This scientific work demonstrates the stages of the process of inspiring the spicy aromatic raw materials of Badian, which is added to the craft beer in the process of its digestion. In addition, the work shows an analysis of the composition of spicy aromatic raw materials which will be used as an additive. The research proves the rational quantity and concentration of alcoholic spiro-aromatic raw materials for beer and determines the effect of alcoholic spiro-aromatic raw materials on beer indices. We have clarified the organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of beer with spicy aromatic raw materials Badian and composition based on infusions of Badian and cinnamon. As a result, we received water-alcohol infusions of spicy aromatic raw materials and developed new types of beer on their basis. On the basis of the conducted studies, the regression equation of the dependence of the content of actual dry substances and the volumetric fraction of alcohol from the change in the amount of spray-aromatic raw material and alcohol concentration in the alcohol-alcoholic infusion of spin-aromatic raw materials was obtained. In addition, we conducted calculations on the cost-effectiveness of adding these types of spiced aromatic raw materials to beer.

The electrification of rural areas of the planet has become one of the greatest challenges for sustainability. In fact, it would be the key to guaranteeing development for the poorest of the planet, but from which most of the raw material for the food market derives. The paradigm of centralized production is not applicable in these territories, because the distribution network would involve unjustifiable costs. For this reason, studies have multiplied to ensure the energy supply, especially electricity, of off-grid utilities, to guarantee energy autonomy while reducing the dependence on specialist assistance for the management of the system. In this work, a hybrid system (HRES) is proposed that combines the exploitation of solar energy with that of the wind through the use of static devices, in order to improve the system's availability and limit the cost of operation and maintenance.

The preparation of soft drinks is an actively developing branch of the food industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To meet the interests of all producers, the enterprises annually produce a large number of non-alcoholic products. To maintain a healthy competition of the enterprise for preparation of soft drinks, create and apply the technology not previously known and expand the assortment of products annually. One of the most popular segments of this market is kvass. This is mainly due to the fact that all over the world there is an increasing demand for products made from natural raw materials, prepared without the addition of any synthetic additives and ingredients. In recent years, there has been an active increase in the consumption of kvass and its replacement with a large share of the market of carbonated soft drinks. The domestic kvass market is very rich and diverse, but there is a problem with the lack of functional drinks for certain groups of citizens. Creating a wide range of functional food products, including beverages, is becoming feasible. At the same time, in the production of kvass, it is important to use non-traditional raw materials, including buckwheat, the introduction of which in the kvass technology allows you to significantly expand the product range. A distinctive feature of buckwheat, which determines the prospects for use in the production of kvass, is its chemical composition. It is rich in vitamins and is considered an important source of antioxidants due to its high concentration of flavonoids. Buckwheat contains rutin, quercetin, folic acid, quercitrin, hyperoside. Thus, the replacement of barley malt with buckwheat contributes to an increase in the proportion of natural flavonoids in the drink, and therefore in the human diet. In this article, studies have been conducted to study the effect of the dose of buckwheat, buckwheat flakes, buckwheat malt and methods of their pretreatment on the effectiveness of the mashing process, when using it as an unsalted material. Buckwheat grains, buckwheat flakes and buckwheat malt were used in the work. Studies of mashing modes and indicators that determine their effectiveness have shown that the use of buckwheat malt in the backfill is more optimal than buckwheat grain. Studies have shown that the most economical and promising when using extruded buckwheat flakes as an unsalted material is the use of a single-boil mashing mode. However, the use of such raw materials is possible in concentrations not exceeding 30% of the backfill. If you need to increase the proportion of buckwheat in the backfill, you should use buckwheat malt. In this case, it is necessary to apply a mashing mode with intermittent heating, which is likely to compensate for the cost of producing malt from buckwheat grain.

The issue of the efficiency of food processing enterprises is ever-present because of the continuous process of improving the quality standards of raw materials, complying with the procedures in food production, introducing modern production technology, and, above all, due to the large number of actors who are competing for customers in the domestic and foreign food market. In the coming years, the Polish food processing sector will be facing significant challenges with the inevitable slow and gradual decrease in the cost advantages of raw material prices as well as ready-to-eat products. Manufacturing businesses, in the long run, will need to determine the efficiency, and hence the competitiveness of the Polish food processing sector. The aim of this paper was to review the domestic and foreign literature in terms of the classification and systematization of the concept of eco-efficiency and to find the most optimal set of eco-efficiency measures based on the research in chosen food processing enterprises in Poland. In the theoretical part of the study, methods of descriptive, comparative, deductive, and synthetic analysis were used. In the practical part of the study, appropriately selected qualitative methods, such as a questionnaire, were presented. The results of the analysis were based on the results of the authors’ own calculations, as well specific findings from business practice, both from inland and abroad.

