According to the data and the results of clinical trials received in Nutrition Institute of 鈥楻ussian Academy of Medical Sciences鈥? it was found that 80% of Russians suffer from lack of selenium. Saint-Petersburg University Innovation Company 鈥楲ittoral鈥? has developed a biologically active food supplement 鈥楽elenium Alga plus鈥? The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of using dietary supplement 鈥楽elenium Alga Plus鈥? in yoghurt manufacture. Almost all groups of the population consume such fermented milk drink as yogurt, so that it is considered that this method increasing selenium as the most effective. People suffering from diabetes may have lack of selenium in the organism, as well as healthy people. Since traditional yogurt contains 11% of sucrose, it is necessary to choose sweetening components with vegetable origin. Selecting sweetening components of vegetable origin we pursued the dual purpose. Firstly, we created a sweet product, which would be a source of organic selenium. Therefore the sucrose was replaced with the plant origin sweeteners such as syrup of Jerusalem artichoke and stevioside. Secondly, it was the development of technology and composition of functional food product, intended not only for mass consumption, but also for people suffer from diabetes. It becomes possible due to the absence of sucrose, the presence of selenium and Jerusalem artichoke, which are able to reduce the blood sugar level.
