Protein deficiency is an acute problem in the modern world. On average, the recommended intake of protein per day for an adult is about 70 grams, and the indicators of actual protein intake are much lower and vary depending on the region. Currently, thanks to the development of innovations in genetics, new varieties of crops with a high protein content are being developed. These include amaranth and lentil crops growing on the territory of the Krasnodar region and the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to develop a sauce recipe based on amaranth greens and lentil seeds used as enriching protein additives. The objectives of the study include: creation of a conceptual model of protein-enriched sauce; selection of vegetable raw materials enriched with protein; development of a recipe for enriched sauce. During the research, the indicators of the chemical composition of raw materials were studied, confirming their technological significance for use as an enriching protein component for healthy food products; recipes for sauce with an increased protein content providing 16 % of the recommended daily intake were developed; regulatory documentation for a new type of product for healthy nutrition was developed; the efficiency of the investment project was calculated. Innovative criteria of the developed technology are the following indicators: the use of exclusively vegetable raw materials in the composition of products, without the addition of synthetic dyes and the possibility of changing functional properties by regulating the ratios of the components of the sauce formulation; increased preservation of nutrients in the finished product; physiological availability of sauce as an enriched product; high producibility of the method.