Abstract There should be no need for processability testing. If one controls adequately all the raw materials and all the processes prior to the tests, then the resultant materials will all have predictable processability. In the real world, one can try, but never achieve, this state of perfection, so that some processability testing may be essential for process control purposes. The progression from (a) dumping a mixed batch at constant cycle time to (b) dumping at a fixed temperature to (c) dumping at a fixed unit work shows a progressive attempt to produce a more consistent material in spite of the imperfections of the raw material and the process. No one processability tester is adequate for all purposes. The choice of processability testers for process control depends upon the polymer and the subsequent process to which the material or mix is to be subjected. Factors which can be significant are times, shear rates, temperatures, and whether the test modifies the relevant properties. Most of the published information relating to process control relates to controlled experiments rather than to processing under normal factory conditions. However, it is probable that much information on factory experience remains unpublished in order to avoid disclosure of commercially valuable information or, on the other hand, to avoid admission of mixing failures. The cost of purchasing and running the processability testing equipment has to be balanced against the costs of not recognizing a bad batch and the cost of delaying further processing while the tests are made. For these reasons no general recommendation can be made except that a single piece of data is insufficient to characterize either a polymer or a mix. Any factory will probably need several types of processability testing if it wants more than a very cursory view of the material being processed. The choice of a processability test for development of mix composition depends upon the degree of information which it is economical to acquire. If an order calls for an isolated 400 kg of material for a noncritical application, it may be worth doing no processability testing at all. On the other hand, if a factory is to produce hundreds of tonnes per week of a single type of mix, it is well worth while discovering considerable detail about the characteristics of that mix. In this case, equipment providing fundamental data over a wide range of shear rates and at small and large strains may avoid carrying processes so near to a critical condition that any slight change in material or process may cause a catastrophe. Many factory activities fall between these examples and thus require individual consideration.

Nanofiber Mats

In this study we report for the first time about the preparation of polyacrilontrile (PAN)/konjac glucomannan (KGM) nanofiber mats, needleless electrospinning from the low-toxic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the formation of carbon nanocomposites. Konjac glucomannan is a biopolymer and renewable, environmentally friendly raw material and a well-known polysaccharide, which is non-toxic and biocompatible material and is extracted from the Amorphophallus konjac plant. The addition of poloxamer in electrospinning PAN/KGM solution resulted in the reduction of membrane areas and decrease of beads in nanofibers. The concentration of 1.5% or 0.5% of konjac glucomannan in PAN/KGM nanofiber mats was not detected to affect the morphology of the nanofiber mats. The PAN/KGM nanofiber mats received oxidative stabilization and subsequent carbonization. It could be observed that after the oxidative stabilization process the average diameter of PAN/KGM nanofibers increased and after carbonization decreased compared to stabilized nanofibers. Alternative renewable raw materials such as KGM electrospun with synthetic polymers offer the possibility to reduce the environmental impact and are the alternative to new technical materials and lowers the cost of carbon materials. The combination of PAN with konjac glucomannan and the properties of both polymers open up a wide range of applications for the PAN/KGM nanofiber mats and carbon nanocomposites produced in this study, for example, for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, as absorbents for the removal of pollutants in wastewater and as filter media for air purification, as well as for optical and chemical sensors.

Pulp Production

The use of recovered paper as a raw material for paper production is by far the most economical and ecological strategy for the disposal of waste paper. However, paper production from recovered paper furnish generates a great amount of residues, and the higher the demand requirements for the end product, the higher the amount of rejected material. The reason for this is that the selectivity of the deinking process is limited; therefore, some valuable components are also lost in reject streams. The rejection of usable components affects the economics of recycled paper production. As the cost of waste disposal continues to increase, this issue is becoming more and more severe. This paper summarizes the current state of the resource efficiency in recycled pulp production and provides information on the volumes of rejected streams and the usable material within them. Various means to use these reject streams are also discussed, including the main findings of a recent thesis by the main author. This review summarizes current internal and external use of reject streams generated in the deinking operations.
