At present in Ukraine the necessity of use of adsorbent derives from the reasons of ecological and medical character. Under conditions of food contamination by radionuclides it is important to protect the population from inner radiation. There are two ways of solving this problem: use of pure products; use of substances or products that bind radionuclides and speed up their removal from organism where to they are supplied together with food. As it is impossible to provide the population with the pure food products there is necessity in studying adsorbents that remove radionuclides from organism. A food product that meets the above requirements may be bread containing calcium alginate obtained from sea weeds. In Ukraine the most perspective samples of calcium alginate are revealed which have the parameters as follows: moisture content - 13-20 %, particle size - 0,7 mm, pH of water suspension - 6,26. Bread containing 2 % calcium alginate has high protective properties and may be recommended for the therapeutical and prophylaxis diets.
