Zinaida Alekseevna Rudenko born in September 1975 in Leningrad (later St. Petersburg). After school, she graduated from the St. Petersburg State University of Low-Temperature and Food Technologies with a degree in general and refrigeration food technology.
Since 1997, she has continuously worked in her profile. She worked as a shift technologist for a couple of months, after which she became the chief specialist. Place of work: large meat processing plants, dairy production.
In parallel with her main work activity, Zinaida was seriously involved in sports. Her second higher education is as an aerobics and shaping instructor. Since 2011, Zinaida has been a member of the Russian Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation, and before that - the Aerofitness Federation. Zinaida gained wide popularity in her circles from the training videos she recorded for those who wanted to get in shape on the Yougifted channel.

Zinaida Rudenko. Participation in the show Natural Selection
In 2016 Zinaida Rudenko invited to the TV Center channel as a co-host Otar Kushanashvili, a famous journalist and showman, in the consumer program “Natural Selection”, in order to teach people together to defend their consumer rights and understand products.
An expert technologist and athlete, who perfectly understands the intricacies of what makes a person’s life healthy and comfortable, was already familiar to the television audience of “TV Center” before this time, since she often acted as a guest specialist on this show.
Zinaida Rudenko: Being an expert technologist on the program, I closely followed what was happening in the studio, listened to what others were saying. She memorized the results of the laboratory examination and “did it on her head.” For example, now I buy exactly the cheese that has gone through Natural Selection. And the issue about shrimp left even me, a food technologist with 20 years of experience, who is hard to surprise with anything, simply in shock! I stopped buying shrimp altogether and just stuck to chicken breasts, turkey and fish. I decided that it would be safer this way also because my diet is related to the diet of my eight-year-old daughter. And I can't afford to risk her health.
Good day to all my readers. I am glad to welcome you in my review. I’ll tell you today about the TV show “Natural Selection”, which is shown on the TVC channel.
When I first watched the program “Natural Selection”, it reminded me a little of the Channel One program called “Joint Purchase”.
There are many similarities between the programs, but there are also fundamental differences.
The program "Natural Selection" discusses consumer goods. We are discussing those products that you and I can actually see and buy on the shelves of our stores. The Natural Selection program, in the course of its investigation, finds out which manufacturers are honest and which are deceiving us consumers.
On the Natural Selection program, producers must personally answer for the quality of their product in front of the entire studio. After a thorough analysis of the selected product, the manufacturer will either become the one who produces quality products or will tarnish his reputation publicly throughout the country.

To make it easier for you to shop for quality food, Natural Selection provides some tips on how and what to buy.
Salted salmon in vacuum packaging
* How to determine that it is salmon and not painted cod? If you want to avoid being scammed, buy the fish as a whole piece so that its skin is visible, rather than in slices. Another characteristic feature of salmon is that it shimmers, as if there were gasoline stains on it. This will not happen on painted white fish.
* Check the packaging - it must be sealed and nothing should leak from it. Salmon is a fatty fish, so fat may separate inside the package; it should be orange. And there is no need to be afraid of this. But there should be no liquid in the package - this is a sign of either the use of phosphates to increase the water content in the fish, or a sign of spoilage.
* Press on a piece of salmon - the dent from your finger should slowly and partially straighten out. If this does not happen at all, this is a sign of stale or very wet fish. The salmon should be firm, but not too firm.
Olive mayonnaise
* Is there olive oil in olive mayonnaise? According to the technical regulations for fat and oil products, even if the manufacturer adds at least a little olive oil, for example, only 1-2%, he can already call the mayonnaise olive. And it's absolutely legal!
* Read the ingredients. If you see that olive oil is further than the third place, this mayonnaise is far from olive.
* If you watch your diet and figure, but still love mayonnaise, you can use a little trick: for New Year's salads, mix mayonnaise with natural yogurt in a 50/50 ratio. The taste will remain almost the same, and the calories will be much less.
Red salmon caviar
* If you want to eat fresh first-class caviar (this is the best type of caviar), check the place of production. The ideal option is when the caviar is made in the Far East, that is, near the sea.
* Different types of caviar can be distinguished by eye. First-grade caviar is neat, without burst balls, in a clear brine, because it is prepared from fresh or chilled fish. In second-grade caviar, burst balls and white particles and films are allowed - remnants of eggs, and the brine itself may be cloudy (this product is prepared from frozen raw materials). By the way, this kind of caviar also has a different taste - it is acceptable for it to be bitter.
* So that the quality of caviar does not upset you during the New Year's feast, buy caviar in glass jars. Usually the caviar in jars is of the first grade, it is no coincidence that it is more expensive. In addition, this way you can take a good look at it in the store.
* To check the quality of caviar, you need to fill several eggs with hot water. Real caviar has a lot of protein, so the temperature will cause the balls to become dense and white - that is, they will simply boil, and the water itself will become cloudy. Artificial caviar is made from gelatin. These balls do not completely dissolve in water, and a greasy colored film from oil with dyes forms on the surface. The water itself will be clear.
