The evaluation of the quality and contents of nutritionally important chemical components in wheat bread fortified with teff flour and chia seed was shown. In the work, the quality was determined by means of the volume, total baking loss and yield and also by performing organoleptic evaluation. Moreover, the staling process in bread was also investigated. The research covers wheat bread (standard) and bread supplemented with 5, 10 and 15% of teff flour as well as bread with 5 and 10% of chia seed. It was found that the addition of teff flour or chia seeds significantly influenced all the quality characteristics. In the organoleptic evaluation, all the bread obtained was of the best quality. Moreover, in both teff flour and chia seed fortified bread it was established that they contained a higher content of protein, fat, ash and dietary fibre compared to pure wheat products. Therefore, the described fortifying raw materials can be considered a wholesome raw material in bakery production.


Among the works of domestic researchers, issues related to the assessment of the competitiveness of a particular type of goods or services are often raised, but specialized studies devoted specifically to the competitiveness of organic matter are practically absent among scientific interests. This is due to the novelty of this type of goods for the Russian consumer, an ambiguous understanding of the essence of "organic matter", difficulty in perceiving the price and quality characteristics of this product. This is also explained by the immaturity of the market itself, which is still in its infancy due to an undeveloped legisla-tive base, the lack of clear legislative and regulatory framework, and difficulties associated with bureau-cratic procedures. In the classical domestic understanding, the level of competitiveness is determined by the ability of a product to meet the requirements of the target audience, therefore, it is possible to analyze the competitiveness of products by comparing indicators of one product with indicators of other similar products, determining thereby how well one product or another is able to meet consumer needs. The competitiveness of a product is shaped by the influence of factors creating certain superiority over direct competitors, and an assessment of the level of competitiveness of environmentally friendly products will determine the future development of the organic market in the region, which contributes to the improve-ment of social well-being and consumer mood. The level of competitiveness of environmentally friendly products, due to the small number of manufacturers operating in the domestic market, can be based on an assessment of qualitative socio-demographic indicators. Therefore, methods for determining the level of competitiveness of environmentally friendly products should include an assessment of this product direct-ly from the perspective of final users, and, moreover, it will be of a subjective nature, which is associated with high individualization of organic product consumption.

Food demand is increasing every year and, usually animal-derived products are generated far from consumer-places. New technologies are being developed to preserve quality characteristics during processing and transportation. One of them is electrolyzed water (EW) that helps to avoid or decrease the development of foodborne pathogens, or losses by related bacteria. Initially, EW was used in ready-to-eat foods such as spinach, lettuce, strawberries, among others; however, its application in other products is under study. Every product has unique characteristics that require an optimized application of EW. Different sanitizers have been developed; unfortunately, they could have undesirable effects like deterioration of quality or alterations in sensory properties. Therefore, EW is gaining popularity in the food industry due to its characteristics: easy application and storage, no corrosion of work surfaces, absence of mucosal membrane irritation in workers handling food, and it is considered environmentally friendly. This review highlights the advantages of using EW in animal products like chicken, pork, beef, eggs and fish to preserve their safety and quality.

The transformation of high molecular weight components present in heavy oils into useable liquid fuels requires their decomposition by means of a variety of processes. The low molecular weight species produced recombine under controlled conditions to generate synthetic fuels. However, an important fraction undergo further recombination into higher molecular weight components, leading to the formation of coke. The optical texture of the coke can be related to its originating components. Those with high sulfur and oxygen content tend to produce cokes with small optical texture or fine mosaic, whereas compounds with relatively high hydrogen content are likely to produce large optical texture or domains. In addition, the structure of the parent chemical components, planar or nonplanar, determines the isotropic or anisotropic character of the coke. Planar molecules have a tendency to align in an approximately parallel arrangement to initiate the formation of the nematic mesophase leading to the formation of anisotropic coke. Nonplanar highly alkylated compounds and/or those rich in polar groups form isotropic coke. The aliphatic branches produce steric hindrance to alignment, whereas the polar groups participate in cross-linking reactions.
