Nutrition is one of the most important factors influencing the health of the population. It ensures the normal development of children, promotes disease prevention, prolongs life and creates conditions for adequate human adaptation to the natural environment. Therefore, the issue of healthy nutrition of children is one of the most important in the implementation of social policy. Successfully solving the problem of baby food depends on creating the conditions for the production of quality and safe food. The development of the domestic baby food industry is one of the most important issues that need to be addressed at the state level. Functional baby foods should contain as a component drugs or proposed to prevent or mitigate the disease of a child with special dietary needs, including in the case of congenital or acquired disorders of absorption of certain nutrients, their intolerance or certain diseases. The quality of baby food is the degree of perfection of the properties and characteristics of baby food, which are able to meet the physiological needs of the child's body in food based on their chemical composition and energy value of raw materials and components, which are included in the prescription bookmark. According to current regulations in Ukraine and China there are different requirements for quality and safety of products and raw materials used in food production. Technological characteristics and physico-chemical composition of raw materials affect the use of processing processes, which allows to preserve the maximum of native substances. The results of research of physicochemical composition and quality indicators of raw materials of plant origin, which are traditionally grown in Ukraine and China, will be included in the roadmap of a comprehensive program to create flexible technologies and range of functional products, long-term storage for children of different ages.
