The wide use of antioxidants is due to their involvement in free radical processes in foods and human body. Interest in the use of low-value raw materials providing products with functional properties and increasing their shelf life is rapidly increasing. However, any changes in the formulation and technology may affect the properties and composition of the finished product. During the work, the effect of replacing 34% (sample 1) or 17% (sample 2) beef broth with 70% water-ethanol extract of yellow onion peels in the formulation of the experimental meat pates was investigated. The control product contained only beef broth as liquid. The total antioxidant capacity by the DPPH radical method (TACDPPH), fatty acid composition and amino acid composition were determined; microelement content analysis, proteomic and microstructural studies of meat pate samples with and without the addition of extract were also carried out. For 14 days, TACDPPH values of experimental pates were higher than in control by at least 2.32 times (P<0.10). Samples 1 and 2 were characterized by a decrease in the concentrations of zinc, manganese and magnesium by no more than 14% (P<0.10), with a simultaneous increase in selenium, copper, potassium and calcium of 8% to 17.35% (P<0.10) depending on the microelement. The mass fraction of protein in experimental pates 1 and 2 was higher by 6.76% and 2.73% (P<0.10), respectively, which was due to a decrease in moisture because of ethanol evaporation. Replacing the broth in the formulation affected the decrease in the protein biological value, as evidenced by a decrease in amino acid scores (AASs). However, a decrease in the AAS difference coefficient in experimental pates 1 and 2 by 7.71% and 3.07%, respectively, led to an increase in the biological value of the pates by 7.7% and 3.06%, respectively. Based on the results of proteomic and histological analysis, it was revealed that the addition of ethanol extract did not lead to significant changes in the protein composition and microstructural characteristics of the test samples.
