According to the results of the physic-chemical research the composition of new isotonic rehydrating beverage has been presented and its nutritional and energy value has been calculated. As opposed to other sport drinks of this kind, a part of water in the new product is substituted by whey. From the physic-chemical standpoint whey is a complicated dispersed system in which hydrated proteins are in the form of colloidal solution, lipids are finely emulsified lipoprotein particles, carbohydrate and mineral components are close to the composition in the whole milk. Natural milk whey complex of macro- and trace elements (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, zinc, copper, selenium, etc.), most of which are in chelated form, have high biological value and bioavailability for humans. The content of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids of whey increases the nutritional value of the beverage. Natural sugar syrups--containing of lingonberry, cranberry and rosehip were used to flavor the drink. The new beverage osmolarity is in the limits of 280-350 mmole/l, which allows classifying it as an isotonic sport drink. Natural ingredients and moderate carbohydrate, lipid content, and relatively low energy value enable to recommend this beverage to the athletes of any specialization without any restrictions. |
