Abstract

This article focuses on the possibilities and methods of integrating enterosorbents into the composition of yoghurts in order to increase the body's ability to eliminate heavy metals. Not only the perspectives of this introduction are considered, but also the different methods of implementation, creating promising avenues for the development of functional products that promote detoxification of the body. This research represents not only a contribution to the field of food innovation, but also a response to the current challenges of heavy metal levels in the environment and the desire to improve the health and well-being of society.

This study examines the potential of using a polycomponent blend of hawthorn and mountain ash syrup, activated charcoal as a control and the dietary supplement RotovitCardio as enterosorbents. These natural ingredients not only provide sustainable options, but also have the potential to improve the way heavy metals are eliminated from the body through innovative products such as yoghurts. This approach not only reduces the cost of production, making the product more affordable, but is also actively embedded in the environmental paradigm, providing an answer to the challenges of strain on natural resources. These components, taken from different sources, emphasise the diversity of the substances investigated and offer opportunities to understand differences in application and sorption capacity. In this context, analysing pectin-containing, porous products provides a fascinating insight into their potential to create products that harmonise health care and responsibility to nature. This innovative approach not only forms the basis for functional products, but also supports the idea of sustainable consumption, making it an important step towards future wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This article describes the method of obtaining the food antibiotic kormogrizin using a mutant strain of Actinomyces griseus. It is known that the scope of application of antibiotics in agriculture, medicine and food industry, fodder production is wide. Aerobic, anaerobic and facultative-anaerobic species of actinomycetes were isolated in the course of scientific research work on the production of kormogrizin in laboratory conditions. One of the peculiarities of the microorganisms Actinomyces griseus is that the vegetative cell TB 633 FU undergoes mutagenic changes in the logarithmic phase of growth. When conducting the research, the distance between the Petri dishes was 15 cm, and the BUF-15 lamp was used as an ultraviolet light source. In the research work, the activity of the fodder antibiotic was determined by the diffusion method, and it is also necessary to observe the temperature regime. In the next period of research, they controlled the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibiotics and placed them on paper discs. When the diameter of the inoculation zone of microorganisms was more than 25 mm, the sensitivity of the culture to antibiotics was high, and, accordingly, when the diameter of the inoculation zone was less than 10 mm, the level of sensitivity also decreased. The biological activity of antibiotics is determined by the diffusion method based on the comparison of growth inhibition. The requirements of the melting temperature and the seed medium were taken into account, and a sterile cylinder was used with the help of a stencil. Kormogrizin allows to increase the productivity of farm animals by 10-12%. Emphasis is placed on the main indicators of the antibiotic release process - temperature, duration of cultivation, pH of the medium. The relevance of this article is also high, as it is clear that the production of food antibiotics in laboratory conditions will contribute to the solution of important production and economic problems in the future.

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of ultrasonic treatment on changes in the quality of meat.

In most of the previous studies on the use of ultrasonic treatment, a positive effect on the quality of meat and meat products was noted. Ultrasonic processing is widespread in accelerating technological processes, improving the functional, technological and structural and mechanical properties of meat.

In the course of these studies, meat samples of various animal species were subjected to ultrasound exposure of various durations, after which changes in shear stress, moisture binding capacity and microbiological parameters of pork, beef, mutton and horse meat were determined. As a result, ultrasonic processing has reduced the stress of cutting all types of meat. The optimal duration of ultrasonic treatment has been determined, which increases the moisture binding capacity of meat. As the duration of ultrasonic treatment increased, a decrease in the number of pathogenic microorganisms in meat was observed.

Based on the results of these studies, it was concluded that ultrasonic treatment is important for the meat industry, since this method can be used as a non-thermal effect to improve physical, biochemical and microbiological characteristics that increase the quality, safety and increase the shelf life of various meat products.

