Competitive ability indicators of emulsion-type sauces (ETS)with added dietary supplements (DS) «Syvoselen Plus» and «Neoselen» were investigated and identified.Indicators of quality models of ETS enriched with organic seleniumcompounds were calculated, and a comprehensive quality assessmentof new products with the emulsion structure was carried out.Competitive ability, prospects for production and sales of selenium-enriched emulsion sauces were determined.It was found that the practical implementation of the proposedmethod for qualimetric calculation of competitive ability indicatorsof new recreational ETS, which meet the requirements of time andconsumers, shows the feasibility of its application for assessing theprospects for production and sales of new products. So, mayonnaise«Selenoviy» with DS «Neoselen» is a highly promising product whichhas the highest integrated quality indicator, cost-effective level of cost,patent protection and consumer satisfaction compared to the controlsample and mayonnaise «Selenoviy» with DS «Syvoselen Plus».The aforesaid causes particular scientific interest as one of thepossible ways for obtaining recreational products is the enrichmentwith protein-mineral complexes that form the basis of DS. «SyvoselenPlus» and «Neoselen» contain organic selenium compounds,which are the product of chemical adsorption of selenium ions Se2-by globular whey proteins. DS can be used not only as a source of theabove nutrient but also as an emulsifier of dispersed systems such asmayonnaise. Their introduction to the ETS recipe does not adverselyaffect the organoleptic quality indicators, enhances emulsion stability,increases the amount of organic selenium. Therefore, research ofcompetitive ability of selenium-enriched ETS is important.
