ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF FOOD ADDITIVES DERIVED FROM SECONDARY PLANT RESOURCES
Description
The 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"

Description
Long-term storage of fruits can be achieved by means of decreasing microbial contamination of their surface as a result of fruits pre-treatment by biopreparations before dispatching for storage. In the current study patterns of influence of fruits pre-treatment with the “Ekstrasol” biopreparation in a number of concentrations of bioagent on the microbial contamination of their surface during storage are revealed. The “Ekstrasol” preparation is a biofungicide, containing the Ch-13 strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria and their metabolites. As research objects there were chosen apples of a zoned in the Krasnodar region variety called Idared and pears of a zoned in the Krasnodar region variety called Conference, harvested in 2016. The apples and the pears were stored over a period of 6 months in the low temperature conditions. Samples were withdrawn every month over the period of storing. The species composition and quantity of the most prevalent microorganisms, potentially causing the spoilage of apples and pears during storing, were identified. The optimal concentration of the bioagent, which provides the maximal decreasing of microbial contamination of fruits’ (apples and pears) surface, is established – 106 CFU/g, dosage of solution – 1 ml per 100 g of fruit

THE EFFECT OF PLANT FOOD ADDITIVES ON THE PROPERTIES OF WHEAT FLOUR AND DOUGH
Description
The article presents data describing composition of macronutrients and food additives "Apple Powder" and food additive "Pumpkin Powder" obtained from secondary resources processing of apples and pumpkins with innovative technology that ensures their high antioxidant activity. Introduction of the studied food additives in wheat flour provides a boost of its antioxidant activity compared to the control (wheat flour without any additives). We have revealed that the introduction of the studied food additives in wheat flour provides a strengthening effect to the gluten flour, while dietary Supplement Powder called "Apple" has a strengthening effect on the gluten of wheat flour compared with a dietary Supplement called "Pumpkin Powder". We proved a positive impact of food additives on the gas-forming ability of wheat flour and water absorption capacity of dough; at he same time, with the same dosage of additives, water absorption capacity of dough with the introduction of additives of "Pumpkin Powder" is higher than this figure with the introduction of the additives of "Apple Powder", due to the higher content of pectin in the additive "Pumpkin Powder " compared with the additive "Apple Powder", having a high water-holding capacity. We have found that the dough with the introduction of the investigated supplements has the best rheological properties in comparison with control samples. The obtained results allow us to develop evidence-based formulation and technological modes of production of bakery products enriched with antioxidant properties, with the use of food additives called " Apple Powder" and "Pumpkin Powder"

Description
The article presents the results of studying the influence of the method of treatment before storage and storage parameters, including the relative air humidity, on the value of general losses of carrots. The taproots treatment before putting into storage was carried out with electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency and the bio-preparation Vitaplan. After treatment, the taproots were kept at a temperature of +2±1°С for 56 days and +25±1°С for 21 days. In the process, the relative air humidity was changed from 40 to 90%. At a storage temperature of +2±1°C, the lowest total loss was observed at a relative humidity of 90%. At a storage temperature of +25±1°С, the optimal, from the point of view of decreasing the general losses, turned out to be the relative air humidity of 70%: with decreasing relative air humidity to 40%, significant increase of natural losses was observed, because the taproots were losing water intensively, and with increasing relative air humidity to 90%, favorable conditions were created for the growth of pathogenic microflora, which caused significant losses from the microbiological decay. The method of pretreatment of carrot taproots, providing the lowest general loss during storage in all the studied conditions, was joint treatment with ELF EMF and the bio-preparation called Vitaplan

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY OF DUALSTAGE OBTAINING RAW JUICE AND ITS PURIFYING IN SUGAR INDUSTRY
Description
The typical scheme of sugar beet processing, used at most sugar beet factories in Russia has not been fundamentally changed for several dozens of years. As a result, the performance indicators of domestic beetprocessing enterprises are below the world average. The article considers the technology of two-stage extraction and subsequent lime-carbon dioxide raw juice purification with the separation of the preliming sludge and carrying out the carbonation treatment in one step. The theoretical foundations of a two-stage extraction of sucrose from sugar beet cossettes are described and the main criteria for its implementation are given. The chemistry of calcium compounds upon activation of a suspension of saturation precipitation, returned to a progressive preliminary defecation, is shown. On that the increasing of sedimentationfiltration properties of the preliming sludge is based that allows its separation on the existing equipment in based. The theoretical premises for carrying out saturation in a homogeneous liquid-liquid environment are given and practical principles for their realization are described. The comparative evaluation of existing and improved sugar beet processing technologies is carried out. The improved technology makes it possible to reduce the amount of raw juice while improving its purity, thereby reducing the consumption of auxiliary materials, fuel and energy resources, simplifying the technological scheme while improving the quality of the purified juice, namely, its higher purity, achieved by reducing the degree of transition of high-molecular compounds in it and increasing the effect of destruction of reducing substances

THE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF RICE QUALITY ON THE EFFICIENCY OF ITS PROCESSING
Description
There were presented comparative analysis’ results of criteria rice quality used in Russian and international standards. Also there were shown summarized statistical analysis’ results of rice quality that was processed in 2013-2016 on rice mill plant at “Krasnodarzernoprodukt” Company. The purpose of research was to find factors that had influence on combining rice bulk effectiveness on specialized elevator. It was found that diapason of rice moisture content was quite small. Red rice content was ranging from 1.08 to 5.10 % with confidence interval of 1.98- 2.56 % that is evidence of small amounts of rice bulks with extreme high or low red rice content. Broken rice content varied in the wide range from 3.43 to 9.26 % with confidence interval from 5.84 to 7.26 % that shows necessity in length grading procedure applying for broken kernels removing at the elevator unit. Grain impurities content exceeded basic norm in 3-4 times that is a sign of low efficiency in the process of separation. During the treatment of rice bulks combined at the grain cleaning unit of rice plant broken rice cereals output varied in wide range from 3 to 9 % during single shift that is seems to be connected with kernels cracking increasing and rice moisture decreasing. Moreover, rice bran output also varied in a wide diapason from 10.2 to 17.0 % that could be explained by big swing in rice moisture, glassy texture and cracking of rice grains. According to our research it was investigated that current rice quality control system that is a base instrument of rice bulks forming for further processing is not quite efficient and as a result there should be created and implemented new methods and technical devices for quick and proper grain control that could assure stable technological regimes at different stages of rice treatment process and that would provide the best quality and the biggest output of rice cereals

Description
Fruits are an important part of the diet of humans and many animals. In case of an improperly organized process of storing of fruits, the loss of mass and decrease of quality can be substantial. This makes relevant the research, aimed at enhancing existing and developing new technologies of fruits storing. In this article, the results of the investigation of influence of complex treatment of fruits with electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency (EMF ELF) and а biopreparation on the change of microbial contamination of their surface and on the loss of mass in the process of long-term storage are revealed. Apples of the Idared variety and pears of the Conference variety were the objects of research. The change of microbial contamination of the surface of fruits, undergone a few types of pre-treatment (EMP ELF, bio-preparation “Vitaplan”, complex treatment “EMP ELF + the biopreparation” and no special treatment), after storing during 7 months in case of pears and 8 months in case of apples is shown in the article. It was found, that the greatest decrease of content of microorganisms on the fruits’ surface is achieved as a result of the complex treatment, combining the treatment with EMP ELF and an aqueous solution of the “Vitaplan” bio-preparation. The effective parameters of such a treatment for apples and pears are represented
