The hue and color intensity are referred to optical properties of soft drinks made from fruit and berry raw materials that are crucial for control of their quality and identification. In addition, a natural color of raw materials is attractive for consumers since it provides a more appealing natural appearance to the drink. Sea buckthorn drinks are prone to browning during storage due to the specific chemical composition of berries, which necessitates the control of their optical properties. The study aimed to investigate optical properties of different groups of sea buckthorn drinks during storage, namely clarified juice and dry wine material made from sea buckthorn of the Chuiskaya variety, and to establish the possibility of using some calculated parameters that characterize the drink color in techno-chemical control practices. Optical properties of drink samples were determined with a UV-1800 spectrophotometer, and the values obtained were used to calculate the parameters of intensity, hue, and yellowness. It is shown that physical methods can be used to control optical properties of sea buckthorn drinks in order to objectively assess the color as one of the basic organoleptic parameters of drink quality. It is established that the results of optical analysis are consistent with visual assessment of the sea buckthorn drink samples during storage, which opens up prospects for implementation of this research method in the laboratories of enterprises involved in processing of sea buckthorn to produce various groups of drinks.
The article studies strategic and operational sustainability of organization and provides methodological approach to analyzing of company business sustainability. The author introduces index of business sustainability, which allows us to monitor operational sustainability of organizations on the basis of income and product (service) cost. Methodology of calculating the index of business sustainability with the help of data given in Form P-5 (m) of statistic reporting was provided. On the basis of business sustainability index its flexibility can be analyzed as the correlation of business sustainability index of the current and previous periods. It is shown that in case this correlation exceeds 1, sustainability of enterprise development rises, if it is 1, then sustainability of enterprise development maintains and if it is lower than 1, sustainability of enterprise development drops and managerial solutions are required to raise sustainability of enterprise development. At the same time factors affecting business sustainability were identified, including the remuneration fund, which should be retained and increased in case of other cost optimization.
As a result of the evaluation of the indicators of a large fishing enterprise of the Volga-Caspian basin (carrying out extraction and processing of biological resources), proposals were presented to reduce the value of the property and sources of financing of the organization, and this decrease was generally balanced with changes in revenue and profit of the enterprise. Considering the results of the analysis, as well as external and internal factors of the organization’s functioning, it is recommended to create a planning system to ensure financial stability in subsequent periods. Implementation is possible with the organization of the budgeting process. A stock management strategy was proposed to optimize their volume and structure. ABC analysis was used for this purpose, which made it possible to strengthen control over the main types of stocks and improve management efficiency. The proposed measures will facilitate the release of funds and contribute to the stabilization of the financial condition of the enterprise.
The article discusses the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of the food industry company through the introduction of long-term strategic planning. The scheme of interaction of the company’s departments in terms of development of strategic planning has been composed. The conducted SWOT analysis defined that the optimal basic strategy for the company is the strategy of strengthening its position in the market. Assessment of competitiveness and analysis of management systems and strategic development showed that the management system of the company under consideration requires adjustment, taking into account the conditions of the internal and external business environment. Based on the studies, the corrective measures are proposed and composed into a strategic planning plan. The proposed measures are given an economic assessment, which confirm the growth of main economic parameters of the company and its strengthening in market.
Improving the financial stability of enterprises producing agricultural products is a priority direction of activity control. The analysis of financial activity of the enterprise producing agricultural products is presented. To assess the overall dynamics of financial stability, a horizontal and vertical analysis of the analytical balance sheet was carried out. The analysis of the main indicators of financial stability was carried out, the analysis was carried out using absolute indicators based on a comparison of the value of reserves and costs with sources of financing. As a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the positive results of production and financial activities also contributed to the increase in the well-being of the enterprise owners in 2018-2020. The level of profitability on equity in 2018-2020 increased significantly (by 2.45% and 34.36% points). The only factor that played a negative role in this was the growth of the leverage ratio. Based on the data obtained, recommendations are made to improve the financial stability of the enterprise.
