Introduction
Functional minced meat semi-finished products harmoniously combine high gustatory qualities, nutritional value with positive functional properties and produce a positive impact on human health.They are at the same time intended for a wide range of consumers and can be used regularly as a part of a normal diet without any specific recommendations.
At the World Congress in the USA on the problems of using vegetable proteins for food and feed purposes, lupin was described as an important reserve of high quality proteins [1].The use of lupin seeds in food industry is limited because of the existence of bitter and poisonous alkaloids in it.However, at present, such varieties of white lupin as "Kharchovyi", "Synii parus", "Olezhka", "Volodia", "Volodymir" have been cultivated.The main feature of it is that its proteins do not require thermal treatment, as they do not contain inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes: trypsin and chymotrypsin, phytohemoglutenins, neurotoxins and alpha-galactoses [2].
Food lupin belongs to organic crops because it is grown without chemical fertilizers.Unlike other legumes, seeds of white food lupin contain 10…12 % of fat, a complex of vitamins, macro-and microelements and other bioactive substances.They protect the organism from radionuclides and heavy metals, as well as accelerate the process of their removal.Dietary fibers of the given varieties of lupin, which are mainly contained in the shell (80…88 %) with the rest in the nucleus of the seed (15….18%), are pretty good enterosorbents of radionuclides, cesium, strontium and other heavy metals [3].The effect of enterosorption is revealed also in relation to cholesterol, bile and other metabolism products.Thus, the grain of food varieties of white lupin should be used in the production of high-protein foods for children and for dietary and medicinal-prophylactic purposes.
Inulin (to 44 %), inulenin, pseudo inulin, acetic and benzoic acids were found in the root of inula [4].Inulin is known to be able to withdraw radionuclides and heavy metals form the body, to stimulate the growth of bone tissue, absorption
Therefore, testing the products for toxicity on the organisms of white mice is necessary in order to include this product in the diet of humans.

Literature review and problem statement
Under modern conditions, the agricultural complex of Ukraine faces the challenge of increasing production of food products and improving their quality and safety.Today, in accordance with the requirements of the international system of self-control (HACCP), the problem of quality control and food safety is becoming increasingly important [5,6].
There are known developments of production of minced meat semi-finished products, which include introduction of meat extracts and powders, by-products or products of their processing, hydrated soy protein, vegetable and dietary supplements, dietary fibers, oil, etc. into mince.Shortcomings of these developments include complexity of formulation of preparation, unavailability of ingredients, low food and biological value of produce.In particular, papers [8][9][10][11] focus on the introduction of minced semi-finished products of protein components, mainly soy concentrates, bran, whey, etc. to meat.
The issue of control of the content of heavy metals in meat produce is paid special attention to.Concentrations of elements of aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium and zinc get into meat during air and vegetation contamination [12].In particular, according to results of examination of meat of wild and domestic animals [13], it was found that the existence of these elements does not pose any danger to the health of consumers, their amount does not exceed maximum permissible concentrations [14].The level of accumulation of particular heavy metals was determined in meat and liver of sheep.According to the examination of the longest back muscle and liver samples, it was found that as the age of sheep increases, the content of water in meat and the content of protein, fat and ash increases, and the accumulation of Cd and Pb depends on the age of animals [15].
In Serbia and Spain, toxicity of food is examined by determining the content of Pb, Cd, Hg, As.The existence of these elements in products was found to result in a daily consumption of 72.30 μg of them, 21.89 μg of As and 11.51 μg of Cd by an adult person [16].
Examination of heavy metals in sausage products is not less important, in particular, control of dry fermented sausages is performed in Lisbon (Portugal).Results of the studies found that heavy metals exist in sausages, but they do not cause danger to consumers [17].
The most effective method of testing product quality is conducting research on white mice [18,19].
Thus, based on a critical analysis of the sources, it was found that the studies that were carried out in Lisbon, Serbia and Spain focused on determining the content of toxic substances and heavy metals.It is necessary to reduce ways of contamination of raw materials.Development of new formulations was not perfect, that is why the products were of low nutritional value and quality.Determining the toxicity on living organisms is the most effective method for testing quality and the introduction of raw materials to production.

The aim and objectives of the study
The aim of present research is to determine toxicity of lupin flour and inula root and meat cutlets on white mice, in order to introduce functional cutlets to the market and in the diet of people.
To accomplish the set aim, the following tasks had to be solved: -to determine toxicity of lupin flour, inula, functional cutlets that contain 5 %, 10 %, 15 % of lupin flour with a replacement of meat share and 0.5 % of inula, under conditions of the intragastrical introduction of 0.5 ml of the extract; -to determine toxicity of the finished 10 % functional cutlets, under conditions of feeding them as the main feed to white mice for 10 days; -to carry out toxicity analysis on the pathoanatomical dissection of mice, examining the condition of internal organs and to perform a hematological analysis of blood.

In the course of research, no changes in behavior of mice, which were on a standard diet (control group), and in the animals that received the finished cutlets, were noticed, the animals were active, with no signs of external aggression.Preservation of animal was at 100 % level.During pathoanatomical dissection, no macroscopic changes in the organs and tissues were found (Fig. 6).In all internal organs the weight changes are p<0.05,which is within the normal range.This indicates that this produce is not toxic.Results of hematological research after a 10-day feeding of cutlets were in the normal range.Therefore, this product has no negative influence on the organism of mice.According to "Methods for determining toxicity on laboratory animals", raw materials and cutlets can be considered non-toxic.

Discussion of results of determining the toxicity of produce
Food products must meet the requirements of State standards, technical conditions, including safety indicators.The developed meat minced semi-finished products form beef with addition of lupin flour and inula were studied using the methods for determining toxicity that were used in the State scientific research institute of control of veterinary preparations and feed additives.We also used "Methods for determining toxicity of oil-seed meal, cakes and fodder yeast" and "Methods for determining toxicity on laboratory animals" on the organism of white mice weighing 20-23 g.
Tasting of functional cutlets enabled us to choose the best sample (No. 2, containing 10 % of lupin flour and 0.5 % of inula), which is being patented and tested in order to be introduced into production.The usage of these methods made it possible to prove non-toxicity of the developed product and its composition.
Developed functional cutlets can be included in the diet to solve problems of protein deficiency.The shortcoming of the development is that in Ukraine there is no effective production of lupin flour, compared with Poland.In fact, lupin flour is a source of valuable protein, which can be widely applied in combination with different products.For example, in Poland there is organized production of bread and pasta.
Functional cutlets with replacement of meat share with lupin flour will also be economically more profitable.Results of this research can be implemented in industrial production of sections of minced semi-finished products.Beef cutlets with lupin can be widely used in fast food, and thereby change the stereotypes about harmfulness of fast-food ("street food").Possible directions of development of this study will be extension of the range of meat products with the lupin share, in particular, production of sausage, sausages, dumplings and khinkali with meat-lupin mince.

Conclusions
1.It was found that lupin flour, inula root and functional cutlets containing 5 %, 10 %, 15 % of lupin flour with replacement of meat share and 0.5 % of inula as a spicy-aromatic additive do not cause catarrhal or hemorrhagic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and the death of mice, so they are non-toxic.
2. The mice were fed on cutlets with 10 % content of lupin flour and 0.5 % of inula.It was found that during pathoanatomical dissection, macroscopic changes in the organs and tissues were not found, p<0.05, which is in the normal range.3. The authors obtained results of hematologic research in mice blood, in particular, morphological parameters, contents of leukocytes and leukogram, biochemical indices, which prove that this product can be included in the diet of humans.