Abstract

Popular products in the consumer market of the Republic of Kazakhstan are meat semi-finished products. At the same time, according to trends in consumer demand, chopped semifinished products retain priority positions. An effective approach to replace part of meat raw materials in the formulations of chopped semi-finished products is the development of functional analogs of meat raw materials and products on its basis using vegetable raw material sources. An important task is to ensure the hydration characteristics of the food system, are not inferior to the basic recipes of meat semi-finished products of traditional composition. The work aims to investigate the influence of protein-carbohydrate composition (PCC) from soya okara, chickpea flour, and whey protein concentrate WPC-80 on moisture capacity and the ratio of forms of moisture binding in meat minced semi-finished products with the use of actual for the Republic of Kazakhstan types of meat raw materials - beef, mutton, poultry meat. The results allow for comparing temperature intervals of stages of thermal transformation and the quantity of water removed at separate stages of dehydration from the phase of investigated samples. The first stage, corresponding to the removal of physico-mechanically bound moisture, occurs in the temperature range from room temperature to 32-34°C for all samples. The amount of such water in the sample phase does not exceed 2 %. Osmotically bound moisture removed at the second stage is the basis of all water saturating the samples. Its quantity is maximum in the composition of samples № 2 and № 3. At the same time, the widest temperature range of the second stage of dehydration also characterizes samples № 2 and 3: 94 °C and 103 °C, respectively. Removal of adsorption and chemically bound moisture at the third stage of thermal transformation occurs at high temperatures and may be accompanied by thermolysis of sample components. The share of moisture removed at this stage of the process from the phase of the sample does not exceed 16.3 %, which is maximum for PCC and minimum for sample № 4 (13.7 %). The results indicate a higher hydration level of the samples prepared according to the modified formulations with PCC, compared to the control sample. This is due to the influence of protein-carbohydrate complexes containing polysaccharides, simple sugars, and disaccharides on the degree of water molecules binding.

Abstract

Since gluten-free dough lacks structuring gluten, it should be replaced by hydrocolloids or other water-binding compounds, such as guar gum, xanthan or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Typically, gluten-free bread recipes contain higher amounts of starch and are processed with more water compared to wheat and rye doughs, resulting in a liquid dough consistency. As a consequence, the overall nutritional value of these breads is not well balanced. They are rich in carbohydrates and lack dietary fiber. Zein is a unique substitute for gluten in a gluten-free system because of its viscoelastic properties similar to gluten. Corn grain prolamin, zein, has shown some promise in behaving like wheat gluten because it can form a viscoelastic protein network when the protein is held and mixed at 35°C or more, which is above its glass transition temperature (Tg). Zein (corn prolamine) can exhibit viscoelastic functionality similar to gluten in aqueous dough systems when heated above its glass transition temperature (Tg). These zein-based doughs exhibit a fibrous network that also exhibits characteristics similar to those of gluten-based doughs. However, such zein-based doughs have limited gas-holding capacity and are significantly more stretchable than gluten-based doughs. In this paper, we investigate the rheological properties of zein-based dough and its quality parameters.

Abstract

Today, from the industrial applications point of view, getting dry food products by infrared radiation is considered the most relevant and perspective. Such properties of any object as absorption and emission of radiation in the infrared spectrum give possibility to dry them at moderate temperatures and rapidly. This technology makes it possible to gain dry items with high shelf-life due to their resistance to microorganisms. Infrared drying of products reduces drying time several times. As a result, the quality of ready items is very high and in addition ecologically pure. Also the form of cutting of raw materials before drying has some influence on time of process. The objects of study were samples of vegetables and corn planted in the experimental plot Kainar Bulak (Shymkent).During the drying process, vegetables as carrot and beet which were broken in the form of shavings reached required moisture 12.30% and 11.50% accordingly in two and half hours. Samples in the form of cubes were dried to these numbers only in three hours. Additionally, performed experiments indicate that there is no need for preliminary heat treatment (blanching) of samples. Reducing the time and temperature of heat treatment for corn also gave positive results. Thus, drying chopped vegetables and corn for further use in the food industry using infrared radiation is promising and cost-effective.

Abstract

The dairy industry, as one of the main components of the food industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, should not only provide the population with traditional types of milk and its processed products, but also participate in the formation of the concept of healthy nutrition by producing dairy products with new nutritional and biological properties aimed at improving the health of the population of all age categories. One of such directions is the enrichment of the composition of such products with biologically active substances from plant raw materials of local growth.

Our previous studies have shown that the combination of raw milk raw materials, represented by cow's and mare's milk in a ratio of 85% and 15%, respectively, improves the physico-chemical, mineral and amino acid composition of the fermented milk product obtained from this raw material due to the presence of mare's milk in it.

