Abstract. In this article, it is proposed to create a recipe and technology for
creating functional food products based on safflower oil with the goal of
increasing their culinary value, improving organoleptic and physico-
chemical indicators. In the quality of cheese at the production of functional
pishchevye emulsion (mayonnaise), it is necessary to use the safflower oil,
which is based on the analysis of its pishchevye value and nutritional
adequacy of the norms of preventive nutrition. There are ingredients, such
as fiber, in the first place, which are necessary for the functioning of the
human body. The introduction of fiber increases the yield and biological
value of products, improves technological quality, as well as their
organoleptic characteristics.
1 Introduction
In this article, it is proposed to create a recipe and technology for creating functional food
products based on safflower oil with the goal of increasing their culinary value, improving
organoleptic and physico-chemical indicators.
Mayonnaise is one of the most necessary products of domestic cuisine in the diet of
Russia: it is used as home cooking in quality to improve the quality of food, so and in public
dishes in natural and thermally processed foods [1,2]. Mayonnaise in the greater part of the
body is formed by straight concentrated emulsions. Emulsions are included in the class of
dispersed systems, which consist of highly unstable compounds, where one substance has
been distributed in other parts of the chapel. Such systems consist of two phases: dispersed
and non-dispersed [3,4,5].In the quality of cheese at the production of functional pishchevoy
emulsion (mayonnaise), it is necessary to use the safflower oil, which is based on the analysis
of its pishchevoy price and nutritional adequacy of the norms of preventive consumption [6].
The safflower oil is used for low-fat and olive oil, which is used in culinary purposes for the
preparation of margarine, spreads and mayonnaise. The safflower oil is absorbed by the lungs
and many inhospitable tissues [7]. It is a particular dietary product for people who suffer from
severe obesity [8, 9, 10]. Zubkovym V. V. [4, 8] the prospects for the use of safflower oil in
culinary and pharmaceutical industry are studied. It is worth noting that the safflower oil
costs a lot of unnecessary ingredients and elements, the properties of which are very high to
penetrate and penetrate deeply into the epidermis. The benefit of vitamin K, the content of

safflower is shown by the number of fat cells, as the active growth of the environment, the
density of capillaries and SPT [11]. According to his studies, a high-quality structure
presents such a complex of red meat, which is covered with linoleum (78.5%), which made
it possible to assume the quality of the safflower oil of biological activity, as well as
hypocholesterolemic, which it is a promising product for use in scientific medical practice.
According to the research of the Kazakh National Medical University. S. D. Asfendiyarov
[12] added that the consumption of safflower in semen is analogous to olive oil and includes
72% of linoleic acid and half of anti-toxic serotonin. It is recommended to use the safflower
oil in the quality of the antioxidant. Beneficially affects the high content of vitamin C, the
content of trace elements in the body, as a result, the activation of the environment, the
structural growth and the structure of capillaries and the wind-sensitive tract [11,13,14]. The
analysis was carried out from the family of saflora, as the three foreign parties of the family
of two different varieties of low-grade and high-grade varieties, recruited in the work of
Australian students, which is aimed at ensuring the safety of red meat. Linoleic kisloty is 75.3
%, omega-3 Red kisloty - 0.2 %, omega-6 Red kisloty - 75.3 %, omega-9 Red kisloty - 13.2
%. The research of the red-hot sector is being carried out in the region of the safflower Almaty
technological university bulletin. 2019. №2. 18 masla 93% mononenasylot, 1.5%
polynenasyl and 4% nasylasyl [15,16,17].
Thus, the actual direction of research is the development of recipes, technology
improvement and the study of consumer properties of new food products using vegetable oils
with physiological and technologically valuable properties. To achieve this goal, the
development of functional food products based on safflower oil, the following tasks were
solved: to investigate the fatty acid composition of safflower oil; to analyze the nutritional
values of soy fiber and mustard powder; to investigate the organoleptic parameters of the
developed mayonnaise recipe.
2 Materials and methods of research
Safflower oil, soy fiber, mustard powder and other ingredients were selected as research
materials [18,19,20].
Safflower seeds are a unique natural source of protein (up to 17%), oil (up to 37%) and a
number of valuable macro- and micro-components [21]
Soy fiber is a product made from low-fat soy flour [22]. Despite the fact that fiber is a
by-product at the stage of soy isolate production, its technological purpose in the food
industry has great potential. Soy fiber is both a fat-emulsifying and moisture-binding
ingredient in a food product [23]. Such a functional and technological advantage can be found
perhaps only in this product (soy fiber). Due to the relatively high content of dietary fiber,
high protein content, soy fiber is widely used in the food industry. It is used as a neutral filler.
Also, soy fiber has already established itself as a low-calorie prebiotic and has a high
nutritional value [24]. Mustard powder is a product obtained by processing mustard grains
[25]. Mustard powder has a powdery structure, a rich mustard shade of color, a subtle spicy
aroma and a burning taste. The product is used as a basis for creating mustard sauce,
marinades [26].
We have proposed the development of formulations of water-oil food (oxystable)
vegetable compositions and emulsions based on the analysis of fatty acid composition.
Most foods may not contain a complete set of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, it is
important to eat a variety of foods to fill the body's needs for vitamins and minerals. [27].
Knowing the contribution of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to caloric content, it is
possible to understand how the product or diet meets the norms of a healthy diet or the
requirements of a certain diet. For example, the US and Russian Ministries of Health

