Abstract
The development of technologies for new beverages enriched with biologically active substances, which best meets the criteria of quality and safety is an urgent problem. The aim of the work is to analyze the data of literature sources, which are devoted to research on food production using black elderberry (Sambucus nigra). Juices or drinks that are currently on the shelves of Ukrainian stores are usually made mostly from berries, vegetables or fruits. Elderberry has a wide range of healing properties. Current research shows that drugs based on elderberry help in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help with colds and flu, increase immunity, solve many other health problems. Almost all parts of this unique plant are used as medicines: flowers, berries, leaves, bark, roots and branches. Scientists, food experts and D-rs recommend the use of products made from black elderberry. Data from literature sources on the mineral and vitamin value of elderberry allow us to consider it one of the most valuable and promising foods. However, biologically active substances do not provide the human body with energy and plastic material, but optimize and control certain physiological functions, thousands of biochemical reactions, help maintain and improve health, reduce the risk of disease and accelerate recovery, protect the body from adverse environmental factors. The results of the analytical review. The literature data on the usefulness of black elderberry for the human body are analyzed and generalized. The chemical composition and nutritional value, as well as the use of black elderberry in medical practice have been studied. The article presents recipes for healthy dishes and drinks based on black elderberry. The conclusion is made about the urgency of developing new types of food industry products using black elderberry, enriched with biologically active substances, which would best meet the criteria of quality and safety.
Keywords: black elderberry, therapeutic effect, nutritional value, mineral elements, vitamins
