In the context of the increasing lactation problems among breastfeeding women, the development of a healthy lifestyle is needed. Different variants of pork, turkey, and beef meatballs, with added lemon balm ( L.) and wild thyme ( L.) aqueous extract (6%), were obtained. These herbs were selected and used due to their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and lactogenic potential. Two thermal treatments, hot air convection (180 °C) and steam convection (94 °C), were applied for meatballs processing. The obtained meatballs were further subjected to a complex characterization. The functionality of the plant extracts was proved by the values of total content of polyphenols (2.69 ± 0.02 mg AG/g dw) and flavonoids (3.03 ± 0.24 mg EQ/g dw). FT-IR analysis confirmed the presence of trans-anethole and estragole at 1507-1508 cm and 1635-1638 cm, respectively. Costumers' overall acceptance had a score above 5.5 for all samples, on a scale of 1 to 9. Further analysis and human trials should be considered regarding the use of lactogenic herbs, given their health benefits and availability.
在母乳喂养妇女中日益增多的哺乳问题的背景下，需要养成健康的生活方式。制备了不同变体的猪肉、火鸡肉和牛肉肉丸，并添加了柠檬香脂（L.）和野生百里香（L.）水提物（6%）。选择和使用这些草药是因为它们具有抗氧化、抗菌和催乳潜力。对肉丸进行了两种热加工处理，空气对流热（180°C）和蒸汽对流热（94°C）。获得的肉丸进一步进行了复杂的特性分析。植物提取物的功能通过多酚（2.69 ± 0.02 mg AG/g dw）和类黄酮（3.03 ± 0.24 mg EQ/g dw）的总含量值得到证实。FT-IR 分析证实了反式茴香脑和大茴香脑分别在 1507-1508 cm 和 1635-1638 cm 处存在。所有样本的消费者总体接受度评分均高于 5.5，范围为 1 至 9。鉴于它们的健康益处和可用性，应该进一步考虑使用催乳草药的分析和人体试验。