recommend getting 10-12% of calories from proteins, 30% from fats and 58 -60% from
carbohydrates. [28].
The new product was developed at the Department of "Technology and Standardization",
JSC "Kazakh University of Technology and Business", a study of the fatty acid composition
of the developed 20 samples of water-oil food (oxystable) plant compositions was conducted
in order to optimize the ratios.
Generally accepted methods were used to determine the fatty acid composition and
nutritional value of safflower oil and the developed emulsions and compositions [29].
Determination of the fatty acid composition of safflower oil was carried out by gas-liquid
chromatography [30].
3 Results
The physico-chemical parameters of the ingredients used and the emulsions developed were
determined in an accredited laboratory of the Scientific Research Institute of Food Safety of
Almaty Technological University. In table 2 . The fatty acid composition of safflower oil is

Based on the research carried out, a scientific and practical approach to the use of
safflower oil as the main raw material for the creation of water-oil emulsions (mayonnaise)
of various types has been developed and substantiated. Table 3 shows the recipe for
mayonnaise "Salat with safflower oil". Received a patent for utility model No. 7864 dated
03.03.2023. "Food emulsion for mayonnaise production".
The technological process of mayonnaise production provides for the creation of optimal
conditions that allow to obtain a homogeneous (close to homogeneous) and stable system of
components that are practically insoluble in each other (for example, water and oil) [31].
Emulsifiers are used to ensure the stability of emulsions. The emulsifier of classic
mayonnaise is mainly lecithin, the source of which is egg yolk. In our development, soy fiber
in a mass fraction of 2% was used as an emulsifier. Soy fiber is both a fat-emulsifying and
moisture-binding ingredient in the developed emulsion. Provides strong retention and
uniform distribution of moisture and fat throughout the volume in the structure of
mayonnaise. Mustard adds a little flavor, but also helps to keep the mayonnaise stable. Along
with soy paste, mustard helps to emulsify the mixture, reducing the risk of stratification of
our mayonnaise. Ascorbic acid 10% gives the mayonnaise an incredible taste, but also helps
to stabilize the mixture. Figure 1 shows mayonnaise developed according to our recipe.
Fig.1. Mayonnaise "Salad with safflower oil"
4 Conclusions
The analysis of organoleptic indicators shows that water-oil food emulsions (mayonnaise)
have high organoleptic indicators.
Developed technology for the production of water-oil food emulsions (mayonnaise) based
on safflower oil, they allow to expand the range of products obtained with high nutritional
value and improved consistency. The proposed formulation of mayonnaise allows you to
extend the shelf life, preserve the freshness and microbiological stability of the product by
reducing the activity of water and the absence of egg powder. The research results are
confirmed by the utility model patent No. 7864 dated 03.03.2023. "Food emulsion for
mayonnaise production".

The object of the study is the development of the formulation of gluten-free pasta using multivariate analysis. Celiac disease is a chronic disease characterized by damage to the small intestine mucosa by gluten, a plant protein found in cereals. Due to the growing incidence of celiac disease, it became necessary to provide patients with gluten-free products for life. One of the basic gluten-free products for people is pasta. Therefore, there is a need to expand the range of gluten-free pasta. This development of gluten-free pasta provides for the use of combined flour mixtures from cereals. According to the results of the study, comparison and analysis of 8 gluten-free pasta formulations developed and optimized using multivariate analysis, it was found that the sample G has the best organoleptic indicators. Based on the results of the “recipe-price” optimization of the sample G, the optimal ratios of pasta components in terms of the competitiveness of the final product were determined. It was found that the most balanced in organoleptic characteristics is gluten-free pasta (sample G) consisting of: corn flour – 33.51 %; rice flour – 22.24 %; xanthan gum – 2.94 %, water – 41.15 %, table salt – 0.09 %. The results of the study can be useful in the development of pasta, taking into account the characteristics of the raw materials used, for consumers focused on food without allergenic proteins

