Carbohydrate of Fruits Acca Sellowiana (O. Berg)

Abstract

From the points of view of modern recommendations on the normalization of physiological needs in biologically active substances in the theory of rational nutrition, special attention is paid to the use in the diet of the population of fruits of subtropical cultures and products of their processing. Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) (feijoa) fruits growing in the Republic of Azerbaijan are predominant among these cultures. These citrus fruits by taste, nutrition, and also by their medicinal properties are raw materials for the production of various types of food products from them in the industrial level. As studies on the chemical composition of feijoa fruits show, they contain various multicomponent chemical substances that determine the biological value of this raw material. Basically, the number of the main role belongs to carbohydrates. A qualitative and quantitative study of the carbohydrates of these fruits once again are showed their importance in nutrition of the population. The fractional composition of carbohydrates is represented by glucose, fructose, sucrose, galactose, rhamnose. xylose and arabinose were detected as pentoses. It should be noted that glucose and galactose is present in all fractional formulations of the carbohydrate complex, but glucose predominates in terms of quantity. The final products of this composition were beta-D-cellulose, lignin and minerals. Along with this, the sensory properties of fruits-consistency and storage stability are determined by the content of individual fractions of carbohydrates, and their structural features. The taste of tropical crops in feijoa fruits is formed due to a peculiar combination of organic acids, carbohydrates, polyphenols, minerals. According to the fractional composition of carbohydrates in combination with other chemical components, the fruits of feijoa can act as a source of raw materials in the production of canned food for dietary and children purposes.
