Modeling of the composition of a probiotic fish product using the Python

Among the elements of a healthy diet that improve the performance of the human body, probiotics or probiotic foods are isolated, which contribute to correcting the composition of the internal indigenous microflora of the intestinal microbiota. In accordance with this, the article presents research on the design of models of the composition of a probiotic food fish product using the high-level Python programming language, as well as the development of technology for obtaining this type of product. The Python programming language using popular libraries such as SciPy and PuLP allows you to implement a linear programming method that solves similar problems related to the design of formulations of multicomponent food systems. As a result, 8 formulations of probiotic edible fish product of the group of semi-canned fish, in particular pates based on biotransformed bacterial starter cultures (L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus) fish fillets (pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), cod (Gadus macrocephalus), small-eyed macrurus (Albatrossia pectoralis), Gilbert’s half-shelled Goby (Hemilepidotus gilberti)) with the subsequent development of a technological scheme for obtaining this type of product. The designed formulations and the developed technology contribute to the production of a fish product with the presence of live forms of probiotics in the amount of 10 6 -10 9 CFU/g.
