The research was conducted in 2021 on the basis of the laboratory of the Department of Technolo-gy of Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products of the I. A. Bunin Yelets State University. The aim of the research was to find out the comparative effect of adding some fruits and berries on the vitamin value of kefir. As the main raw material for the experiment, drinking pasteurized milk was used according to the state standard 31450-2013. Cranberry berries were used frozen from the retail chain, the rest were collected in the Yelets district and frozen before the start of the experiment. Of all the berries used, only cranberries and mountain ash did not worsen the organo-leptic parameters of kefir. Judging by the acidity of kefir, the shelf life of the control sample and with cranberries was the longest – 14 days. On the 12th day, the options with mountain ash and black currant went beyond the standard for acidity. The shelf life of kefir with sea buckthorn fruits was only 9 days. The addition of fruits and berries to kefir increased the content of biologically active substances in it: rowan-dry substances, carotenoids and flavonols, and black currant-coloring substances and anthocyanins. Taking into account the organoleptic indicators, the shelf life for acidity and the content of useful substances in kefir, it is necessary to single out the option with the addition of rowan fruits as the most successful.

Abstract At present, the preservation of the consumer properties of berry products is an urgent problem. Use of fresh garden strawberries is limited by a short storage period and seasonality. Under optimal storage conditions in a normal atmosphere, the average shelf life of strawberries is from 2 to 9 days depending on the variety. To meet the needs of the population in garden strawberries and meet the physiological needs in a unique complex of biologically active substances, strawberries are subjected to different processing methods. Drying being a type of fruit and berry products processing has the following advantages: a significant increase in the shelf life of products, a decrease in the mass and storage volumes of dried berries, preservation of minerals, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, antioxidants, bioflavonoids and many biologically active compounds in berries. Modern drying technologies allow preserving the content of essential vitamins to its full extent. Comparison of two technologies for drying garden strawberries has established that vitamins and other biologically active substances are well preserved in berries. Berries dried by convective vacuum-impulse method (CVI) are recommended to be used for food enrichment.

The article presents the results of author scientific research dealing with the use of saponins, biologically active substances in food and cosmetics technology. The problems of their formation in plants, the chemical nature and the features are considered, biological and physico-chemical properties of saponins are studied. By their nature, saponins are divided into steroid and triterpene, differing by glycoside part of a molecule, thus, with different biological and chemical properties, but they are all capable to develop foam in aqueous solutions, and this feature is the origin of their name. The name originated from the word «Sapo», which means soap. It should be noted that at present saponins are not studied fully as other biologically active substances (BAS), although they are of interest and relevance. In the course of scientific work, about 20 species of saponin-containing plant material, both steroid and triterpene ones, were selected and analyzed for the determination of saponins. The selection of raw materials with the highest content was performed for their further use in cosmetics and as the surfactants in the production of emulsion food products. The following research methods were used in the work: qualitative reactions to the presence of saponins, foaming, saponin extraction, the release from dry aqueous extract of both steroid and triterpin ones. The method and the scheme of their release and precipitation are presented in the article.The work was carried out within the framework of the state assignment of FSBEI HE «Moscow State University of Food Production» No. 14.7404.2017/бч «Scientific and applied bases of application of traditional and nonconventional vegetable raw materials and secondary products of its processing (fruit and berry, grain, bean, oil, essential oil, herbs) in technology of specialized products of the food industry, cosmetology and pharmacy»

