THE INTEGRATED METHOD OF DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIALIZED PRODUCTS FOR THE CORRECTION OF NUTRITION OF PERSONNEL WORKING IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS

Abstract

The paper presents the system of basic elements of an integrated method of development of special products for correction of nutrition for people working in hazardous conditions. The interpreted method of synectics, based on the work of specialists in the catering area, is offered as a main instrument for the development of specialized food products. The authors consider the following thematic areas of research revealing the problems: development and implementation of management systems in accordance with requirements of international standards and GMP rules to ensure the quality and safety of products; development of a system of organizations and enterprises for research and innovation activities in the catering field according to thematic priorities; formation of a system of main elements of the integrated method of development of specialized products for nutrition correction for people working in hazardous conditions; interpreted method of synectics (IMS) for the development of specialized food products (SPP). The principles of forming a thematic innovation cluster (TIC), which integrates the work of science and education and enterprises at various levels are developed. Its potential partners, i.e. main participants are examined. Based on the practical application of IMS using the integrated method of SPP specialized products with functional properties designed to correct nutrition and maintain working capacity and health of workers in the metallurgical industry: soft drinks “Vitalife” and “Golden ball” are developed. The feature of this method is integration of intellectual and material resources in the conditions of the region, which is ensured by the system of the organization of enterprises in order to create a NID in the field of nutrition in the form of the thematic innovation cluster on the basis of “science and education – production – market”. It’s found out that the integrated method helps to form the NID process “from an idea to a consumer” and to solve the problem of correcting the diet for workers, who contact with harmful factors of production taking into account regional conditions.
