Application of assisted extraction technologies to optimize the extraction of biologically active substances from plant materials

There is an increased interest in obtaining amaranth grain extracts enriched with biologically active substances by deep processing of raw materials a further prospect their use as part specialized multi-purpose food products. The aim this work was to evaluate the effectiveness membrane filtration for extraction from grains. Amaranth extract obtained enzymatic hydrolysis using proteolytic enzyme followed treatment. developed approach made it possible obtain grains - source peptides, 20-hydroxyecdysone and polyphenols (including saponins). In total, triterpene saponins were concentrated 8 times, phytoecdysteroid more than 30 times concentrated. high content low molecular weight peptide fractions (more 80%) composition makes promising its antihypertensive antidiabetic properties vivo. presence extract, adaptogen proven effect, opens up possibility functional ingredient products, including athletes.
