The article considers problematic practical moments of compliance with the rules and methods of research of safety indicators of non-food products in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union. The authors give examples of the inconsistency of the measurement procedures presented in the lists, indicated in the lists of various technical regulations for the study of non-food products, directly affects the work of laboratories and limits their ability to conduct research. Using the example of methods for determining the concentration of formaldehyde in air extracts indicated in different technical regulations for non-food products, it is shown that in practice there are situations when the same safety index for different groups of goods is investigated according to different measurement methods. It has been shown that until now in the lists of documents in the field of standardization, containing rules and methods of research (testing) and measurements, there are methods that do not meet the sensitivity requirements specified in the same technical regulations, as well as certain documents that have become invalid. Proposals on synchronization of rules and methods for researching the safety indicators of non-food products for timely provision of sanitary and epidemiological surveillance with objective data on valid up-to-date documents have been developed.

Pineapple peel still contains an important amount of phenolic compounds and vitamins with valuable antioxidant activity. In this way, the aim of this study was the recovery of the bioactive compounds from pineapple peel using environmentally friendly and low-cost techniques, envisaging their application in food products. From the solid-liquid extraction conditions tested, the one delivering an extract with higher total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity was a single extraction step with a solvent-pineapple peel ratio of 1:1 (w/w) for 25 min at ambient temperature, using ethanol-water (80–20%) as a solvent. The resulting extract revealed a total phenolic content value of 11.10 ± 0.01 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry extract, antioxidant activity of 91.79 ± 1.98 µmol Trolox/g dry extract by the DPPH method, and 174.50 ± 9.98 µmol Trolox/g dry extract by the FRAP method. The antioxidant rich extract was subjected to stabilization by the spray drying process at 150 °C of inlet air temperature using maltodextrin (5% w/w) as an encapsulating agent. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity of the encapsulated compounds was maintained after encapsulation. The loaded microparticles obtained, which consist of a bioactive powder, present a great potential to be incorporated in food products or to produce bioactive packaging systems.

Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., popularly known as mutamba, mutambo and mucungo, is widespread throughout Latin America. Studies on the physicochemical characteristics and the technological application of its constituents can support its use as raw material for enrichment and formulation of food products. This study aimed at to identify substances of food interest derived from mutamba fruit, through its physical, physicochemical, proximate, mineral, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity characterization in two maturation stages. The incomplete and full physiological maturation had, on average, mass of 5.52 and 3.54 g, respectively, and acid pH of 4.84 on average. Soluble solids content increased with maturity reaching 32.9 °Brix. Regarding proximate composition, it was observed an increase in protein, lipid, crude fiber and ash; and reduction of 80% in moisture. The most concentrated minerals were K, N, Ca, P and Mg. The content of anthocyanins, polyphenols, yellow flavonoids and the antioxidant activity increased with maturation, while vitamin C remained at 1500 mg.100 g-1. This study is innovative as mutamba fruits with incomplete physiological maturation were characterized for the first time. That mutamba fruits, no matter the physiological maturation, have potential of exploitation in the food industry, due to their high content of soluble solids, as well as in the enrichment of other food products as source of vitamin C and minerals.

Одним из путей повышения функциональной ценности пищевых продуктов является увеличение содержания в них химических соединений, обладающих антиоксидантной активностью. Последние, как известно, играют важную роль в профилактике различных заболеваний человека. Антиоксидантами богаты зерновые культуры, на основе которых изготавливаются наиболее употребляемые населением продукты питания. Целью данного исследования являлось определение величины суммарного содержания антиоксидантов (ССА) в зерновом сырье на разных этапах производства хакасского национального продукта талган, изготовленного из пророщенного зерна овса. Овес выращивали на территории Бейского района Республики Хакасия в 2019 г. Очищенное зерно проращивали при комнатной температуре в течение 56 ч, затем его просушивали и обжаривали при температуре 180…200 °С в течение 10-15 мин, а далее измельчали и просеивали через сита с ячеей 0,9 мм. В результате получали продукт талган и отходы в виде отрубей. Для определения уровня ССА в зерне использовали два растворителя - горячую бидистиллированную воду и 70 %-ный этиловый спирт. Измерение значения ССА выполняли на приборе «Цвет Яуза-01-АА». Среди исследуемых образцов более высокие показатели ССА были зарегистрированы при использовании в качестве элюента горячей бидистиллированной воды. В работе выявлен эффект увеличения уровня ССА в конечном продукте по сравнению с исходным сырьем после этапа проращивания зерна в среднем в 2 раза, а после этапов обжаривания и измельчения в 2,1 раза. Величина ССА в отрубях превышала таковую в исходном зерне в среднем на 47 %. Таким образом, в результате исследований было установлено, что введение в технологию изготовления овсяного талгана дополнительного этапа, заключающегося в проращивании зерна, является одним из эффективных способов повышения величины ССА в полученном на его основе продукте. One of the ways to increase the functional value of food products is to increase the content of chemical compounds that have antioxidant activity. The latter are known to play an important role in the prevention of various human diseases. Antioxidants are rich in cereals, on the basis of which the most commonly consumed food products are made. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the total content of antioxidants (TCA) in grain raw materials at different stages of production of the Khakass national product talgan, made from sprouted oat grain. Oats were grown on the territory of the Bey district of the Republic of Khakassia in 2019. The purified grain was sprouted at room temperature for 56 hours, then it was dried and fried at a temperature of 180…200 oC for 10-15 minutes, and then ground and sieved through sieves with a mesh of 0.9 mm. As a result, the product talgan and waste in the form of bran were obtained. To determine the level of TCA in the grain, two solvents were used - hot bidistilled water and 70 % ethyl alcohol. The TCA value was measured on the device «Color Yauza-01-AA». Among the studied samples, higher TCA values were recorded when using hot bidistilled water as an eluent. The paper reveals the effect of increasing the level of TCA in the final product in comparison with the initial raw material after the stage of grain germination by an average of 2 times, and after the stages of roasting and grinding by 2.1 times. The value of TCA in bran exceeded that in the original grain by an average of 47 %. Thus, as a result of research, it was found that the introduction of an additional stage in the production technology of oatmeal talgan, which consists in the germination of grain, is one of the effective ways to increase the value of TCA in the product obtained on its basis.

Natural extracts have been proposed as preservatives to increase the safety of various food products. In this work, the phytochemical and antioxidant profiles of rosemary, lemon balm, basil, tarragon, salvia, and spearmint extracts were studied. The results show that hydroethanolic extracts may be more effective as biopreservatives if moderate temperatures are used in the extraction process, as they revealed higher phenolic content. More specifically, the results also show that lemon balm extracts present a great potential to be used as biopreservatives, due to their high-level phenolic and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity.
