Nowadays, the interest in antioxidants, mainly present in fruits and vegetables, has prompted research in the field of commercial beverages. Taking into account new requirements to improve the quality of feeding behaviour by getting juices without added sugar, the consumer health benefits and high organoleptics properties, it was decided to study the correlation quality of raw pomegranates with other vegetables such as celery, carrot and sharon fruit in order to obtain pomegranate juice with vegetable additions. The vegetable raw materials were chosen in order to improve the quality and organoleptic properties of the pomegranate juice with vegetable additions by optimizing the “in-house” method, to obtaining a stable formulation. The main objectives of the study were characterization of raw and addition materials, studied by psycho-chemical analysis, evaluating of the antioxidant capacity of 4 types of pomegranate juice with additions in different proportions,  establish the best type of mixture juice. Consumer preference was established in sensory analysis  based on hedonic test with 9 point scale, the type of juice with additions with the following concentrations: pomegranate 50%, Sharon 10%, celery 30%, carrot 10%. Positive correlations were performed between antioxidant capacity and type of juice preferred by consumers.

Marinating is one of the most common ways of processing vegetable raw materials. The use of new, non-traditional types of raw materials, in particular root chicory, should be considered as one of the directions for expanding the assortment of marinated products, increasing its consumer properties. Researches in this direction were conducted in 2018 on the basis of the Department of Technology for storing and processing fruits and vegetables of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the Russian State Agrarian University-Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev. The object of research was the root chicory varieties Yaroslavsky. The scheme of experience included biochemical studies of raw materials, laboratory production of weakly acidic and acidic pickles using in the formulation of acetic essence, wine and apple vinegar, organoleptic and biochemical studies of the finished product. Studies have shown that the production of pickled products from chicory allows you to get products with high organoleptic characteristics. Improving the quality of pickled products is promoted by replacing the vinegar essence with apple or wine vinegar in the recipe - the taste becomes less sharp, the aroma is enriched with fruit tones. Neutral taste of chicory with a slightly bitter aftertaste is optimally combined with the high content of acetic acid (up to 0.9%), characteristic of sour pickles. Sour marinade using tartaric acid in the recipe according to the results of tasting received the highest score - 9.8 points on a 10-point scale.

Sherry wine vinegar is a Spanish gourmet product under Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Before a vinegar can be labeled as Sherry vinegar, the product must meet certain requirements as established by its PDO, which, in this case, means that it has been produced following the traditional solera and criadera ageing system. The quality of the vinegar is determined by many factors such as the raw material, the acetification process or the aging system. For this reason, mainly producers, but also consumers, would benefit from the employment of effective analytical tools that allow precisely determining the origin and quality of vinegar. In the present study, a total of 48 Sherry vinegar samples manufactured from three different starting wines (Palomino Fino, Moscatel, and Pedro Ximénez wine) were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data were combined with unsupervised exploratory techniques such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA), as well as other nonparametric supervised techniques, namely, support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), for the characterization of the samples. The HCA and PCA results present a clear grouping trend of the vinegar samples according to their raw materials. SVM in combination with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) successfully classified 100% of the samples, according to the type of wine used for their production. The RF method allowed selecting the most important variables to develop the characteristic fingerprint (“spectralprint”) of the vinegar samples according to their starting wine. Furthermore, the RF model reached 100% accuracy for both LOOCV and out-of-bag (OOB) sets.

This study evaluates nutrients and health-promoting compounds responsible for antioxidant capacity in eight novel formulations based on lyophilized fruit and vegetable powders. The composition contained lyophilized carrot, pumpkin, lentil sprouts, raspberry, strawberry, and apple. The effect of functional additives on the antioxidant, nutritional, and functional characteristics of powdered beverages was determined in the powders and after rehydration followed by in vitro digestion. The antioxidant activity, phenols, vitamin C, and reducing power were significantly higher in the powders enriched with additives having potential functional properties. Furthermore, the analyses indicated that all the powdered formulations may be potential sources of total starch (100–112 mg/100 mL) and proteins (125–139 mg/100 mL). The designed powdered beverages after reconstitution exhibited high antioxidant content, reasonable consumer acceptance, and good in vitro bioaccessibility. The best results of antioxidant capacity were obtained for beverages enriched with raspberry, i.e., 10.4 mg Trolox equivalent (TE)/100 mL and 12.1 mg TE/100 mL rehydrated at 20 °C and 80 °C, respectively. Additionally, color characteristics were used as indicators of the quality of the powdered beverages. This research promotes the reduction of food waste, since whole plant tissues are used, thus allowing maximum exploitation of food raw materials; moreover, drying provides stable shelf life.