The use of an extract of vegetable raw materials for the enrichment of a fermented milk product is the next stage of our research on the production of functional dairy products. The article presents the results of experiments conducted to select the parameters of fermentation of the initial combined dairy raw materials with a starter culture containing meso-thermophilic cultures together with a plant extract with a study of the mineral, chemical, microbiological and amino acid composition of the resulting fermented milk product.

A plant extract obtained from 6 types of medicinal plants was selected, consisting of 20 parts of hawthorn, 5 parts of sage, oregano, thyme, basil and 2.5 parts of cloves. The optimal amount of plant extract for enriching the fermented milk product has been established – no more than 3% of the total volume of the initial milk raw materials, which allows to correspond to the number of dairy microorganisms – at least 1 x 106 CFU/ cm3 , the normalized value laid down in TR CU 033/2013, and also not to worsen the organoleptic parameters of the final fermented milk product.

The content of amino acids in the fermented milk product due to enrichment with plant extract, for example, arginine increases by 2.5 times, lysine by 2 times, tyrosine by 15%, phenylalanine by 25%, histidine by 33%, leucine isoleucine compared to the original dairy raw materials by 37%.

Abstract

The article presents the results of the use of plant extract from hops in the production of cheese in order to enrich it with antioxidant properties. The main material of the study was hops growing in the Abad region. It was previously shown that the protein content in ordinary hops was 1.7 times less (19%) than in baker's yeast (33%), while the tannin content in ordinary hops was quite high (3.8%). As is known, tannins have anti-ulcer, capillary-strengthening and analgesic properties, which increases the interest of researchers in using ordinary hops as functional properties.

The article presents the results of studies of physico-chemical and organoleptic parameters of soft brine cheese. One of the important indicators in determining the quality of raw materials and in choosing them as raw materials for further processing is its physico-chemical properties and organoleptic characteristics. Under laboratory conditions, the results of a study were obtained to determine the physico-chemical parameters, organoleptic quality indicators of soft brine cheese.

The safety parameters of hops have been studied in order to produce cheese of guaranteed quality, as well as the physico-chemical composition of raw milk. The stage of application of plant extract is determined - in the process of forming the cheese mass. Studies have also been conducted on the content of vitamin C in various cheese samples with different content of hop extract. The effect of the introduction of hop extract on the organoleptic properties of the product has been studied. It should be noted that the use of plants with antioxidant properties can significantly reduce the rate of oxidative spoilage of dairy products. The obtained results of the study allow us to consider.

Abstract

Currently, more and more attention is paid to the quality of food products and especially products that are sold in a chilled state. This is due to the fact that these products have a limited shelf life and to a greater extent must retain all quality characteristics. At the same time, refrigeration processes bear the main burden in terms of energy consumption, and therefore directly affect the cost and quality of the product. In this regard, reasonable refrigeration regimes are an integral part of production. This paper presents a study of various ways of cooling chicken meat, with the simulation of various parameters of the process of heat removal in the refrigerator. The studies were carried out on an operating experimental facility at various temperatures and air speeds, both simple air cooling and air-drop cooling were carried out. In the course of the study, the duration and dependences of the temperature of the cooled sample and the drying of the product on the mode of refrigeration were established. As a result of mathematical processing for the most optimal mode, analytical dependences of the shrinkage value of the test sample were obtained.

As a result of the research, the most appropriate mode of refrigeration treatment of chicken meat was recommended, which allows to reduce the weight loss of products during the cooling process.

Abstract

The results of the investigations are presented on the effect of irradiation with electrons, ions of inert gases (Ne, Ar, Kr) and oxygen on the structure and properties of Nd-doped barium cerate by the methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, thermal desorption spectroscopy. It is shown that the low-energy irradiation with Ne and Ar ions stimulates the blistering processes on the surface, whereas the high energy ion irradiation by Ne, Ar, Kr ions the cerate surface undergoes the following stages of the spherulite growth - nucleation, growth (view of cauliflower), formation of spherulitic crust, correspondingly. The similar structures were not observed in the case of irradiation with high-energy oxygen ions. It is noticed that the irradiation of cerates with electrons leads to the formation of nano-sized acicular structures on the surface. The radiation of lowenergy ions of inert gases led to the conversion of most of the neodymium into a tetravalent state, as has been shown, accompanied by an increase in oxygen release and a decrease in water compared to non-irradiated cerate, as well as the independence of the amount of gases from the type of ions. Based on the data on thermal desorption of water and oxygen molecules from the irradiated barium cerate it was assumed that the irradiation stimulates the oxidation to Nd4+.

