DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS FOR TONIC BEVERAGES ENHANCING THE BODY RESISTANCE

To produce soft drinks the use of herbal adaptogens as a source of body resistance is of current interest. As raw materials possessing adaptogenic properties, fruits of the Chinese magnolia vine, field ashes, aktinidiya kolomikta, holly thistle, and a grass of purple echinacea herbs, golden harem herbs, roots and rhizomes of the rhodiola rosea and spiny eleuterococus, lime-tree flowers are chosen. The analysis showed the high content of biologically active agents, authenticity, high quality and safety of the chosen plant raw materials. To obtain extracts a maceration process is used. Because of prior information processing the most significant factors having the greatest impact on quality indices of the extraction process were marked out. The independent variables influencing the optimization criterion are determined whose values are the following: temperature of an ekstragent (T) - 85 °C; time of extraction (t) - 240 min; the hydromodule
