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

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

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

The article provides an overview of Express-methods of quality evaluation and identification of lipidcontaining plant raw materials (oil seeds) and its processed products (oil cakes, oilseed meals, vegetable oils, lecithins) using pulse method of nuclear magnetic resonance. Development of express methods of quality evaluation and identification of lipid-containing plant raw materials and products of its processing is a priority, as these methods are environmentally safe and also allow us to regulate technological conditions of refining processes, are characterized by low error of determination, i.e., high precision, and, in some cases, it is only possible to use because of its non-destructive effects on the analyzed sample. Currently, we can distinguish the following main directions of quality evaluation and identification of lipid-containing plant raw materials and products of its processing on the basis of the pulse method of nuclear magnetic resonance: assessment of quality and identification of oilseeds (sunflower, canola, flax, soybeans); evaluation of quality of products of processing of oil raw materials (cake and meal); the quality evaluation and identification of vegetable oils; assessment of the quality of the lecithins obtained from vegetable oils. The methods of quality evaluation and identification of lipid-containing plant raw materials and its products are patented and have several advantages: short time (5 minutes) spent on the implementation of the single analysis; eliminates the use of toxic chemicals; does not require special training of laboratory personnel; non-destructive character, which is especially important for oilseeds from the point of view of breeding work. On the basis of the conducted survey we can conclude that the pulse method of nuclear magnetic resonance has found wide application for assessment of quality and identification of lipidcontaining plant raw materials and products of its processing, through rapid capabilities, high accuracy and ease of analysis

To determine the mass fraction of linolenic acid in flax seed oil the authors developed a rapid method based on the pulse method of nuclear magnetic resonance with the use of NMR analyzers low resolution. This method has some significant advantages compared with the known method on the basis of chromatographic method for the determination of the mass fraction of linolenic acid in the oil extracted from the seeds of flax, namely, does not require additional sample preparation (extracting oil by solvent), eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, requires a much lower investment of time to conduct a single analysis, highly automated, and eliminates the influence of human factor on the research results. The method is based on the revealed correlation between the weighted average time spin-spin relaxation of protons contained in the triacylglycerols of the oil of the flax seed, and a mass fraction of linolenic acid in the seed oil at a temperature of 23ºc. In article results of research of influence of temperature on the weighted average time spin-spin relaxation of protons contained in the flax seed oil. Installed directly proportional linear relationship between the temperature of flax seeds and measured the average time spin-spin relaxation of protons oil contained in the flax seeds with the correlation coefficient is 0,930, the temperature change of the sample of seeds at 1 ° C leads to the change of the coefficient is 0.011 kt. The developed methodaccuracy in the temperature range from 20 to 26 ºC

The article provides experimental data, which help to substantiate the effectiveness and feasibility of application of plant resources, produced by the rubbing of the pears in the production process of puree as raw material for the production of secondary food additive. For the first time, with the use of pulsed NMR it is established that processing of secondary resources of pears processing in UHF EMF influence on the redistribution of bound and free moisture, i.e., the maximum transition was for linked moisture to free moisture, noted in the processing of secondary resources in UHF EMF with the rate of heating (increase in temperature) 0,4 °С/s to a temperature of 60 °С. It is established that such processing of secondary resources of processing of pears allows to increase the average speed of the subsequent IR-drying and reduce the time IR drying in 2 times in comparison with IR-drying of control sample (without pretreatment in UHF EMF). Pre-treatment of secondary resources of processing of pears to UHF EMF for the identified modes allows for their subsequent IR-drying to reduce the loss of vitamin C, 23.9% and P-active substances – by 20.6% compared with the control sample. We have developed technological modes of production of food additives from secondary resources of processing of pears, providing maximum preservation in its composition of thermolabile biologically active substances – vitamin C and P-active substances. On the basis of these studies, there was developed a set of technical documentation, including TU 10.39.25-423- 040801346-2016 "Food additive. Pear Powder" and a technological instruction for the production of food additives

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
