INTEGRATION OF HEALTHY NUTRITION TECHNOLOGIES IN STUDENT CATERING ESTABLISHMENTS: THEORY AND PRACTICE

Keywords: healthy nutrition, functional dishes, student café, restaurant industry, food culture, nutrition technologies

Abstract

The article explores current trends in the implementation of healthy nutrition technologies in restaurant establishments, with a focus on the student environment. Theoretical foundations of the concept of “healthy nutrition” are analyzed, and the role of functional dishes as a tool for shaping food culture is revealed. The empirical section presents the results of a survey conducted among students of the International Humanitarian University and the National University "Odesa Law Academy", which demonstrated a high level of interest in a balanced diet. A practical example is the LEX student café, which already offers a range of meals aligned with the concept of healthy eating. The study confirms the relevance of expanding the range of functional dishes and integrating smart nutrition approaches into educational food services. The results may be used to optimize student café menus, incorporate healthy eating principles into university programs, and promote gastronomic culture among youth.
