Zephyr is one of the most favorite sweets in Russia: tender and airy. So, in 2017, the share of zephyr accounted for 23.5% in the segment of sugary confectionery products in Russia, which in physical terms amounted to 251.5 thousand tons. Its popularity among consumers is facilitated by the fact that natural fruit raw materials are used in the manufacture of zephyr. The modern industrial technology of zephyr is developed on the basis of folk recipes for pastila, which was made from apples and honey as a way of preserving apples. Zephyr is a pastila type confectionery of a foamy structure, the mass fraction of fruit raw materials in which is not less than 11%, the density is not more than 0.6 g / cm3. The use of a large amount of fruit raw materials in zephyr increases the nutritional value and enriches it with macro- and micronutrients. Pectin gives additional beneficial properties to zephyr, since it is able to bind heavy metals and radionuclides. The mass fraction of pectin in zephyr is in the range from 3% to 9%, which turns zephyr into a source of dietary fiber. To preserve the unique Russian dessert, the Research Institute of the Confectionery Industry has developed a method for determining the mass fraction of fruit raw materials in pastila products based on the ratio of the mass fraction of organic acids and macronutrients, the values of which are determined using the method of capillary electrophoresis. 34 samples of zephyr presented in the retail chains of the Russian Federation were studied for compliance with the requirements of the state standard for the content of fruit raw materials. High content of fruit raw materials from 11 to 60% was confirmed for most samples.

The article raises the problem of ensuring metrological traceability of the measurement results of indicators of quality and nutritional value for food products and food raw materials: water (moisture), nitrogen (protein, crude protein), fat, ash and carbohydrates. The problem under consideration can be solved by applying reference materials of food composition, traceable to state primary measurement standards GET 173-2017 and GET 176-2019 and primary reference measurement procedures (PRMP), for attestation of measurement procedures and accuracy checking of measurement results. The article discusses the results of the PRMP development of mass fraction of fat, ash and carbohydrates in food products and food raw materials, as well as mass fraction of crude fat (oil content) in oil crops seeds and products based on them. The paper also presents metrological characteristics of reference materials of composition of dry dairy products, grain-milk dry porridges for nutrition of babies, grain dry porridges for nutrition of babies, egg powder, freeze-dried meat products, animal feed. The results of the work allow for building a chain of metrological traceability from GET 173-2017, GET 176-2019 and PRMP to routine measurement procedures, thereby ensuring the uniformity of measurements of nutritional value of food products.

Capsaicinoid content, among other factors, affects the perception of spiciness of commercial kimchi. Here, we investigated whether the physicochemical properties of kimchi affect the spicy taste of capsaicinoids perceived by the tasting. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to evaluate the capsaicinoid content (mg/kg) of thirteen types of commercial kimchi. The physicochemical properties such as pH, titratable acidity, salinity, free sugar content, and free amino acid content were evaluated, and the spicy strength grade was determined by selected panel to analyze the correlation between these properties. Panels were trained for 48 h prior to actual evaluation by panel leaders trained for over 1000 h according to the SpectrumTM method. Partial correlation analysis was performed to examine other candidate parameters that interfere with the sensory evaluation of spiciness and capsaicinoid content. To express the specific variance after eliminating the effects of other variables, partial correlations were used to estimate the relationships between two variables. We observed a strong correlation between spiciness intensity ratings and capsaicinoid content, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.78 at p ≤ 0.001. However, other specific variables may have influenced the relationship between spiciness intensity and total capsaicinoid content. Partial correlation analysis indicated that the free sugar content most strongly affected the relationship between spiciness intensity and capsaicinoid content, showing the largest first-order partial correlation coefficient (rxy/z: 0.091, p ≤ 0.01).

Abstract Social information is widely used in the animal kingdom and can be highly adaptive. In social insects, foragers can use social information to find food, avoid danger or choose a new nest site. Copying others allows individuals to obtain information without having to sample the environment. When foragers communicate information they will often only advertise high quality food sources, thereby filtering out less adaptive information. Stingless bees, a large pantropical group of highly eusocial bees, face intense inter- and intra-specific competition for limited resources, yet display disparate foraging strategies. Within the same environment there are species that communicate the location of food resources to nest-mates and species that do not. Our current understanding of why some species communicate foraging sites while others do not is limited. Studying freely foraging colonies of several co-existing stingless bee species in Brazil, we investigated if recruitment to specific food locations is linked to (1) the sugar content of forage, (2) the duration of foraging trips and (3) the variation in activity of a colony from one day to another and the variation in activity in a species over a day. We found that, contrary to our expectations, species with recruitment communication did not return with higher quality forage than species that do not recruit nestmates. Furthermore, foragers from recruiting species did not have shorter foraging trip durations than those from weakly-recruiting species. Given the intense inter- and intraspecific competition for resources in these environments, it may be that recruiting species favour food resources that can be monopolised by the colony rather than food sources that offer high-quality rewards.

