The article presents data characterizing the composition of macro and micronutrients from secondary resources of pumpkin processing – pumpkin pomace. We have found that extracts of pumpkin are valuable raw materials for the production of food additives, as they contain proteins, dietary fiber, including pectin and protopectin, minerals, as well as such biologically active substances as vitamin C, β- carotene and P-active substances using nuclear magnetic relaxation, it is shown that pretreatment of pomace pumpkin in the microwave electromagnetic field of certain parameters before IR drying allows to transfer part of the bound moisture free moisture, that allows to intensify the subsequent process IR drying. We have developed an innovative technology of production of food supplements from pumpkin extracts, which is protected by Russian patent for the invention and having the “know-how” status. The article presents data describing the organoleptic and physical and chemical indicators of quality nutritional supplements, formulated according to the developed technological regimes

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

Based on the complex of studies carried out, the formulation of wafers (wafer sheets) enriched with food additives "Powder from the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke" and skimmed sunflower lecithin was developed, as well as the formulation of fat filling enriched with a complex of food additives "Powder from tubers of Jerusalem artichoke", "Powder from hips" And low-fat sunflower lecithin. A recipe was developed and an assessment of the organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of enriched waffles with a filling was made. The storage period, ensuring safety and maximum preservation of consumer properties, was established. The study of the nutritional value of the developed waffles with filling allowed to establish that in comparison with the control sample they contain inulin and vitamin C, while the degree of satisfaction of the daily demand for these nutrients with consumption of 100 g of the developed product is 16.46 and 24.65% respectively. In addition, the developed products, in comparison with the control sample, are characterized by an increased content of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins B1, B2 and B6

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 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