Abstract

Antimony is widely used in modern science and technology. Currently, the most important consumer of high-purity antimony is the semiconductor industry.

The article presents the results of the analysis of metallurgical samples for the content of antimony, which belongs to the group of harmful impurities.

Traditionally, the decomposition of metallurgical samples is carried out by acid dissolution of the sample, alkali fusion or sintering. The least labor-intensive method is acid dissolution. However, this method has a number of significant disadvantages: incomplete opening, loss of antimony due to the hydrolysis of its salts, and the interfering influence of accompanying elements that also pass into solution during acidic dissolution of the sample. The most reliable results in the photometric determination of antimony content can be obtained by sintering a sample, accompanied by the separation of interfering elements by their precipitation in the form of carbonates and the transfer of antimony into a form that is not subject to hydrolysis (MexSbyOz antimonates). However, the specific conditions for the sintering process of antimony-containing metallurgical samples are not described in the literature.

The work proposes a method for the decomposition of metallurgical samples, which consists of sintering the samples under study with Na2CO3 + ZnO. The phase composition of the presented samples has been established. A calibration characteristic for the photometric determination of antimony content in the concentration range from 1•10-3 to 1•10-2 mg/ml at a wavelength of 425 nm was constructed.

Abstract

Among the technologies designed to save energy, flow-through batteries deserve special attention. Their principle of operation is based on the use of systems of variably valent ions. The aim of the work is to create a chemical current source based on the use of the "red – ox" Fe(II)/Fe(III) system and to determine the patterns of formation of electromotive force (EMF) and short-circuit current (SCC) in acidic solutions depending on the concentration of ions. The experiments are carried out by measuring the EMF formed between graphite electrodes and SCC. A special installation has been assembled, consisting of an electrolyzer with separated electrode spaces, an ammeter, a voltmeter and graphite electrodes. Acidified solutions of iron (II) and iron (III) sulfates served as the electrolyte. In an electrolyzer, the electrode spaces of which are separated by an anionite membrane, when one space is filled with iron (II) sulfate and the other with iron (III) sulfate, an EMF occurs between graphite electrodes. When making contact between graphite electrodes, iron (II) oxidation occurs in the first electrode space, and iron (III) reduction occurs in the second. A chemical current source is being formed. At a concentration of iron (III) equal to 20 g/l, a change in the concentration of iron (II) in the range of 1-40 g / l contributes to a shift in the potential of the graphite electrode to negative values. At a concentration of Fe(III) equal to 1 g/l, the potential value is 509 mV, and at 40 g / l – 475 mV. At a constant concentration of iron (II), the addition of Fe(III) leads to a shift in the EMF value to the right. It was found that as a result of these changes, an increase in EMF and SCC is observed.

Abstract

The study aims to provide a modern overview of the properties of keratin-containing raw materials from animal waste among the research scientists over the past decades and to show the important role of keratin in science. This review examines the composition and types of keratin, the scope of application, the functions of keratin, distribution in animal husbandry and fish farming, as well as in mammals. It is important to note that keratin is widely used in biomedicine, tissue engineering, bioplastics, textiles, biocomposites in construction and building materials. This article reveals the physical and chemical properties and advantages of keratin, such as biodegradability, mechanical abilities, resistance to temperature conditions and thermal conductivity. Keratin can be synthesized from different raw materials, such as wool, hair, bird feathers, using different methods. The extraction method can be of several types: oxidative and reducing, as well as extraction by steam explosion. Extracted keratin has generated increased interest for its study and research for medical purposes, or rather the first innovative discoveries were made among cosmetics, coatings for medicines and fibers. Keratin extracted from animal waste represents a promising active biomolecule for biological and biomaterial applications. The exceptional properties that keratin transmits by virtue of its nature open up the possibility of replacing synthetic materials with biomaterials more compatible with humans and biodegradable, which can improve the overall economy of the closed cycle of agro-industrial complexes.
