The aim of the paper is to evaluate the quality of water of the Mantovo Reservoir (Southeast Macedonia)based on physico-chemical parameters and the macrozoobenthos. Monthly sampling was performed during 2003 and 2004. Temperature and DO depth profile data indicate that the Mantovo Reservoir is a dimictic lake. Based on mean nutrient concentrations, the Mantovo Reservoir can be considered as being phosphorus-deficient. During the summer stratification, very high concentrations of Mn (2,819 ?g/l)and Cu (147.6?g/l)were detected in the lower profundal. Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri was the dominant species, which indicates the presence of organic pollution. Dominance of Chaoborus crystallinus and decline in abundance of L. hoffmeisteri in the lower profundal indicate a deterioration of environmental status in the deepest part of the lake.

Определены физико-химические показатели 12 образцов сухих и полусладких белых и красных столовых вин, выработанных одним предприятием и разлитых в стеклобутылку (СБ), бутылку из полиэтилентерефталата и упаковку «пакет в коробке» (ПВК) в феврале 2018 г. холодным и горячим способами, с целью установления влияния упаковки на изменение органолептического состава и физико-химических показателей столовых вин. Физико-химический анализ и дегустация представленных образцов столовых вин проведены в марте 2018 г. с использованием общепринятых методик. Установлено, что через месяц после розлива в упаковку все опытные образцы соответствовали требованиям действующей нормативной документации на данный вид продукции и обладали оптимальными физико-химическими показателями, кроме образца полусладкого красного вина в СБ, который на момент анализа был подвержен микробиологическому воздействию. Во всех исследованных образцах столовых вин обнаружен 1,2-пропиленгликоль, но его содержание не превышало допустимых норм. По итогам дегустации для сухих столовых вин рекомендован розлив в СБ, поскольку холодный розлив, применяемый при этом виде упаковки, практически не влияет на изменение органолептических характеристик продукта. Для полусладких вин рекомендуется горячий розлив, поскольку он препятствует забраживанию и задушке вина, а розлив в упаковку ПВК позволяет сохранять качество вина. Physico-chemical parameters of 12 samples of dry and semi-sweet white and red table wines produced by one enterprise and poured into a glass bottle (GB), a bottle of polyethylene terephthalate and a bag-in-box in February 2018 by cold and hot methods were determined in order to establish the influence of packaging on the change in the organoleptic composition and physico-chemical characteristics of table wines. Physical and chemical analysis and tasting of the presented samples of table wines were carried out in March 2018 using generally accepted methods. It was found that a month after filling in the package, all prototypes met the requirements of the current regulatory documentation for this type of product and had optimal physico-chemical parameters, except for the sample of semi-sweet red wine in the GB, which at the time of analysis was exposed to microbiological effects. In all the studied samples of table wines 1,2-propylene glycol was found, but its content did not exceed the permissible norms. Following the results of the tasting, bottling in the GB is recommended for dry table wines, since the cold bottling used in this type of packaging practically does not affect the change in the organoleptic characteristics of the product. For sweet wines it is recommended that hot-filling because it prevents fermenting and suffocating wine and bottling in bag-in-box allows to preserve the quality of the wine.

The results of the influence of a dry powder obtained from Antonovka apples growing in the Kursk region on the consumer properties of crispbreads in which whole wheat and rye flour were partially replaced with apple powder in the amount of 10, 15 and 20% are presented. The optimal content of dried apple powder in baked samples of crispbread was determined during the experiment by the results of a study of organoleptic and physico-chemical quality indicators of samples. To assess the quality of the developed samples of crispbreads, an expert method was used to determine the weighting factors of product quality indicators. In the course of the calculations for experts, the most significant indicator was taste; the second by weight - appearance; the third is smell; fourth is form; fifth – color; the sixth is a view in kink. During the study of organoleptic indicators using a point scale, the largest amount of points (28.8 points) was gained by a sample of bread with the addition of 20% apple powder (it replaced 10% whole wheat and rye flour, respectively). This sample had an appearance interspersed with flavors and the presence of minor bubbles; pleasant taste and smell characteristic of apples; uniform color; rectangular shape; layered, with uniform porosity, without swelling, hardening, traces of an unbreakable appearance in a kink. The study of physical and chemical parameters made it possible to establish that with an increase in the amount of the additive (Antonovka apple powder), the mass fraction of moisture and acidity increase due to dietary fiber and acids that make up the apple powder.

Abstract Water is a social requirement and an important factor in the ecological balance. Water from wells is good for direct consumption if the soil is not contaminated. The quality of drinking water is regulated by Law no. 458/2002 (transposing the Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of drinking water). The aim of this paper was to assess the physicochemical qualities of groundwaters from Brestea village, commune Denta, Timis County. The water samples were taken in 2015 from 10 functional wells. For the source whose physical and chemical parameters have exceeded the limit values, the monthly monitoring of the water quality (microbiological and physico-chemical properties) has been performed for 2 years. At the same time, the pH of the soil near the water sources was also measured. The results highlighted a good connection between the microorganisms from water and the nitrite, nitrate and ammonium content of water. The information can be further used to identify and eliminate the specific pollutants, areas and pollution sources.

Growth and survival of Clarias gariepinus in different water qualities were investigated. Initially, water of equal quality was used for the experiment, later the quality of water varies due to period of water change, (daily-T4, weekly-T3, bi-weekly-T2 and monthly-T1). Physico-chemical parameters were analyzed. Two hundred and forty (240) seven weeks old fingerlings of C. gariepinus were randomly distributed into 12 plastic tanks. Poor growth of C. gariepinus was observed in the treatment tanks (T1, T2 and T3), compared with growth of fish in the control (T4) which was progressive as indicated by the higher value of condition factor. Treatment tanks had significantly (P < 0.05) higher EC, TDS, Turbidity, Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite and significantly (P < 0.05) lower DO than culture water in control container. Slight growth was recorded for fish in T1 and T2 until the second week when drop in fish weight was observed. This study has shown that poor water quality can reduce growth rate and survival of C. gariepinus.

The quality of water from surface and ground water sources in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State was studied to determine their suitability or otherwise for drinking and domestic purposes. Nine (9) samples, three (3) each from streams, dug wells and boreholes were randomly collected, during the dry season, in the months of October and November, 2016. The samples were analysed, and the values compared with WHO and NAFDAC standards to ascertain their compliance. The results of the analysis revealed that the physico-chemical parameters studied and concentrations of heavy metals determined, falls within the maximum permissible limits of WHO and NAFDAC standards for drinking water. However, the water samples were predominantly alkaline (pH 6.30 ± 0.10 to 7.00 ± 0.10), (6.70 ± 0.20 to 7.30 ± 0.20), and (7.60 ±0.20 to 8.20 ± 0.10), for boreholes, dug wells and streams respectively. The heavy metals concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric method. The suitability of water for domestic and drinking purposes indicates that water samples were within the standards prescribed for potable waters.