Subject of research – sugar content in rye bread with fractionally defatted flour from walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame and Jerusalem artichoke powder. The purpose – to investigate the chemical composition of sugars in flour from oilseed meal and to explain the impact of new raw materials upon the sugar content in bread made from rye flour. Materials and methods. For the production of pilot of bread used: rye flour; fermented rye malt; table salt; drinking water; ready liquid rye sourdough (composition: Lactobacillus plantarum 30, L .casei 26, L. fermenti 34, L .brevis and Saccharomyces minor "Chernorichenskaya", S. cerevisiae L1); fractionally defatted flour from walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sesame produced by PE "Research and Production Company "Elitfito"; Jerusalem artichoke powder "Dar". The dough was prepared in a three-phase way: liquid sourdough – saccharified choux – dough. Jerusalem artichoke powder and oilseed meal were added to the dough. The chemical composition of sugars in raw materials and bread was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The effect of fractionally defatted flour on the course of processes in rye dough was performed on a farinograph and amylograph of Brabender. The intensity of gas formation of the dough was determined on the device AG-1. Changes in the crystal structure of the bread crumb were performed using X-ray phase analysis on the device DRON UM-1 in the range of angles 2θ from 5 to 60 degrees. Results. It is established that the share of sugars in flour from oilseed meal is 2 ... 8 times higher than the content of sugars in rye flour. The content of sugars in fractionally defatted flour from walnuts is 43.0 %, from pumpkin seeds – 14.2 %, from sesame – 12.8% by weight of dry matter. Up to 80% of all sugars in fractionally defatted flour are sucrose and maltose. The ratio of fructose to glucose in fractionally defatted flour from walnuts is 1:1.25; from pumpkin seeds – 1:0.73; of sesame seeds – 1:0.5. The addition of 7.0 % fractionally defatted flour mixed with 3 % of the Jerusalem artichoke powder reduces the mass fraction of sugars in bread compared to the bread made with Jerusalem artichoke only. It has been studied that fractionally defatted flour from walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sesame reduces the hydrolytic decomposition of rye flour starch and promotes the process of fermentation of sugars. Scope. A mixture of fractionally defatted flour from oilseed meal in the amount of 7 % should be used for the production of bread from rye flour with 3 % Jerusalem artichoke powder to the mass fraction of flour to reduce the content of high glycemic starch sugars.

In order to determine the influence of temperature and time of germination of the Bogatyr variety buckwheat on a change in the content of vitamins E, C, and B group, the germination parameters were optimized when developing a new type of seasoning. To optimize the germination parameters, the response surface methodology was used. The maximum total content of B, E, and C group vitamins in the sprouted buckwheat (4.591 mg/100 g) was observed at a temperature of 21.5 °C and the duration of germination of 3 days. The Bogatyr variety buckwheat was sprouted for 4 days. Changes in the nutritional and biological value of the sprouted grains were registered after 24 hours. Based on the comparative chemical analysis, it was established that the content of protein, fiber, vitamins, amino acids increases during the germination of buckwheat in comparison with the control sample. The protein content on day 4 increases by 1.38 times compared to control. At the same time, the mass fraction of carbohydrates on day 4 is reduced by 1.57 times; the mass fraction of fat ‒ by 2 times. It was established that the prototype seasoning that contains 30 % of sprouted buckwheat is characterized by a higher content of protein, vitamins, micro-and macronutrients compared to the control sample (without the addition of sprouted buckwheat). Adding the sprouted buckwheat grain to the seasoning has made it possible to increase by 25 % the antioxidant activity of the finished product compared to the control sample, which is 259.09 and 383.72 mg/100 g, respectively. In terms of safety indicators, the new product fully complies with the requirements for sanitary and hygienic safety. The results reported here give reasons to recommend the production of a new type of seasonings of enhanced nutritional value based on the sprouted Bogatyr variety buckwheat, which could expand and improve the quality of nutrition

Coconut water is highly consumed for refreshment due to its nutritional value. However, its nutritional value varies according to the ecotype and stage of maturity of ecotype. In order to identify best ecotypes with high nutritious value, a physico-chemical composition of ten (10) ecotypes was performed at earlier stage of maturity (3 months). The measured parameters were: coconut height, mass of water, total sugar content, soluble sugar content, protein, titratable acidity and pH.  The obtained results showed that all parameters vary from one ecotype to another. All coconut ecotypes contain water slightly acid with a pH value less than 7.  Furthermore, there is no relationship between physical and biochemical parameters. However, within characterized ecotypes, Ecotype_2, appeared to have the best biochemical composition with a significant amount of water. This study provided important informations related to physico-chemical characteristics of coconuts ecotypes found in the coastal zone.

In Vietnam, the giant mottle eel Anguilla marmorata is the most widely distributed species and being exploited for seed in aquaculture as well as for human consumption. This study aims to investigate the basic nutritional components of the fish. The eels were collected from six locations of Thua Thien Hue province, with weights from 5 to 3200 g. In addition, the content of lipid in skin and tissue was also examined. The results show that eel flesh has a relatively high nutritional value. The water, protein, lipid, and total sugar content of the fish meat is 60.4 ± 0.94%, 19.54 ± 4.31%, 18.2 ± 1.02%, and 1.34 ± 0.34 (mg/g), respectively. The nutritional components of the eel have a good correlation with the weight according to the equation: Y = a × ln (W) + b (where W is the weight of eels; Y is the content of nutritional components; a is the correlation coefficient b is a constant) with r > 0.9. The lipid content of the fish skin is higher than that of muscle and meat.
