ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF FOOD ADDITIVES DERIVED FROM SECONDARY PLANT RESOURCES
DescriptionThe accumulation of free radicals in the human body in excessive quantities is one of the reasons that are known to cause many dangerous diseases and aging. To reduce the negative impact of free radicals to the body is possible through regular consumption of food products enriched with nutritional and dietary supplements containing natural antioxidants such as phenolic compounds, vitamin C, vitamin E and β – carotene. Scientists of federal state budgetary scientific institution "Krasnodar research Institute of storage and processing of agricultural products" have developed a technology for production of food additives from secondary materials generated during the processing of apples and pumpkins. The article presents data characterizing the antioxidant and antiradical activity of food additives derived from secondary plant resources developed and known technology. It is established that the antioxidant activity determined by the amperometric method, and the antioxidant (antiradical) activity, determined by DPPH method, supplements, "Powder apple" and " Powder pumpkin" obtained by the developed technology, is almost 1.5 times higher in comparison with antioxidant and antiradical activity of food additives, obtained by known technologies, because of higher content of antioxidants in the developed supplements. It has been established that the expression of antioxidants and anti-radical activity of food supplements obtained from secondary resources on the developed technologies, can be positioned in a number of (descending): "Powder from the seeds of grapes" → "Apple powder" → " Pumpkin powder"

REGRESSIVE METHODS OF PROGNOSTICATION OF THE LOAD-GRAPH OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
DescriptionThe article discusses the use of regression methods of forecasting the deterministic time series on the example of the load curve. Forecasts of the load curve of electrical equipment are the demands of consumers and their security in EPS. All predictive tasks are based on prediction models. Electricity consumption is happening on an electronic level; storing electricity on an industrial scale is impossible, the consumption depends on many random factors. Therefore, generally, we use a combination of mathematical and heuristic models. This is the daily task of power systems and many technical, economic and commercial decisions on the management regimes depend on its solutions. Development of methods of forecasting of the energy consumption in the system of decision-making today is one of the priority directions in the Russian power industry. Therefore, the work associated with the development of methods and algorithms of forecasting of power consumption in the power sector is still relevant

INVESTIGATION OF THE PROCESS OF EVAPORATION OF CHOKEBERRY INFUSIONS
DescriptionFor the design of rotary-film evaporators of the technology for food production we need summary tables of performance parameters of the process. To obtain them it requires a significant amount of experiments that require a large investment of time and resources. Therefore the actual task is reducing the cost of designing of the technological process, due to the choice of optimal parameters of the rotor-film evaporator. This problem can be solved by conducting a small series of experiments aimed at identifying general mathematical dependences of the parameters of the processes of evaporation on the performance of the device. Based on the obtained dependencies it is possible to find design and selection of evaporators. The study proceeded from the assumption that the maximum thickening of the initial solution in the evaporator, it is possible while achieving the maximum possible temperature, the filing of the original solution in the apparatus and performance during repeated evaporation and infusions from the fruits of chokeberry. The calculation is performed taking into account the prevention of adhesion of evaporated solution on the walls of the apparatus and the rotor blades, which may reduce the quality of the end product. The data confirm the effectiveness of the method of repeated evaporation on the example of concentrating the water-alcohol extracts of black chokeberry

THE INFLUENCE OF METHODS USED TO PREPARE FLAX SEEDS FOR PRESSING ON THE OUTPUT AND QUALITY OF OIL
DescriptionAnalytical survey has revealed that technologies of flaxseed oil processing used nowadays are able to produce technical flaxseed oil if the output is high and food flaxseed oil if the output is low. The objective of this work is to reason the most effective method to increase the output of food flaxseed oil while keeping its quality high. In this article a comparison has been made between single cold pressing of flaxseeds without preliminary preparation with microwave processing, as well as traditional (conductive) heating with traditional heating under vacuum. The object of the research is samples of flaxseeds (high quality variety VNIIMK-620 which contains 56.28% of linolenic acid in its fatty acid composition. It has been established, that the use of preliminary microwave processing enables to increase the output of oil compared to a single cold pressing without any processing, whereby the mass content of oil in oil cake can be reduced by 2.2%. At the same time the indicators of acid number and peroxide value are increased by 0,05 mg KOH/g and 0.37 mmol of active oxygen/kg correspondingly. Preliminary traditional heating of seeds before cold pressing enables to increase the output of oil, though not considerably, compared with preliminary microwave processing. At the same time the changes in acid number and peroxide value are similar to cold pressing with microwave processing. The use of vacuum when heating seeds in a traditional way does not influence the output of flaxseed oil but enables to decrease acid number and peroxide value to the level which is characteristic for the oil in original seeds. Thus, it is reasonable to use preliminary microwave processing under vacuum before cold pressing with the view to produce food flaxseed oil of high quality in terms of oxidative deterioration and the increase of its output

