Quality and Nutritional Value of Pasteured Milk Enriched by Selenium and Vitamins

Abstract

The aim of our research was to study the complex effect of selenium-containing supplements and vitamin premixture on the quality and nutritional value of enriched pasteurized milk. We established for the first time that the combined introduction of selexen and a vitamin premixture 963/7 into the composition of pasteurized milk in the concentrations understudy makes it possible to preserve the flavor and aromatic properties of the product when stored in a cooled state and to reduce the rate of growth of titrated acidity and the number of mesophilic microflora, psychotropic micrococci, vegetative forms of spore-forming aerobic bacilli with a slight increase in the number of lactobacilli and thermophilic streptococcus. Using a dietary ratio of 200 ml of enriched milk will meet the need for an adult in the following micronutrients (%): selenium – 46, vitamins В₅ – 42, В₆ – 34, РР – 28, С – 23–22, В₉ – 21.
