EVALUATION OF CAVIAR INDICATORS FROM PUMPKIN FOR HEALTH DIRECTION ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article considers the quality indicators of the developed product samples “Vegetable Caviar” with the use of technological changes in production to obtain health food. This is due to the need to ensure the diet of certain groups and expand the range of enterprises. Thus, with the breakthrough of new technologies, there are now many harmful substances contained in food and cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and this makes it impossible to eat certain foods. One of the factors of such effect can be harmful technological processes of production. Replacing classic operations is very important to ensure the consumption of products that will not be harmful to health. According to the results of the research, it is determined that the quality indicators of the obtained caviar of health-improving direction with the use of the method of technological process replacement are within the norms established by the legislation. Therefore, we can say that the obtained samples accord DSTU 3797-98 on the following items: appearance and consistency, taste and smell, color, impurities, mass fraction of fat, mass fraction of dry matter by refractometer, mass fraction of chlorides, titratable acidity in terms of malic acid, mass fraction of mineral impurities. The ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrate content in calories is shown. If we compare the result with the data of the classic vegetable caviar from eggplant, it is obvious that the fat content decreased from 9 g to 2.7 g, ie by 70%. At the same time, the caloric content of finished products decreased by 54.3%, the carbohydrate content increased by 18.47% due to natural sugars contained in pumpkin and prunes. The obtained results of the calculation of economic efficiency indicate the possibility of using the hypotheses regarding the technological process of this type of product in the industrial technological process, as the price of the finished product corresponds to the average pricing policy. It should be noted that the products of the price leader do not meet modern requirements according to regulatory documentation.