*The caviar of different salmon fish differs. Chum salmon caviar is the largest, up to 7 mm, orange in color; pink salmon caviar - smaller, orange-red in color; Sockeye salmon caviar is the smallest, about 3 mm, bright red and always bitter.
Chocolate candies with wafer layer
* The following safe words in the product composition should warn you against purchasing wafer chocolates: vegetable fat, palm oil, cocoa butter substitute or equivalent, rapeseed oil, shea butter, soy protein or soy flour. If you see only vegetable fats in the composition, then these candies contain neither natural chocolate nor milk filling.
* Synthetic dyes, the use of which must be accompanied by a mandatory warning notice on the packaging - “The product contains dyes that may have a negative effect on the activity and attention of children.” There are only six of them: E102 - tartrazine, E104 - quinoline yellow, E110 - "sunset", E122 - azorubine, E129 - charming red, E124 - ponceau.
Airing time: from Monday to Thursday at 16:50.
The television project, which started in the fall of 2016, Natural selection"covers many pressing issues. For example, which product can you spend money on, and which one should you cross off from your shopping list? How can a consumer correctly use their rights and effectively defend them? The viewer hears answers from the product manufacturers themselves right in the talk show studio “ Natural selection».
Natural selection. About the program
In the spotlight " Natural selection» - consumer goods, including food, shoes and clothing, household chemicals and appliances, children's and sports items. All this is subjected to laboratory quality testing four times a week, while TV viewers learn to navigate the products offered by manufacturers.
Guests of the studio are people injured by consuming products, product manufacturers themselves, doctors, nutritionists, lawyers, stars of show business, sports, and various experts. In particular, during the show, Roskontrol specialists conduct a full analysis of a specific product and provide the necessary materials.
The program is divided into various sections: laboratory examination and spectator examination, “Uninvited GOST”, which talks about standard requirements, “E-expert” (about the benefits and harms of E supplements), “Shelf life” (about the rules for storing and using goods), “Price question” (about the price of the product), “Checking for lice”, “I have the right”, etc.
At the end of the releases, bona fide manufacturers are identified and, based on the results of examinations, are awarded quality marks. If the product is rejected, then its manufacturers are called to account.
Natural selection. Leading programs
The talk show is hosted by Alexander Borisov, co-chairman of the Roskontrol Consumer Union, and Otar Kushanashvili, a famous journalist, columnist and showman, for whom, despite his media presence, such a program was the first in practice.
Otar Kushanashvili: This is really the first time I’m hosting a program of this kind. This is despite the fact that at home they jokingly call me “the defender of the oppressed.” But until now I was in demand as, let’s call it mildly, an intellectual clown, buffoon, ironist-catastropheist (one of my daughters awarded me this title). This is entirely the merit of the producers - they saw the right guy in me...
According to Alexander Borisov, since 2013 Roskontrol checks the quality and safety of goods, so the agency’s specialists know all the problems very well.
Borisov: Moreover, we consolidate information and opinions from all sides: from experts, manufacturers and buyers. But on the set of the show they meet face to face for the first time in reality. And, believe me, this is a very interesting story.
Otar Kushanashvili When asked why Russians need such a show, he answered: “People should live a decent life, a life of high quality and safety. That's what this program is about, and I'm proud to be associated with it. I also want to live a safe and quality life.”
On December 5, 2016, Zinaida Rudenko, a technologist by training and a healthy lifestyle specialist, an athlete and an online trainer, began working as Otar’s co-host.
Well versed in the intricacies of what exactly makes people’s lives healthy and comfortable, Zinaida graduated from the St. Petersburg State University of Low-Temperature and Food Technologies, studying there with a degree in general and refrigeration food technology. She began working in her profile in 1997, holding the position of chief technologist at large meat processing plants and dairy production. In parallel with her main work, Zinaida began to seriously engage in sports, becoming a member of the Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness of the Russian Federation in 2011.
By the way, in the studio " Natural selection» Rudenko previously appeared as a guest.
Zinaida Rudenko: While still an expert technologist on the show, I listened very carefully to what was happening in the studio and what others were talking about. She listened to the results of the laboratory examination and “wound her mind.” For example, now I buy exactly the cheese that has gone through Natural Selection. And the issue about shrimp left even me, a food technologist with 20 years of experience, who is hard to surprise with anything, simply in shock! I stopped buying shrimp altogether and just stuck to chicken breasts, turkey and fish. I decided that it would be safer this way also because my diet is related to the diet of my eight-year-old daughter.
According to Otar, Zinaida is simply a godsend for “ Natural selection».
Otar Kushanashvili: Zinaida looks like an aonida, knows how and what to say, a record holder for adaptation, is moderately sentimental, and is not afraid of antiphase. She is also a bundle of energy. But the energy, unlike me, is controlled. She is a master at achieving ideal tension. He works honestly, but gets very tired. However, here she was incredibly lucky: with me, an intellectual buffoon.
Regarding the former co-host - Alexandra Borisova, who began hosting the show together with Otar, the journalist assured the audience of the following: the specialist will not leave the program and will continue to give his professional advice.
