Nutritive value of foodstuffs is evaluated nowadays not only by the presence of microelements, proteins and carbohydrates, but also by absence of harmful substances, negatively influencing on metabolism and causing toxic poisoning and serious disease. As a rule, harmful substances are included in the content of special chemical food additives, prolonging shelf-life of products and enforcing their taste characteristics. Non-alcoholic beverages appear one of the most vulnerable products because of wide list of toxic additives, used for their production. As an alternative for such toxically unstable products there are presented non-alcoholic fermented beverages, developed in Mogilev State University of Foodstuffs. Natural plant substances appear the result of vital activity of microorganisms, include valuable nutritive substances (vitamins, amino acids and organic acids) and allow excluding toxic additives from beverages' content. The prospects of the use of natural bioculture of microorganisms - rice fungus - as a component for fermentation when receiving beverages are shown. It is identified, that the drink 'Risovit' to be received on the basis of rice fungus has a high biological value and considerable antagonistic activity in relation to pathogenic and conditional-pathogenic microorganisms, which enables to include it in the category of probiotic foodstuff.
