Technologies of fruits storing known at the present
time, solving actual problems – slowing down
biochemical processes, inhibiting ethylene synthesis,
do not provide fully the preservation of quality of
fruits due to not taking into consideration the
peculiarities of microflora of fruits and
microbiological processes, taking place during storage.
Purpose of the research: investigation of influence of
complex treatment of fruits with electromagnetic fields
of extremely low frequency (ELF EMF) and the biopreparation
“Vitaplan” on changing of losses of
biologically active substances in the process of longterm
storage. Objects of the research: apples of the
Idared variety and pears of the Conference variety,
regionalized in the Krasnodar region. Mass shares of
the vitamin C and P-active substances were measured in the process of storing. ELF EMF treatment was
conducted on an experimental installation. Fruits were
exposed to the action of electromagnetic fields with
specified parameters. Complex treatment of fruits
(apples and pears) with ELF EMF and the biopreparation
“Vitaplan” before dispatching for storage
allows preserving the biologically active substances –
the vitamin C and P-active substances – to the
maximum degree. Synergetic effect, appearing due to
the complex action of electromagnetic field and the
bio-preparation, allows decreasing the processing time
in the electromagnetic field
The article presents the results of the research of the
influence of preliminary treatment of garden beet roots
with electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency
on the loss of dry and biologically active substances,
such as vitamin C and P-active substances, in the
process of long term storage. Garden beet roots of
Bordo 237 variety were the objects of research. The
objects of research were stored for 7 months at a
temperature of 0…+1° С and relative humidity of 90
%. Sampling was carried out every month during the
entire storage period. The treatment with
electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency was
carried out using an experimental setup of our own
assembly. As a result of the conducted research it is
established, that the treatment of garden beet roots of
Bordo 237 variety with electromagnetic fields of
extremely low frequency before dispatching into
storage allows to decrease the losses of dry substances
by 4,1 % by the end of the 7 months storage period, and
also to decrease the losses of vitamin C by 14,8 % and
P-active substances by 15,1 %. The data obtained can
be used to develop new or improve existing
technologies of garden beet roots storing
