The article is devoted to the possibilities of application of artificial neural networks (ANN), which are a mathematical model, as well as its software or hardware implementation, built on the principle of organization and functioning of nerve cell networks of a living organism. Convolutional neural networks are arranged like the visual cortex of the brain and have achieved great success in image recognition, they are able to concentrate on a small area and highlight important features in it. The widespread use of ANN in medicine for the evaluation of radiographs, blood pressure and body mass index of patients on the analysis of their retina is noted. The use of ANN in the food industry for input quality control of raw materials is promising. In the world practice, various methods of remote control of raw materials are used, for this purpose ultrasonic scanning devices are mainly used. Such devices and analysis systems control raw materials by the ratio of meat tissues (muscle, connective, fat) in the carcass or half-carcass, without affecting the tissue structure, do not lead the quality at the cellular (microstructural) level. It is established that the structure of muscle (diameter of muscle fibers, the safety of the cellular elements, the porosity of the tissue, integrity of muscle fibers) reflects the quality of the raw material, its thermal state. Our work has begun on the creation of an expert system for quality control of meat raw materials at the microstructural level using modern intelligent technologies as ANN and computer vision. This direction is relevant and socially significant in the development of the meat industry, as it will significantly speed up the process of analysis of the quality of raw meat in the research laboratories of meat processing enterprises and testing centers and improve the objectivity of the results.

The article is devoted to the development of technology for obtaining an innovative meat product from mutton. One of the main tasks of the agro-industrial complex is the development of technologies for the production of meat products for general and special purposes. In this context, it should be noted that the creation of meat products intended for the treatment and prevention of diseases is a priority area in the food industry of social and economic importance. To date, certain results have already been achieved in this direction. However, the cluster of functional meat products in the Russian Federation is poorly developed. In terms of organoleptic properties, lamb has features that must be taken into account when developing new products on an industrial basis. Features of taste and smell of meat, its technological properties limit the use of this type of raw material in the production of meat products. The effect of the composition of the injection brine, the formulation of which included infusion of juniper berries, food phosphate "Biofos-90" and curing ingredients, on the quality of the finished product was studied. It was found that the use of a multicomponent injection brine in combination with mechanical processing of mutton promotes the formation of an elasticviscous-plastic structure of the meat system by increasing the functional properties of muscle proteins. The development and improvement of existing technologies for the production of meat products, the rational use of food raw materials predetermine the modern system of creating a sustainable food base for the country. The integrated use of mutton as one of the main raw materials of the meat industry in some regions of our country is also aimed at solving these problems.

Sausages – one of the types of meat sausages popular with buyers. One of the main indicators of the effectiveness of the meat industry is the expansion of product names, as well as the reduction in the cost of sausages to make them as accessible as possible for all segments of the population. Cost reduction can be achieved through the use of non-meat food additives. The object of the study was sausages «Amateur» and «Lunch». The composition of sausages «Dinner» included hard cheese. The main raw material for sausages is fat veined pork. The composition of the studied sausages has some differences both in basic raw materials and in spices. Lunch sausages had a higher nutritional value due to the use of hard cheese. Lunch sausages were also highly appreciated during the tasting. Sausages of both varieties met the requirements of GOST 52196–2011 standard cooked sausages.

  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.
