A selection of food additives for the enrichment of waffle products was made. Food additive "Powder from tubers of Jerusalem artichoke" is distinguished by a high content of inulin - 46.21%. Low-fat sunflower lecithin contains a significant amount of phospholipids (98.29%). The influence of the joint application of food additives "Powder from the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke" and nonfat sunflower lecithin on the technological properties of the wafer test was studied. It is established that the introduction of the food additive "Powder from the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke" together with defatted sunflower lecithin, instead of the traditional soybean, allows to reduce the viscosity of the wafer test. When introduced into wafer dough, the dosage of defatted sunflower lecithin can be reduced, compared to soybean, from 0.4 to 0.2% by weight of flour

Long-term storage of fruits can be achieved by means of their special preparation by pre-treatment before storage by electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency (ELF EMF). In the current study patterns of influence of ELF EMF pre-treatment of fruits on the effectiveness of reducing microbial contamination during storage for the development of effective technological modes of preparation of fruits before storage are revealed. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of microbial contamination of the fruits’ surface were studied. Effective modes of fruits (apples and pears) treatment by ELF EMF were established - for apples: frequency - 22 Hz, current - 10 A for 40 minutes, and for pears: frequency - 26 Hz, current - 5 A for 50 minutes, allowing to reduce to the maximum extent the microbial contamination of their surface, and also to reduce the loss of their weight from microbial spoilage during storage. The terms of storage of processed by ELF EMF fruits under refrigeration were established - for apple varieties Idared and Golden Delicious - within 8 months, for pear variety Conference - for 7 months

In recent decades, Russia has increased the demand for high oleic sunflower oil and, consequently, for the raw material from which it is derived – high oleic sunflower seeds. Currently existing methods of control of mass fraction of oleic acid in the seed oil of sunflower, have significant drawbacks, due to which sharply raises the question of the development of the Express methods of control of mass fraction of oleic acid. The study presents the results of determining the mass fraction of oleic acid in the oil of sunflower seeds, obtained by known methods (GC and ri), and developed a method based on NMR. The developed method of determining the mass fraction of oleic acid in sunflower seed oil has a number of advantages compared with the known: is not destructive (does not require the extraction of oil from seeds), does not require special sample preparation excludes the use of toxic chemicals, the analysis duration is 5 minutes, ensuring high representativeness of the sample, and the simplicity and automation of the analysis process reduces the requirements for qualifications of laboratory personnel. The developed method of determining the mass fraction of oleic acid in the oil of sunflower seeds can be carried out simultaneously with the determination of oil and moisture content of seeds on commercially available analyzers, but I hope it 1006М, which is currently applied at more than 250 companies of oil and fat industry

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
