Fruit shell - a waste of food and technical products. Only in rare cases they are used adequately to their rich chemical composition. Number of pectin substances in the structural components of the cell walls of fruit shells rather high. We investigated the quantity and quality of fruit shells contained soy pectin. The result of these studies was the proposed method for producing pectin extract from this kind of raw material. It describes how to work on the creation of a method for producing pectin extract from the leaf of soybeans. It's possible to extract pectin from the raw material, not previously used and pectin extract standard quality by applying advanced parameters of the process of conducting the hydrolysis-extraction. Valves soybeans washed with cold drinking water, dried and then pulverized. Then the purification is carried out by impurities. After that hydrolysis-extraction is carried out with a solution of succinic acid with heating. Separation of the liquid phase is carried out after completion of the hydrolease-extraction. We have developed and implemented as described above, the method solves the problem of soybean seed production waste

At present, electrochemical analysis methods are increasingly used to solve the problem of research on quantitative and qualitative indicators of organic substances. One of the most common electrochemical methods of analysis is conductometry. Along with the straight line, indirect conductometry is often used, in which the substances under analysis react with the corresponding components before the measurement, and the fixed change in electrical conductivity is determined exclusively by the presence of the products of the reaction that occurred. A necessary condition for the application of this method is the presence of ions in the reaction medium, and since the pectic substances are polyelectrolytes, this condition is met, which allows us to use the conductometric titration method to determine the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pectic substances. The technique we propose relates to technical biochemistry, namely, to the determination of the amount of pectin substances in plant raw materials. We have prepared "standardized" solutions of fractions of pectin substances. Samples of solutions of fractions are taken. Saponification of fractions of pectin substances in the samples of the solutions under analysis is carried out with 2.5 ml of 40% NaOH solution. Fractions of the pectin substances are precipitated with 2.5 ml of concentrated HCl. The solutions to be analyzed are centrifuged in 50 ml test strips at a rotor speed of at least 5000 rpm for 5-7 min. Suspensions of pectin fractions with distilled water are suspended in a beaker for titration with a magnetic stirrer for at least 30 minutes. Conductometric titration of suspensions of precipitates of fractions of pectic substances is carried out with stirring. Based on the results of conductometric titration, graphs are plotted, according to which the volume of titrant consumed for titration of pectic acid is established. Calculation of the mass fraction of fractions of pectic substances is carried out according to the formula. The methodology is distinguished by the simplicity of implementation, which makes it possible to obtain accurate data at high convergence of parallel analyzes, and it saves labor and time costs at all stages of the process

One of the main ways to increase the economic efficiency and environmental safety of the food industry is the introduction of low-waste and non-waste technologies. A vivid example of the technologies of this group is the production of pectin and pectin products from processing residues for food needs of plant objects - various fruits. We have developed a number of ways of obtaining pectin products from unconventional raw materials objects and on their basis we propose technologies for obtaining commodity pectin and pectin extracts from fruit shells of soya, sainfoin, castor oil, tunga and black nuts. For the purpose of operational analytical control of the pectin complex of the listed raw materials, two methods have been proposed, one of which is presented in the article. The presented technique allows determining the amount of pectin by its fractions at any company of pectin production with minimum expenditure of labor and energy. The methodology is implemented as follows. We dry paper folded filters to constant weight. Standardized solutions of protopectin and hydratopectin are prepared. Samples are taken. Then we neutralize the acid solution of protopectin solution and saponize the pectin substances in the analyzed solutions with 40% NaOH solution for 15 minutes. After that, the pectic substances are precipitated with concentrated HCl and the precipitates are filtered. Then the precipitates on the filters are repeatedly washed with cold distilled water to completely remove the chlorine ions. Filters with precipitation are dried to constant weight. The mass fraction of fractions of pectin substances is calculated by formulas for hydratopectin and protopectin alone. The method as a whole makes it possible to improve the accuracy of the results of determining the mass fraction of pectic substances in plant raw materials, to reduce labor and time costs, and to exclude the use of specific equipment

The main way to extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetable raw materials is low-temperature drying, characterized by high quality products, low energy consumption and affordable cost of finished products. More fully, a two-stage drying, the first stage of which is convective drying and the second stage - convective vacuum drying, meet such requirements. The article substantiates the prospects for the use of fruit and berry powders in public catering, using electro-physical effects that significantly reduce the loss of valuable components of the feedstock. The authors proposed a combination of conventional convective dewatering processes with vacuum microwave treatment, in order to achieve high quality indices of dried products. The aim of the work is to reduce energy consumption for drying and improve the quality of finished products. Among the objects of research, there are fruit and vegetable raw materials, designs of drying plants and technological modes of two-stage drying and devices providing it. The research subjects include the establishment of the properties of fruit and vegetable raw materials in the process of two-stage drying. The methods of research are based on the use of modern methods of analysis and instrumentation. On the way of widespread introduction of powders into the production of various food products, there is a problem of insufficient attention of producers to this type of product, low volumes of its production and monopoly of individual producers of powders

In recent years, the problem of deficiency of biologically active substances in a number of food products has arisen. This is due to a deterioration in the quality of seed and planting material and, accordingly, a decrease in the content of BAS in the cultivated fruit and vegetable raw materials. In this regard, processing companies are forced to fill the lack of vitamins and dyes with synthetic components. The aim of the research is to obtain concentrated food additives from domestic plant raw materials. To achieve this goal, the tasks of obtaining powders from fruits and berries are solved with maximum preservation of BAS of the raw material during drying. High-quality powders from fruits and berries are obtained by cryogenic technology, using liquid nitrogen at one or several stages of the process. As intermediate results of the research, the paper presents materials on the dispersion composition of cryopowders and the solubility of their various fractions in aqueous media. The technology of obtaining and using powdered food additives from fruits and berries, ground in liquid nitrogen, has been approved. The comparative characteristics of the composition cryopowders from apricot, sea-buckthorn, pumpkin, feijoa and persimmon are given. The results of the studies confirmed the expediency of using cryopowders from fruits and berries to enrich various food products
