FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: application of sphagnum substrate as a food additive for preventing diseases of the human gastrointestinal tract is proposed. The method for obtaining sphagnum substrate includes soaking sphagnum in water, its heat treatment and cooling. Wherein, before heat treatment, sphagnum is washed with water, pressed, crushed to a size of 0.5-3 mm. Heat treatment is carried out by boiling in water for 20-30 minutes from the moment of boiling, and after cooling, drying is carried out. The food additive based on sphagnum substrate contains the mixture of sphagnum and reindeer moss substrates with ground lingonberries with a component ratio, wt %: sphagnum - from 4 to 7; reindeer moss - from 8 to 14; lingonberries - from 79 to 88. The method for preparing the food additive comprises preparing the mixture of a sphagnum substrate and a reindeer moss substrate at the ratio of 2:5 to 1:2, mixing the mixture of substrates with lingonberries crushed to a pappy state, with the ratio of the mixture of sphagnum and reindeer moss substrates and lingonberries from 1:5 to 1:4, infusing, cooling for 4-6 hours, pressing, drying and grinding to a powdery state. Wherein the sphagnum substrate is obtained by washing and boiling in water for 20-30 minutes from the moment of boiling, subsequent pressing, drying and grinding to a powdery state. The reindeer moss substrate is obtained by washing dry reindeer moss with water, infusing in 4-6% soda solution for at least 3 hours, rewashing with water, pressing, drying and grinding to a powdery state.

EFFECT: invention allows expanding the scope of sphagnum application, expanding the arsenal of food additives for preventing diseases of the human gastrointestinal tract.
