The study of functional and technological properties of vegetarian ice cream

The use perspective and expediency of plant-based milk, enriched with fiber when combined with organic products, biobased products, and sugar substitute products, has been substantiated in the manufacturing process of vegetarian ice cream. When combined with pumpkin fiber, stevia, bananas, pistachios, coconut oil, and coffee beans with different functional and technological properties, rice milk has a purposeful influence on organoleptic and Physico-chemical properties of food products. Accordingly, the expediency of added rice milk (62%) has been determined to optimize vegetarian ice cream's vitamin and mineral composition. The optimal component ratio has been determined employing experimental studies and multi-criteria optimization: for ice cream "Banana & Pistachio": rice milk –  62%, pumpkin fiber – 2.5%, – 0.5%, banana – 16%, pistachio – 6.8%, coconut oil – 12.2%; “Coffee and chocolate”: rice milk – 62%, pumpkin fiber – 4.8%, stevia – 4%, cocoa powder – 7%, coffee beans – 8%, coconut oil – 14.2%,  It has been found that the main physicochemical parameters of the vegetarian ice cream depend on the chemical composition of the ice cream mixture and its freezing conditions. Thus, when the fat content increases, the stability of air bubbles increases, but their sizes decrease. The study results make it clear that the increase in the fat amount is good for the ice cream structure and consistency, while the distance between the fat balls decreases, which, in turn, helps to obtain the product with the smaller ice crystals.

The study of the cytotoxic effect of disinfectants

The toxicity of individual disinfectants has been studied in vitro using human cell cultures (HT-29 (epithelial-like cells of colon adenocarcinoma), HEK 293 (human embryonic kidney cells)) to create a model for assessing the toxicity of residual amounts of disinfectants that can enter milk for a person. Standard tests have been used to assess cell viability and amount: methyl tetrazolium (MTT) test, neutral red cell staining (NRP), and sulforhodamine B (SRB) test. Disinfectants have a dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic effect on human cell cultures. IC50avg (concentration of the drug that suppresses a certain cell function by 50%) of disinfectants based on the effect on cell cultures (average value) is Biodez – 117.29 ±14 μl/l, Blanidas – 389.25 ±20.83 μl/l, Virkon-S – 343.04 ±28.04 μl/l, Neochlor  – 473.82 ±30.16 μl/l, Phan – 56.71 ±7.05 μl/l, Chlorination – 343.28 ±27.26 μl/l, Chlorinated lime – 117.35 ±9.44 μl/l. Mean toxic doses for cell cultures are lower than the mean lethal dose (based on literature data) for rats and mice by gastric administration. The novelty is that determining the cytotoxicity of disinfectants in vitro using human cell cultures can significantly reduce the number of animals for establishing LD50 during the registration procedure of new agents, making it possible to make preliminary conclusions about the toxicity of substances at the stage of chemical screening, preliminary hygienic regulation, identify target organs of toxic influence.

The effect of astaxanthin and lycopene on the content of fatty acids in the yolks of chicken eggs under different storage regimes

The level of consumers’ satisfaction with the quality of edible chicken eggs is determined, in particular, by the attractive appearance of the yolks and their content of biologically active substances that have functional properties. Such compounds include carotenoids astaxanthin and lycopene, which can be deposited in the yolks, provide their pigmentation, and as powerful antioxidants, affect the stability of the fatty acid composition of lipids during egg storage. The aim This study aimed mine the effect of supplements of oil extracts of astaxanthin (10, 20, and 30 mg/kg of feed) or lycopene (20, 40, and 60 mg/kg of feed) on the Dion of young hens on the fatty acid composition of the yolks during eggs storage in temperature conditions 4 ±0.5 ℃ and 12 ±0.5 ℃ for 30 days. The experiment used 45 High-Line W36 crossbred laying hens at 24 weeks of age. It was found that the storage temperature of eggs (4 ±0.5 ℃ and 12 ±0.5 ℃) equally affected the fatty acid composition of lipids of egg yolks obtained from laying hens fed lycopene supplements in doses of 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg or astaxanthin in doses of 10, 20 and 30 mg/kg of feed for 30 days. Doses of lycopene from 20 to 60 mg/kg or astaxanthin from 10 to 30 mg/kg in the diet of laying hens contributed to a decrease in egg yolks at both storage temperatures of ω6 PUFA particles: Eicosatetraenoic and 6.9, 12-okadekatrienic acids until their complete disappearance. The addition of astaxanthin to the diet of laying hens reduced and stabilized the ratio of ω3/ω6 PUFA in yolks during egg storage to a greater extent than the addition of lycopene. Storage of lycopene or astaxanthin-enriched edible chicken eggs at 4 ±0.5 °C and 12 ±0.5 °C for 30 days can be used to correct the fatty acid profile of yolk lipids.