Rice is one of the most abundant food crops in the world and its straw stands as an important source of fibres both from an economic and an environmental point of view. Pulp characterization is of special relevance in works involving alternative raw materials, since pulp properties are closely linked to the quality of the final product. One of the analytical techniques that can be used in pulp characterization is near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The use of NIRS has economic and technical advantages over conventional techniques. This paper aims to discuss the convenience of using NIRS to predict Kappa number in rice straw pulps produced under different conditions. We found that the resulting Kappa number can be acceptably estimated by NIRS, as the errors obtained with that method are similar to those found for other techniques.

Enzymatic browning affects the sensory and nutritional quality of fresh-cut apples and limits their shelf-life. Yerba mate ( Ilex paraguariensis), a plant widely consumed in South America as an infusion, could potentially be used in minimally processed fruits and vegetables as a natural additive to prevent browning, due to its high content of phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity. The effects of the concentrations of ascorbic acid, citric acid, and yerba mate in an aqueous dipping solution on the instrumental color parameters, antioxidant capacity, and sensory quality of “Granny Smith” fresh-cut apples were modeled and the solution was optimized to obtain treated apples with maximum antioxidant capacity and minimum browning, without affecting the natural flavor of the fruits. The optimal composition obtained (1.2% yerba mate  + 0.9% citric acid + 1.0% ascorbic acid) increased the antioxidant capacity of the apples by 36%. The sensory acceptability test carried out on the “Granny Smith” fresh-cut apples treated with the optimal dipping solution showed that more than 78% of the surveyed consumers liked the color, flavor, and texture of the apples.

The widespread introduction of non-traditional and local types of raw materials and the development of new types of products on their basis should be combined with the scientific substantiation of the composition and technology, which ensures the production of high-quality products, strengthening the control of biological and nutritional value, and the safety of new types of confectionery. One of the most important tasks faced by the confectionery industry is the development of new products in order to improve the structure of the range, save on scarce raw materials, reduce sugar content; creation of dietetic products, with a long shelf life. The use of raw materials of local and non-traditional species can contribute to solving this problem. The main source of vitamins, easily digestible carbohydrates, enzymes, fiber, pectin and minerals is fresh fruits and vegetables. Flour confectionery products, due to the high content of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, are high-calorie, well-digestible products with a pleasant taste and attractive appearance. Out of all the flour semi-finished products, the sponge cake is the bloated and softer. A well-baked cake is handy for processing; it has a smooth, thin crust; porous, elastic structure of the pulp – during compression is easily compressed, after removal of effort restores the old form. In the production of many foods, supplements that regulate the consistency and form the texture of food products are used. The structure of the sponge cake product is formed, mainly, at the stage of paste formation. The sponge cake is a poorly structured system with saturated air. The quality of the semi-finished product, above all, will depend on the quality of the resulting dough, which is substantially affected by the raw material. We have developed a recipe for a sponge dough, semi-finished product containing a pumpkin powder containing a significant amount of pectins, fiber, etc. In the structure of a sponge semi-finished product with pumpkin powder, thanks to the contents of polycarcids, which are merged with proteins bridges are formed. Osmotic swelling occurs as a result of the diffusion of water molecules inside the protein molecule, causing swelling of proteins. Microscopy of the structure of the biscuit semi-finished product was investigated in Slovakia (SPU).

In this article, the rheological and vitamin composition of the dough prepared by adding nettle flour and corn flour as non-traditional raw materials to the composition of pasta under laboratory conditions is studied. The results of previous studies of dioecious nettle have shown that the plant contains a certain amount of carotene, calcium, formic acid and panthenonic acid. These indicators indicate an improvement in the vitamin composition of pasta prepared according to the new recipe. The rheological quality of the dough, the vitamin composition of the finished product prepared according to the first sample, including 20% corn flour and 2% nettle flour (Urtica dioca L) in the recipe, show that the quality of this sample is better than that of the control and second sample, and is approved as an effective sample for the preparation of new types of pasta.

The most rational and promising way to solve the problem of healthy nutrition, according to most scientists and specialists, is to combine raw materials of meat and vegetable origin. To obtain functional products, an important factor is not only the enrichment of food products with vegetable raw materials, but also the stabilization of the quality of meat systems. The use of vegetable components in addition to raw meat makes it possible to obtain combined products that are diverse in composition, which significantly expands the range of high-quality products and creates the possibility of designing products of a given composition. Also, it was found that the content of only meat or vegetable protein in food has less biological value than their mixture. The combination of vegetable and meat protein is well achieved in paste products. The article highlights the development of technology for the production of functional foods using meat and vegetable raw materials. The study objective was the development of combined food products for medical, prophylactic and functional purposes. An improved recipe for meat paste with the addition of vegetable ingredients is proposed. According to the developed technology, experimental development of several samples of cooked sausage “Appetitnaya” was carried out on the basis of a balanced ratio of the main food components, providing increased digestibility and digestibility. Production tests of product development were conducted. Quality assessment by organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological indicators of the finished product was carried out according to generally accepted methods.
