FERMENTED DAIRY PRODUCT FOR SPORTS NUTRITION

Abstract

Abstract. Aim. The paper aims to develop a fermented goat and mare milk-based product and describe its composition and properties in the course of the experiment. Materials and methods. Our fermented mare and goat milk-based product enriched with soy protein isolate, low-molecular-weight peptides from mare's milk, maltodextrin, vitamins, macro and microelements, fucoidan, Ganoderma lucidum and shiitake extracts, inulin, blueberry and cranberry syrups, and pectin was analyzed. Endurance indicators, as well as serum and skeletal muscle levels of lactic and pyruvic acids were evaluated in a rat model of load-induced endurance swimming. Results. The recipe of the new fermented milk product was scientifically tested, its chemical composition was evaluated, the production technology was developed, and the properties of the product were identified in a rat model of load-induced endurance swimming. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the effectiveness of daily consumption of a new fermented milk product, which improves the swimming endurance of rats under exercise.
