The article describes a more environmentally friendly method to produce pectin compared to the classical acid scheme, which requires the use of strong mineral acids and toxic solvents. This method of obtaining pectin, like other analogs of the classical method, causes a decrease in the yield of the final product. This study aims to find ways of eliminating these barriers and increase the yield of pectin. The paper investigates the possibility to increase the yield of pectin obtained by acid hydrolysis applying citric acid through the use of preliminary microwave exposure to citrus raw materials. The work compares pectin quality indicators, such as the degree of esterification, molecular weight and gelation, for raw materials dried by the convective method and the combined method consisting of microwave pretreatment and blowing dry air. Curves of comparable pre-drying methods are presented. The rate of pectin yield at the stages of hydrolysis depending on the drying methods is analyzed. Optimal power modes for preliminary microwave drying of citrus raw materials are selected. The data obtained are valuable for both development and improvement of industrial technology of pectin production using environmental methods of extraction without the use of strong mineral acids to increase the yield and quality of pectin.

Ecosystem degradation forces us to introduce highly productive, environmentally friendly biotechnologies in agricultural production. In this regard, interest in organic farming is growing. Demand for organic products is ahead of supply. This, in its turn, causes interest in substances that, on the one hand, are safe for the environment, and on the other hand, increase yield and quality of crops. These substances include biostimulants. They stimulate the natural processes of assimilation of nutrients, increase stress resistance of plants. In this regard, keratin-containing raw materials deserve special attention, which, in terms of chemical composition, is a protein concentrate (90-95%) . But its use is limited due to the low functionality of the keratin protein of this raw material. Enzymatic keratin hydrolysis will provide a biostimulant for plants with a high content of amino acids. The aim of the study was to develop an enzymatic method for keratin hydrolysis with a high content of amino acids in the final product. Fermentation was carried out by Str. chromogeness.g. 0832 proteinase. The content of soluble protein, peptides and amino acids was carried out photocolorimetrically. Temperature (4000C) and pH (8.0) conditions of Str. chromogeness.g. 0832 enzyme complex have been determined, which allowed further hydrolysis of keratin-containing raw materials with a maximum yield of final products - amino acids (99.57 g/100g). Treatment of corn seeds with the obtained amino acid solution enabled to increase growth-promoting activity by 48%.

The article reviews various techniques for mathematical modeling of the soybean drying process. The purpose of this paper is to review, analyze and compare existing approaches to mathematically describe the processes of moisture movement during microwave drying of soybeans. The only way to provide mathematical modeling of the processes occurring in the soybean grain is a combination of the transformation of microwave energy into heat, the heating of dipole water molecules existing in the seed, the processes of moving moisture from the center to the grain shell and evaporation of moisture. Today, microwave drying is one of the promising areas for research, because this method is much more efficient than traditional post-harvest grain drying methods and, at the same time, poorly understood. Factors on which the process of microwave drying depends on are the speed of movement of moisture in the micropores of the product, the initial temperature and humidity of the raw material, the placement of the main magnetron relative to the object of drying and the speed of movement of raw materials in the drying chamber. The object of the study in this article was to simplify the mathematical model of soybean seeds. To intensify the process of microwave drying, it is advisable to use a combined effect, such as blowing, which increases the intensity and quality of the process of microwave dehumidification. In addition, in this case, the simultaneous use of two or more factors of influence, which allows for rapid processing of raw materials. This determines the relevance and prospects of this study. The developed criteria criterion is substantiated and described, which allows to simplify the complex calculation of microwave energy transfer processes, sample heating and moisture velocity in it. The basic approaches to the construction of a mathematical model of the soybean drying process are considered, and their expediency is determined. The analysis of various methods of mathematical description of the drying process is carried out, the main disadvantages of these methods are identified. It is established that drying soybean seeds in the microwave field is one of the most promising. A mathematical model for a combined soybean drying process with a combination of microwave drying methods and air blowing is proposed.

  The article is devoted to the study of the chemical composition, physical and thermal-pfysical characteristics of damp apple pomaces and the identifying patterns of influence of drying temperature the functional composition and gel-forming ability of pectin. The research is aimed at obtaining initial data for the subsequent calculation of the main technological, hydro-mechanical, thermal, structural and economic characteristics of devices for drying the plant raw materials, ensuring the environmental safety and high quality of pectin-containing raw materials, the reducing heat and energy costs. As a result of the study of the thermal characteristics of apple pomaces, the critical points (temperature conductivity – 16.5 x 10-8 m2/s, thermal conductivity – 0.28 W/m K, heat capacity – 1627 j/(kg K)) at a humidity of 56 % are determined, which characterizing the transition from the extraction of weakly bound moisture to the extraction of moisture with strong bonds (colloidal, adsorption). It was found that the pomaces obtained from apples of late ripening have a higher content of solids (21-23 %), soluble pectin and protopectin (2.5-4.5 %). Dried pomaces obtained from apple varieties of late ripening contain up to 25 % pectin, which allow us to recommend them as a source of raw materials for the production of pectin. The optimum modes of preliminary washing of raw materials are offered, allowing to the remove the ballast substances as much as possible. It is established that when the drying temperature increases, the destructive processes are catalyzed: the strength of the pectin jelly and the uronide component and the degree of pectin esterification are reduced. The optimum drying temperature of damp apple pomaces is 80 0C, at which the quality of pectin extracted from the dried raw materials is maintained as much as possible. It is shown that the most effective for the pectin production is a fraction with a particle size of 3-5 mm, which allow us to extract up to 71 % of pectin from raw materials.

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.