The purpose of these studies was to determine how much it is possible to extend the shelf life of cottage cheese and increase its vitamin value due to berries and fruits of some fruit and berry plants. The research was carried out in 2021 on the basis of the laboratory of the Department of Technology of Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products of the I. A. Bunin Yelets State University. Kefir with a fat content of 3.2% was used as the main raw material. The fruits and ber-ries were thoroughly washed and crushed into a pulp, then added to kefir and mixed evenly. Kefir was heated in a water bath and protein coagulation occurred at a temperature of 55 ° C. The result-ing mass was filtered through a non-woven fabric "Agrotek", applying the same load. Glass jars with a volume of 0.25 liters with tin lids with threads were sterilized by steam in a water bath at t=100 oC for several minutes. The jars were filled with ready-squeezed cottage cheese. The addi-tion of crushed fruits and berries to cottage cheese changes some of its organoleptic characteris-tics: orange pulp - consistency, sea buckthorn-smell and taste, aronia - color. The introduction of fruits and berries into the recipe of cottage cheese preserves the moisture and fat content within the standard. The dynamics of the acidity of cottage cheese is greatly disturbed only by the fruits of sea buckthorn. The addition of sea buckthorn fruits to it contributes to an increase in the humid-ity and acidity of cottage cheese in a greater degree. The shelf life of cottage cheese with the addi-tion of sea buckthorn fruits at a temperature of 4 oC was 8 days, the other options - 12 days. When stored in room conditions (t=20 oC), the control cottage cheese and with aronia spoiled after 5 days. Adding fruits to it slowed down the appearance of mold: cranberry - for 1 day, mountain ash - for 2 days, orange-for 3 days. The most organic acids are added to the cottage cheese by sea buckthorn fruits and cranberry berries, flavonols - the fruits of common mountain ash, coloring substances and anthocyanins - aronia, ascorbic acid and carotenoids, including β-carotene - aronia and mountain ash.

As know, all wood material is recycled only half, and the rest of it remains unused. In practice, wood waste is most often plowed or burned, at a time when such wood is a valuable natural raw material that can compensate for the needs of a number of sectors of the economy. In this regard, the problem of recycling waste from the woodworking industry is very relevant today. Wood waste contains a large amount of substances capable of exhibiting biological activity. In particular, such biologically active substances include betulin, which is found in birch bark, which, due to its many advantages, has found wide application in medical, perfumery, cosmetic, food and other industries. For the rational use of wood and wood materials, it is necessary to develop new technologies and equipment for processing wood into products that are in demand for mankind. The paper provides an overview of the processing of birch bark. The relevance and prospects of birch species as a raw material for the chemical industry have been established.

The use of infusions and extracts from domestic plant materials is a promising direction in the development of functional beverages since they contain a wide range of substances of various pharmacological properties. Drinks fortified with physiologically active natural components maintain a certain level of this content in human body. They can have a healing or prophylactic effect. However, there is a lack of technologies for the effective production of biologically active substances from plant materials. Moreover, the development of cultivated botanical medicinal plant species remains quite poor. The present study features the qualitative and quantitative composition of biologically active substances of medicinal plants that are endemics of Siberia. They are Rhodiola rosea (Rhodiola rosea L.) and maral root (Rhaponticum carthamoides). The paper introduces a method for increasing their biosynthetic activity. An experiment helped to select a composition of the nutrient medium for the cultivation of callus cultures of Rhodiola rosea (Rhodiola rosea L.) and maral root (Rhaponticum carthamoides) in vitro, which contributed to an increase in the biosynthesis of biologically active substances. For callus cultures of Rhodiola Rosea (line R.r-1k) the following composition was used: mineral base – MS; sucrose – 30 g; inositol – 100 mg; thiamine – 1.0 mg; pyridoxine – 1.0 mg; Ca-panthetonate – 10 mg; kinetin – 0.05 g; naphthyl acetic acid – 0.1 g; 2.4-D – 0.5. For callus cultures of maral root (line R.c -2k): mineral base – SH; sucrose – 30 g; inositol – 100 mg; thiamine – 5.0 mg; pyridoxine – 0.5 mg; nicotinic acid – 5.0 mg; kinetin – 0.1 g; indoleacetic acid – 1.0 g. The authors developed a technology for the production of functional whey-based tonic drink fortified with extract of carotenoids isolated from the fruits of mountain ash and the extract of biologically active substances Rhodiola rosea and maral root. The presence of biologically active substances in the plant and medicinal raw materials gives the drink antioxidant and bactericidal properties, as well as helps to raise the overall state of the organizm and strengthen the immune system.
