The use of puree-like semi-finished products from the fruits of wild plants is increasingly being used in the production of preventive food products. Considering that the composition and useful properties of such semi-finished products may vary depending on the type of hawthorn and the region of its growth, this study was devoted to clarifying the composition of puree from the local wild raw materials of Azerbaijan - large-fruited hawthorn (Crataegus aestivalis L.), growing in the Babek district of Nakhichevan A R. The puree was obtained as a result of washing, blanching, wiping, sterilization and aseptic filling processes. After that, its composition was studied using standard and generally accepted methods of chemical analysis. It is shown that the vitamin and mineral profile of the product is extremely rich and diverse, and its low sugar content is an obvious advantage, since puree analogues obtained from forest fruits of many other species differ, as a rule, in medium or high calorie content. The conducted studies confirm the relevance of the process of producing food products with a given chemical composition and increased value based on hawthorn puree to compensate for the deficiency of minerals and vitamins in the human diet.
