PROSPECTS FOR THE APPLICATION OF TAXIFOLIN BASED NANOEMULSIONS AS A PART OF SPORT NUTRITION PRODUCTS

Abstract

Aim. The article deals with the analysis of the effect of sport nutrition products enriched by taxifolin encapsulated into nanoemulsion on people involved in low-intensity sports for forecasting changes in homeostasis. Materials and methods. 3 groups of volunteers aged 25–35 (n = 30) and involved in sports on a regular basis (low-intensity training, 2 times per week) participated in a placebo-controlled study. The extract and nanoemulsion of taxifolin were used as antioxidants. To estimate the effect of enriched products on homeostasis, we performed a non-invasive study of hematological and biochemical indicators. Results. This paper demonstrates the results of the study of oil-water emulsions obtained with ultrasonic treatment for the encapsulation of biologically active substance – taxifolin – to improve and preserve its bioactive properties. We conducted an analysis of metabolism after the inclusion of taxifolin-enriched products in a diet. We established that the inclusion of taxifolin-enriched products does not result in worsening of lipid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. Conclusion. The paper demonstrates the reason for the inclusion of products enriched with taxifolin encapsulated into nanoemulsion in the diet of people involved in low-intensity sports for minimizing the risk of oxidative stress and providing homeostasis regulation.
