The higher demands of fossil energy usage are currently imbalance to its reserves. This issue will give a potency of fossil fuel scarcity that contributes on rising of its cost and disturbing economic stabilization in the future. It is desirable to find another resource which is sustainable and renewable to reduce the dependency on this resource. This study aimed to utilize the oil from instant coffee waste as biodiesel feedstocks. The coffee oil was extracted from instant-coffee waste by Soxhlet extractor and characterized its physical and chemical properties. The solvent extraction through the solid bed of coffee ground performed by five cycles interval using n-hexane as a solvent. Separation processing oil from its hydrocarbon solvent was in a rotary vacuum evaporator and the oil extract collected for further purposes. There was about 17.6% (on a dry weight basis) of coffee oil gained on 20 cycles of extraction. Analysis regarding its physicochemical properties reported that the crude oil has 0.89 g/mL of density, 43.82 mm2/s of kinematic viscosity, 44.47 mg KOH/g of acid value, and 176.40 mg KOH/g of saponification value. The fatty acids composition of the oil provided by GC-MS analyzer showed that unsaturated fatty acids contained, observed as trans-fatty acids rather than cis-fatty acids.

The fat migration processes by changing the fatty acid composition of individual parts of glazed sweets with praline-type bodies (based on peanuts) during storage at different temperatures was studied. The main mechanism of mass transfer is considered to be the fat migration through the volume of products through the capillaries. The maximum migration rate of the liquid fat phase is at a storage temperature of 23-25 ° C in samples without transisomers of unsaturated fatty acids. Its reduction is possible with the introduction of 20-30% lauric acid into the fat fraction of products. The crystalline structure of the confectionery fats included in the candy fillings has a significant effect on the migration rate of the liquid fat phase into the glaze. The smallest one corresponded to fats in the β-polymorphic form with an admixture of no more than 3% crystals in the β'-polymorphic form. The specific rate of fat migration has been calculated taking into account the size of a glazed sweets model samples. When in storage temperature increases from 18 to 27 ˚С, it increased 1.7 times. The results of studies of changes in the composition of fatty acids of model samples individual parts of glazed sweets during storage at temperatures of 18 and 27 °C are presented. The proposed approach makes it possible to predict the fat migration processes rate. The comprehensive assessment methodology, which includes the determination of physical and chemical quality indicators during storage, the regularities of fat migration and microbiological changes, will justify the requirements for the technology parameters and the recipe composition of glazed sugary confectionery products with a given expiration date.

Совершенствование процессов модификации масел и жиров при получении жировых полуфабрикатов с оптимальными свойствами кристаллообразования является актуальным для масложирового и кондитерского производств. Существует ограниченное количество природных растительных масел с оптимальным жирнокислотным и триглицеридным составом для применения в качестве основы жировых смесей при производстве кондитерских жировых начинок. Богатые насыщенными жирными кислотами какао-масло и масло ши являются дорогостоящими жировыми компонентами со специфическими свойствами для использования в кондитерских изделиях. Между тем пальмовое масло имеет хороший баланс между насыщенными и ненасыщенными жирными кислотами. С целью снижения себестоимости жировых полуфабрикатов за счет повторной переработки образующихся промежуточных олеиновых фракций пальмового масла и получения жировых полуфабрикатов, имеющих аналогичные средней фракции пальмового масла физико-химические и структурно-механические свойства, проведено комплексное исследование физико-химических свойств и основных показателей плавления и застывания разработанных жировых композиций: температура застывания не более 23,4°C; твердость при 20°C от 43,7 до 44,7%; массовая доля триглицерида POP от 41,4 до 42,7%. Физико-химические характеристики исходных компонентов жировых полуфабрикатов, %, твердость при 20°C: промежуточной олеиновой фракции 32,5; первой стеариновой фракции 74,3; средней фракции пальмового масла 45,6. Температура плавления промежуточной олеиновой фракции 32,8°C. Получены образцы жировых полуфабрикатов для производства кондитерских жировых начинок (индекс кристаллизации от 1,9 до 2,0). Результаты исследования показали возможность создания жировых полуфабрикатов – аналогов средней фракции пальмового масла, имеющих в составе 10% промежуточной олеиновой фракции. Improvement of the processes of modification of oils and fats when obtaining fatty semi-finished products with optimal crystal formation properties is relevant for production fat and oil products and confectionery. There is a limited amount of natural vegetable oils with an optimal fatty acid and triglyceride composition for use as the basis of fatty mixtures in the production of confectionery fat fillings. Rich in saturated fatty acids, cocoa butter and shea butter are expensive fatty components with specific properties for use in confectionery. Meanwhile, palm oil has a good balance between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. In order to reduce the cost of semi-finished fat products by re-processing the formed intermediate oleic fractions of palm oil and obtaining fat semi-finished products having physicochemical and structural-mechanical properties similar to the middle fraction of palm oil, a comprehensive study of the physicochemical properties and the main indicators of melting and solidification developed fatty compositions: pour point no more than 23,4°C; hardness at 20°Cfrom 43,7 to 44,7%; mass fraction of POP triglyceride from 41,4 to 42,7%. Physical and chemical characteristics of the initial components of fatty semi-finished products, %, hardness at 20°C: intermediate oleic fraction 32,5; first stearic fraction 74,3; middle palm oil fraction 45,6. The melting point of the intermediate oleic fraction is 32,8°C. Samples of fatty semi-finished products for the production of confectionery fatty fillings (crystallization index from 1,9 to 2,0) were obtained. The results of the study showed the possibility of creating fatty semi-finished products – analogues of the mid-fraction of palm oil, which contain 10% of the intermediate oleic fraction.

The research was performed to examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of seeds and kernels of Jatropha curcas. The test parameters were the dimensions of the seeds and kernels, required energy for oil extraction, determination of fatty acids in the oil by gas chromatography method, determination of the iodine value, determination of the acid value, determination of total polyphenols by the Folin & Ciocault reagent and determination of tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) by High-performance liquid chromatography. It was ascertained that the size of the seed and kernel varies considerably. Pressing of whole seeds needs more energy (50%) than pressing of kernels. From a chemical point of view it seems to be very appropriate for a production of biofuels. Jatropha curcas contains more polyphenols and vitamin E, which act as antioxidants, than the rape. Due to the low content of unsaturated fatty acids it is chemically suitable to replace the rape-seed oil with Jatropha curcas oil.

Aloe ferox is an important medicinal plant in Southern Africa whose seeds could be useful as a source of oil. The fatty acid composition of A. ferox seed oil was determined using gas chromatography. The physicochemical properties of the oil were analysed using standard methods. The seeds yielded 19.4% of a light textured oil using the Blight and Dyer's method and 12.3% using the Soxhlet extraction method. The saponification value of the seed oil was 241.9 mg KOH/g and the peroxide value was 8.9 meq/kg. The acid value of the seed oil was 51.5 mg KOH/g (25.9% free fatty acids). The major fatty acids found in the seed oil were linoleic acid (71.8%), oleic acid (12.0%), palmitic acid (11.2%) and stearic acid (2.9%). The results obtained suggest that as A. ferox seed oil is high in linoleic acid, it could be potentially exploited in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
