Abstract
Complex processing studies of amaranth and soya were conducted in order to produce
new and effective medicines and dietary supplements. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of
biologically active substances (BAS) of 5 regional varieties of amaranth and of 7 varieties of soya, their
seeds, meal after oil extraction and phytopreparation (biologically active complex of soybeans) were
studied. The presence of 21 amino acids, 12 flavonoids, 7 isoflavonoids, 7 coumarins,
5 phenolcarboxylic acids, tannins, vitamins, polysaccharides, squalen was found in investigated plant
material. A comprehensive resource-saving technology for oil, herbal formulation and protein
production was developed. The use of amaranth and soy products helps to reduce cholesterol,
compensate an energy lost, increase muscle mass, significantly reduces the risk of obesity and
cardiovascular disease. It is advisable to include them in the daily diet, which is recommended for
chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys, heart and other.