The use of vapor condensation cavitation to increase the activity of milk of lime in sugar beet production

The paper presents research on increasing the activity of milk of lime in beet sugar production using vapor condensation cavitation. The work aimed to develop a rational way of activating milk of lime using the effects of vapor condensation cavitation and its hardware design, substantiating the optimal values of the process parameters. It was established that to increase the activity of milk of lime at a steam potential of 0.18 MPa, an optimal consumption of water vapor using vapor condensation cavitation is required, which is 1 .75 – 2.0% to the weight of the suspension. This is ensured by the action of the combined CaO particles with the bulk of the steam, due to which the Their additional solution is due to the t-plot, which occurs through the boundary layer from the bubbles. As a result, a pre-saturated, water-lime suspension is created, in which the It is the number of dissolved calcium ions. It has been proven that the water vapour-treated suspension is 1.5 times lower It expands and has a volume of sediment of the solid phase in the medium that is 10% larger than that of processed suspension. Such a study is indirect evidence of the increase in the dispersal of these systems after Her husband's work. By increasing the activity of milk of lime, it is possible to increase the effect of cleaning juices at various stages of the technological process and reduce the consumption of limestone for the production of granulated sugar.

Development and shelf-life assessment of soft-drink with honey

This scientific work describes research that aims to determine the physicochemical parameters of homogenized honey and its safety indicators based on the determination of toxic metals and radionuclides. A series of experimental studies were conducted to develop and study recipes for honey water based on different types of honey collected in the Lviv region of Ukraine, namely acacia, buckwheat, sunflower, coriander, goldenrod, linden, and weeds. According to the results of experiments, it was found that the studied honey meets all the requirements presented in the standard for natural honey. And the results obtained to determine the dry matter content and pH allowed to blend different types of honey and get honey drinks, which will expand the range of non-carbonated products, which is very popular, especially in summer, and drink this drink during the year. To prolong the shelf life of honey drinks, it is recommended to add citric acid in an amount of 1% by weight of the drink and sodium benzoate as a preservative in an amount of 0.1%. The quality of the obtained honey water samples was assessed using organoleptic evaluation and physicochemical parameters. The resulting beverages have good organoleptic characteristics and can be offered for products in the industry.

The study of the intensification of technological parameters of the sausage production process

One of the sources of sodium are meat products. Increased consumption of meat products and sodium intake leads to serious health problems. The task of reducing the dosage of sodium chloride in minced meat needs to be addressed. The partial replacement of table salt with sea salt will reduce the sodium concentration in products to 20%. It is established that this modification increases the moisture-binding properties of minced meat and lowers the dosage of salt in the mass of raw meat, which will reduce the level of harm to the body due to excessive consumption of sausages. It is proposed to introduce a bacterial preparation based on the strain Staphylococcus carnosus, which will reduce the amount of sodium nitrite in the finished products. Technology has been developed to regulate the composition of microelements in meat products by enriching them with a kelp extract. It was found that changes in the composition of minced meat can adversely affect the taste and physicochemical properties of the product, which is confirmed by expert studies. As a result of laboratory studies, it was found that a partial change of salt in the sea helps to improve the stability and physicochemical quality of minced meat (active acidity, water activity, moisture retention, and shear stress). According to the research results, the recipe of sausages recommended for implementation at the enterprises of the meat processing industry of Ukraine has been developed.
