Nutritional value and chemical composition.

The energy value is 166 calories.

• Choline is part of lecithin, plays a role in the synthesis and metabolism of phospholipids in the liver, is a source of free methyl groups, acts as a lipotropic factor.
• Vitamin B5 is involved in protein, fat, carbohydrate metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, synthesis of some hormones, hemoglobin, promotes the absorption of amino acids and sugars in the intestinal tract, and supports the adrenal cortex’s function. Lack of Pantothenic acid can lead to skin lesions and mucous membranes.
• Vitamin B6 is involved in maintaining an immune response, processes of inhibition and excitation in the Central nervous system, in transformations of amino acids, tryptophan metabolism, lipids, and nucleic acids contributes to normal formation of red blood cells, to maintain normal levels of homocysteine in the blood. A decreased appetite accompanies insufficient intake of vitamin B6, and disorders of the skin, development of found, anemia.
• Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the metabolism and conversion of amino acids. Folate and vitamin B12 are interrelated in vitamins involved in hematopoiesis. A lack of vitamin B12 leads to the development of partial or secondary folate deficiency and anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
• Vitamin PP participates in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Insufficient vitamin intake is accompanied by disturbance of the skin’s normal condition, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system.
• Potassium is the major intracellular ion that participates in the regulation of water, acid, and electrolyte balance, involved in nerve impulses, and regulation of blood pressure.
• Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates the acid-alkaline balance, part of phospholipids, nucleotides, and nucleic acids, necessary for mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
• Iron is included with different functions of proteins, including enzymes. Involved in the transport of electrons, oxygen provides a course of redox reactions and activation of peroxidation. Insufficient consumption leads to hypochromic anemia, myoglobinuria atony of the skeletal muscles, fatigue, cardiomyopathy, atrophic gastritis.
• Cobalt is part of vitamin B12. Activates enzymes in the metabolism of fatty acids and metabolism of folic acid.
• Copper is part of enzymes with redox activity involved in iron metabolism and stimulates proteins and carbohydrates’ absorption. The processes involved in providing tissues with oxygen. Deficiency is manifested by malformations of the cardiovascular system and skeleton, development of connective tissue dysplasia.
• Molybdenum is a cofactor for many enzymes that ensure the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines.
• Chromium is involved in the regulation of blood glucose level, potentiating the action of insulin. The deficit leads to a decrease in glucose tolerance.
• Zinc is part of over 300 enzymes involved in the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, and the regulation of expression of several genes. Insufficient intake leads to anemia, secondary immunodeficiency, liver cirrhosis, sexual dysfunction, presence of fetal malformations. Research in recent years revealed that high doses of zinc could disrupt copper absorption and contribute to anemia’s development.

The energy value or calorific value is the amount of energy released in the human body from food in the digestive process. The product’s energy value is measured in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ) per 100 gr. Product. Kcal used to measure the energy value of food is also called “food calorie.” Therefore, when specifying the caloric content in (kilo)calories prefix, a kilo is often omitted. Detailed tables of energy values for the Russian products you can watch.

Nutritional value — carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the product.

Nutritional value of a food product — a set of foodstuff properties at which presence physiological satisfying human needs in necessary substances and energy.

Vitamins, organic substances needed in small amounts in the diet of both man and most vertebrates. The synthesis of vitamins, as a rule, is carried out by plants, not animals. The daily requirement of vitamins is only a few milligrams or micrograms. Unlike inorganic vitamins are destroyed by strong heating. Many vitamins are unstable and “lost” during cooking or processing food.
