Reducing agents of drone brood products supplemented by royal jelly, propolis and chitosan derivatives

Abstract

Violation of the ratio of nutrients causes diseases. Antioxidants occupy a special place among micronutrients, which can slow down aging and prevent the development of tumors. Bee products, especially drone brood, propolis, royal jelly, and chitin-chitosan-melanin complex, are rich in antioxidants. This requires the development of new combined products that have a complex effect on the human body. As an indicator of the content of unsaturated compounds, the iodine number of the drone brood adsorbed by lactose-glucose adsorbents, as well as supplemented by the chitin-chitosan-melanin complex, propolis extract and royal jelly, was studied. The results showed that new products have a higher iodine number compared to drone brood on lactose-glucose adsorbents. This is promising for the widespread use of new products in human nutrition. The iodine number can be a reliable indicator of quality.
