Abstract

The aim of the article is to determine the influence of a mixture of fruit and vegetable powders and flax seeds on the technological process, quality and nutritional value of craft baked goods.

Method. Physical and chemical, organoleptic, experimental and statistical methods were  used during the research. Experimental studies were performed according to developed industries methods on standardized equipment and devices.

The results. Bread and baked goods are almost the main food products in Ukraine, despite the decrease in their consumption in recent years. Consumers are demanding about the taste qualities of baked goods, their nutritional value and safety.
