Abstract
In recent years, the food market has seen an increase in demand for natural and healthy drinks. Kvass wort is a liquid that remains after the production of kvass. Most of the kvass drinks on the market are produced by carbonation, that is, the introduction of carbon dioxide into the drink. The main ingredient of this drink is a concentrate of kvass wort, with the use of special yeast and water, and also with the addition of a decoction of medicinal herbs recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. On the basis of a research, we used 10% decoction of sage, peppermint, and sand cumin (immortelle). The herbs were selected in terms of their organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters. Acacia honey, which has a low glycemic index, was used as a sweetener. The resulting functional product can be recommended for people to prevent cardiovascular disease as it contains the necessary flavonoids, tannins, anticoagulants, anthocyanins, and phenolic compounds.
