatifida brown algae in a mass fraction of 48-54% was used as a source of fucoxanthin. The total content of PUFA was significantly high - at least 73%, ω-6 PUFA prevailed (48.0-49.1%). However, the high content of ω-3 PUFA (at least 25%) should be also noted. The ratio of ω-3 to ω-6 PUFA was 1:1.72-1:1.90, which is atypical for individual vegetable oils traditionally used as the fat phase in fat-and-oil emulsion systems. The fucoxanthin content in the presented lipid compositions was 6.4-7.2 mg/100 ml. Edible fat-and-oil emulsion food systems for the prevention of hyperlipidemia and obesity (mayonnaise and mayonnaise sauces) with a given ratio of ω-3:ω-6 PUFA containing eicosopentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, as well as fucoxanthin, have been obtained.

Biomass of A. platensis and its aqueous extracts are used as a source of bioactive compounds, primarily phycocyanins which are protein macromolecules that largely determine the antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of this cyanobacterium. The chromophore part of phycocyanin is photo- and thermolabile and can undergo restructuring, as a result of which phycocyanin loses its biological value. Various food proteins can be used to protect chromophoric compounds. In this work, two types of proteins (whey and egg proteins) were studied in the complex with phycocyanin. &lt;b&gt;The aim&lt;/b&gt; of the study was to identify the heat-protective effect of egg and milk proteins in relation to phycocyanin by using colorimetric method and differential scanning calorimetry. &lt;b&gt;Material and methods&lt;/b&gt;. Food sodium caseinate, whey protein concentrate, unfractionated edible egg white and phycocyanin concentrate were used as research objects. Combinations of phycocyanin with proteins were prepared by mixing equal volumes of 1% aqueous solutions, followed by thermostatting the mixtures at a temperature of (28±0.5) °C for 60 minutes in an incubator shaker at a stirring speed of 100 rpm. Studies of the thermodynamic characteristics of the samples separately and in combination with phycocyanin were carried out using differential scanning calorimetry by heating of the samples from 25 to 200 °C at a rate of 5 °C/min. The color change of phycocyanin solutions during storage for 20 min at a temperature of 50 °C was assessed by spectrocolorimetry. &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;. The most pronounced low-temperature endothermic effect (peak at 60 °C) was detected in the whey protein concentrate. The ovalbumin had a small thermal effect at 70 and 100 °C, while the sodium caseinate had a small thermal effect at 132 °C. The dry phycocyanin sample had two peaks at 80 and 121 °C and the onset of thermal degradation at 65 °C. The destruction temperature of the sodium caseinate solution was 100.8±1.3 °C, for the whey protein concentrate solution - 113.7±0.8 °C. The aqueous solution of phycocyanin had a thermal effect peak at 103.3±1.7 °C. Mixing phycocyanin with the studied edible proteins resulted in changes in the peak degradation temperatures. The most noticeable decrease was observed for ovalbumin in complex with phycocyanin (at 101.9±1.9 °C), indicating a decrease in the thermal stability of phycocyanin in the presence of this protein. The combination of phycocyanin with whey protein concentrate led to a significant increase in the destruction temperature (at 112.0±2.1 °C). In terms of color index, solutions of phycocyanin complexes with proteins differed significantly from an aqueous solution of phycocyanin. The samples had threshold values for color tolerance (ΔE) in the range of 2 units, that is they were visually distinguishable immediately after prepar","PeriodicalId":23652,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy pitaniia","volume":"93 6","pages":"84-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143068362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the promising antioxidants are anthocyanins which belong to polyphenolic compounds of plant origin (class of flavonoids). <b>The purpose</b> of the research was to analyze the results of prospective controlled studies on the effect of anthocyanins on physical performance, and to consider the possible molecular mechanisms of their action. <b>Material and methods</b>. Sources were searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, and CyberLeninka databases of peer-reviewed scientific literature without restrictions on the year of publication using the following keywords: anthocyanins, physical performance, recovery, sport and exercise nutrition, oxidative stress, inflammation. <b>Results</b>. The main data set on the effects of anthocyanins in athletes was obtained using extracts of blackcurrant and Montmorency tart cherry. Volunteers received anthocyanins at a dose of 86-547 mg per day for 1 to 10 days with subsequent evaluation of their performance in cycling, running and fitness activities. The possibility of favorable effect of anthocyanins on physical performance and acceleration of its recovery after exertion has been shown. The source, dose and duration of intake did not significantly influence the established effects of anthocyanins. Acting as exogenous regulators of metabolism, anthocyanins can activate several mechanisms of performance enhancement, including influence on antioxidant and immune status and apoptosis intensity. Anthocyanins prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species, neutralize electrophilic compounds by direct interaction or through activation of Nrf2 factor, which regulates the transcription of antioxidant enzyme genes. The basis of the anti-inflammatory action of anthocyanins is their ability to inhibit MARK and NF-κB mediated signal transduction. Inclusion of bilberry and blackcurrant extract in the diet prevented the intensification of myocyte apoptosis and suppression of cellular immunity induced by exhausting exercise. An additional mechanism of anthocyanin action on physical performance may be an increase in blood supply of organs and tissues due to vascular dilation caused by activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. <b>Conclusion</b>. The intake of plant extracts with a high anthocyanin content can increase physical performance and improve recovery after physical exertion, which may be due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of anthocyanins, their ability to regulate apoptosis processes and improve blood supply to organs and tissues.</p>","PeriodicalId":23652,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy pitaniia","volume":"93 3","pages":"5-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141724521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
