The article analyzes the ways of ensuring a stable quality of vegetable raw materials in the process of storage and use of biopreparations patented in Russia and abroad. The search was conducted in the period from 1995 to 2015 on the databases of the patent agencies of the Russian Federation, the United States, Japan and the European Patent Organization. We have systematized the patented methods, the implementation of which can increase the shelf life of vegetable raw materials. The study led to the conclusion of the usefulness of developing innovative ways of ensuring a stable quality of vegetable raw materials in the process of storage using biopreparations

An analysis of patented in Russia and abroad methods for providing preservation of plant products, particularly apples and pears, was carried out in the article. The patent search was made for the period from 1995 to 2015 in the databases of patent offices of the United States of America, Japan and European patent organization. The patented methods, realization of which allows increasing of storage life of agricultural products by means of using different kinds of electromagnetic radiation, regulating the content of gaseous medium in the storage, treating with chemical substances, inhibiting the microbiological processes, creating hermetic storing conditions, were systematized. The realized research allowed drawing a conclusion on the relevance of work in the field of search for new methods for providing stable quality of fruits in the process of storing, particularly with the use of electromagnetic fields of very low frequency

The article presents results of research of quality, safety and content of biologically active substances of food red beet roots of Bordo 237 variety, grown in the Krasnodar region in 2014. On the basis of the research carried out it was established, that there are carbohydrates, proteins, organic acids and mineral substances in the food red beet roots of Bordo 237 variety. Food red beet roots are a source of dietary fibers (pectin, protopectin, hemicelluloses and cellulose), possessing antitoxic, antioxidant, radiation protective, cholesterol-lowering and lipid correcting qualities, and also a source of vitamins C, B9 (folic acid) and P-active substances, possessing antioxidant properties. Due to high content in food red beet of a complex of microelements – iron, zinc, manganese and copper, and a complex of macro elements – potassium and magnesium, it can be recommended for prophylaxis and treatment of hypertension, atherosclerosis and other diseases of heart and vascular system, and for prophylaxis of iron-deficiency anemia. Thus, the research of quality, safety and content of biologically active substances showed that food red beet roots of Bordo 237 variety are a high quality component ingredient for creation of food products of specialized and functional purpose