The object of the study reported in this paper is to establish a dependence of the fatty acid composition of the fast-growing annual plant safflower on the agroclimatic cultivating conditions. The growth rate of safflower and the characteristics of the extracted oil are highly dependent on external temperature and moisture. At low temperatures, for example, the growth of safflower is significantly inhibited. With an increase in temperature and the length of daylight, the central stem begins to branch while growing faster. Flowering is mainly affected by the length of daylight. The period from the end of flowering to maturity is typically 28‒30 days. However, the total ripening period of the crop depends on the variety, location, sowing time, and agro-climatic cultivating conditions. The need for water increases significantly during the flowering period of safflower, which ultimately affects the indicators of the fatty acid composition and yield. At the same time, safflower is sensitive to moisture in terms of disease. In case of excess water, it is subject to root rot. In addition, frequent rains and high humidity after ripening can provoke the germination of seeds on the head. Hence, it follows that in order to obtain a high yield with the specified characteristics of the fatty acid composition of safflower oil, it is necessary to take into consideration the quantitative indicators of moisture and its seasonality, as well as the temperature regime during the growing season. The study was conducted using arid or semi-arid, sharply continental Central Asia with its hot summers and cold winters as an example. The dependence of the physicochemical parameters of plant-derived oils on agroclimatic indicators has been established. The reported results and conclusions will allow farmers to predict the yield of oilseeds with specified characteristics depending on the changing climatic parameters

The antioxidant properties of twelve phenolic compounds, including matairesinol 4′-o-β-D-glucoside, 8′-hydroxyarctigenin 4′-0-β-D-glucoside, matairesinol, 8′-hydroxyarctigenin, N-feruloylserotonin 5-O-β-D-glucoside, N-(p-coumaroyl)-serotonin-5-O- β-D-glucoside, N-feruloylserotonin, N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin, luteolin 7-o-β-D-glucoside, luteolin, acacetin 7-O-β-glucuronide, and acacetin, isolated from defatted safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seeds were evaluated with regard to the DPPH, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Additionally, levels of phenolic compounds were determined by HPLC in two cultivare of safflower seeds. Among them, four serotonin derivatives showed potent DPPH (IC 50=10.83-21.75 μM) and hydroxyl (IC50=75.93-374.63 μM) radical scavenging activities, and their activities were significantly stronger than that of α-tocopherol. Four flavonoids (IC 50=170.65-275.83 μM) and four lignans (IC50=114.22-406. 10 μM) exhibited significant superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, respectively, whereas these compounds contained less activity toward the DPPH and hydroxyl radicals than serotonin derivatives. The levels of serotonin derivatives, lignans and flavonoids in safflower seeds of two cultivars ranged from 49.30 to 260.40, 3.72 to 158.90, and 11.72 to 214.97 mg% (dry base), respectively. Of the two cultivars, 'Cheongsu' had somewthat higher concentrations of phenolic compounds than 'Uisan'. These results suggest that phenolic compounds in safflower seeds may play a role as protective phytochemical antioxidants against reactive oxygen-mediated pathological diseases.
Conference Paper
Germination of grain legumes is one of effective way possible to decrease high content of alpha-galactooligosaccharides, which undesirably affects the nutritive value and consumption of legumes. After 2 days of germination, the contents of a-galactooligosaccharides were reduced to 39% and 45% of original value. Germinated pea was then dried to final moisture content 12-14%. The very interesting results were obtained when microwave heating was used as preliminary treatment before hot air drying. The effect of microwave treatment is for shortening time and improvement of dried product. Contents of soluble carbohydrates (sucrose, raffinose, stachyose and verbascose), proteins and trypsin inhibitor activity were determined for the evaluation of microwave heating to chemical composition of germinated pea. Germinated pea was used for preparation of fresh vegetable salad and pea soups, and these pea meals were evaluated by sensory tests. Chemical composition of germinated pea is favourable from nutrition point of view. The acceptances of dishes from fresh and dried germinated pea according to sensory evaluation were high.

Phenolic compounds in food and plant materials belong to the simple phenols, phenolic acids, coumarins, flavonoids, stilbenes, tannins, lignans and lignins, all of which are considered as secondary plant metabolites. These compounds may be synthesized by plants during normal development or in response to stress conditions. Phenolics are not distributed uniformly in plants. Insoluble phenolics are components of cell walls while soluble ones are present in vacuoles. A cursory account of phenolics of cereals, beans, pulses, fruits, vegetables and oilseeds is provided in this overview. The information on the bioavailability and absorption of plant phenolics remains fragmentary and diverse. Pharmacological potentials of food phenolics ave extensively evaluated. However, there are many challenges that must be overcome in order to fully understand both the function of phenolics in plant as well as their health effects.

New three conjugated serotonins were isolated from safflower meal (carthamus tinctorius L.).On the basis of spectral properties and chemical evidence, their structures were determined as N-feruloylserotonin (4), N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin (5) and N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin mono-β-D-glucopyranoside (6). The known compounds, 2-hydroxyarctiin (2), matairesinol mono-β-D-glucoside (1) and acacetin (3) were also isolated and identified.
