MEDICINAL PLANT HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES: BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR USE IN FOOD PRODUCTS
Abstract
This article highlights the rich composition of medicinal plants in biologically active compounds and the prospects for their application in the food industry. The positive effects of flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, essential oils, vitamins, and minerals contained in medicinal plants on human health are analyzed based on scientific sources. In addition, the prospects for using extracts obtained from plants belonging to the Hippophae rhamnoides family in the production of canned food products are evaluated. The significance of medicinal plants as natural antioxidants and preservatives, their role in extending product shelf life, improving quality indicators, and ensuring food safety has been studied.