Description
Currently, it is important to have a solution for problems related to the prevention of potential accidents and the minimization of technological risks, particularly in the oil and gas industry, the number of accidents in which remains at a high level. Causes of incidents and accidents at hazardous production facilities are often non-compliance with required technological parameters, insufficient equipment of the technological systems with safety devices and automated control systems of processes. The article presents a comparative analysis of the methods that can be used in identification of hazards at different stages of the life cycle of the technological object: location, design, commissioning, operation, reconstruction. In order to develop security measures for the selected plant, we have used a method of analysis hazard and operability (HAZOP). The object of the study was projected technological installation for obtaining of bitumen with 24 thousand tons per year performance on raw material. For the working group of experts we have step-described the order of research dangers of specific nodes of the process plant, including determining the adequacy of the protective measures provided by the project and the development of recommendations on elimination of the revealed deviations and to reduce the effects of their manifestation. The most harmful deviations of process parameters during operation of the installation were found. We have proposed hazard criteria of operation, taking into account the probability and severity of deviations of technological parameters. We have also confirmed that the HAZOP method allows not only to identify the causes of hazards and consequences of their implementation but also to develop recommendations for their elimination

Description
The role of transport in agricultural production is significant. It is the connecting link in the technological chain of the agro-industrial complex (of the APC). On-farm transport in the APC together with cars and tractor transport are widely used. The rationality of the use of wheeled tractors for farm transport substantiates the possibility of their movement on asphalt and on dirt roads. The specific gravity of the tractor transport in the domestic agriculture is 22-27% of the total volume of transport and 50-60% of the volume of farm traffic. A high level of use of tractor transport has been observed in the countries of Western Europe and the USA. In the farms of leading countries of Western Europe (Germany, Italy, France, etc.) about 70- 90% on-farm transport of agricultural goods is done by tractor transport. Tractor transport in a live environment is running on roads with varying terrain, a wavy profile cover, on soils with different hardness and humidity. When driving vehicles at high speeds, the trailer is wobbling from side to side, constantly accompanying tractor transport during its operation. As a result, it is bad for propulsion, transmission, and it deteriorates the dynamic performance properties of equipment, working conditions of the operator. To reduce the amplitude of oscillations of the trailer, the operator is forced to work strenuously with the steering wheel or to slow down the speed, which in turn affects operator fatigue, as well as the performance and maneuverability of the vehicle. Thus, advanced technologies in electronics, sensor technology and software will determine the nature of agro-technical innovations and will lead to increased automation of business processes in crop production with the aim to organize the work more effectively, efficiently, accurately, environmentally friendly and economically feasible. When working with intelligent technologies, understanding the development of high-tech, precision engineering requires a revision to the personnel policy and education in agriculture, which should be based on the relevant organization of farms and their proper new type engineering solutions

ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONING OF RAILROAD WAREHOUSE OF MINERAL FERTILIZERS
DescriptionThe railroad warehouse has most important role in the delivery process of fertilizers to agricultural consumers. It acts as logistics intermediaries. The analysis of material flows has been done on the example of a typical provider of mineral fertilizers in the South of the Rostov region (CJSC «Zernogradagrohimservis») for the last 6 years. Income values and implementation values are varied during the year synchronously for all fertilizers types with the exception of a few months at the beginning and the end of the year. During most of the year the enterprise operates as a negotiable warehouse. In January-February and October-December ammonium nitrate accumulates as a seasonal inventory for the spring peak of implementation, in the rest of the year its reserves are insurance. Stocks of other fertilizers types are insurance stocks for most of the year, in May-July occurs a slight accumulation of their seasonal stocks. A significant portion of mineral fertilizers (especially ammonium nitrate) is delivered for small enterprises and individual farms by cars of this provider. According to the supply contracts, a one-car-run is performed for the vast majority of customers. Routes of delivery of fertilizers are either radial or pendulum (with reverse idle mileage). Therefore, the optimization of the delivery of fertilizers does not seem possible by methods such as obtaining the shortest route network, consolidation of suppliers for consumers, etc.
