NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND CONSUMER PROPERTIES OF THE CARPATHIAN RAMSON

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the chemical composition and consumer properties of the ramson that grows on the territory of the Carpathians. It was found that the content of sugar in leaves is 2.59-3.49%, onions - 1.76-2.18 %, organic acids - 0.12-0.19 %, pectin substances - 1.06-1.27 %, ash - 0,94-1,12 %, vitamin C - 16,99-19,83 %. Data on qualitative composition of sugars, organic acids, mineral substances are given. The study of the nutritional value and the chemical composition of the ramson has shown that it is a valuable source of biologically active substances that enriches the human organism in the spring. Further research involves researching different ways of storing a ramson, using modern packaging materials, studying changes in the chemical composition while storing, expanding the range of products of its processing.
