The physical essence of the formation and influence of bacteria on the surface of technological equipment in the dairy industry is considered as an essential factor leading to contamination of dairy products and is a major hygienic problem. The ability of microorganisms on the surfaces of technological equipment to form biofilm forms and requirements for steel grade, relief, and its roughness were analysed. The effect of surface roughness on promoting or preventing adhesion and reproduction of biofilm forms of bacteria, which reduce the efficiency of sanitary processing of dairy equipment and thereby increase the microbial contamination of dairy products with shortened shelf life, is substantiated. Research about the process of bacterial adhesion to the surface of metals with different roughness depending on the size and shape is presented. It is found that on the surface of stainless steel with roughness 2.687 ±0.014 micron film formation process in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are similar from 3 to 24 hours and does not depend on the size of the bacteria, and accordingly allows us to argue that rod-shaped and coccid bacteria attach freely in the hollows of the roughness are the beginning of the process of the first stage of biofilm formation. It is found that on the surface of stainless steel with roughness 0.95 ±0.092 micron film formation process in S. aureus is more intense than in E. coli. Thus, within 3 hours of incubation, the density of biofilms formed S. aureus was 1.2 times bigger than biofilms E. coli, by the next 15 hours of incubation formed biofilms S. aureus were, on average, 1.3 times denser. It is established that S. aureus due to its spherical shape is able to fit in the hollows of the roughness 0.95 ±0.092 μm and faster to adhere to the surface at the same time. E. coli, due to its rod-like shape, with such surface roughness, can adhere to the cavities only over its entire length. It is proved that by surface roughness 0.63 ±0.087 μm film intensity S. aureus was, on average, 1.4 times faster than E. coli, for roughness 0.16 ±0.018 micron film formation process took place equally for S. aureus and E. coli, but biofilms were lower in density than those formed on roughness 0.63 ±0.087 micron. Studies suggest that the use of equipment in the dairy industry with a roughness of less than 0.5 microns will reduce the attachment of microorganisms to the surface and reduce the contamination of dairy products.
The article presents alternatives for the use of additional components of cultivation technology for lentil that are aimed at increasing tolerance to a water deficiency at the early stages of growth and development, namely: (i) soil amendment with moisture-retaining polymers; (ii) seed treatment with a growth regulator contributing to a better formation of the root system; (iii) the use of biological product providing for the formation of the soil mycorrhizal biota; and (iv) foliar application of micro fertilizers. The best in terms of the effect on the growth and development of plants appeared the following treatments: seed treatment with the growth regulator Kelpak SC (3 l/t), soil amendment with moisture-retaining polymers Aquasorb (200 kg/ha) and mycorrhizal bio preparation Mycofriend (1 l/ha), followed by the treatment of plants with micro fertilizer Reakom-SP-Legumes (3 l/ha, BBCH 14) or Quantum-Legumes (1.0 l/ha, BBCH 14). These treatments contributed to an increase in the number of stems of the 2 nd and 3 rd orders by 1.8 and 2.0, leaves by 8.6 and 8.8, and nods by 15.3 and 16.1, respectively, compared to the control treatment. In addition, a combination of these plant products had a positive impact on the formation of filled beans, and the plants formed 23.5−23.7 filled beans. Also, these treatments provided 1.6−1.8 times increase in the number of seeds per bean compared to the control. Pre-sowing seed treatment with the growth regulator Kelpak SC (3 l/t), application of moisture-retaining polymers Aquasorb (200 kg/ha) and mycorrhizal bio preparation Mycofriend (1 l/ha), followed by foliar application of fertilizers Reakom SC Legumes (3 l/ha, BBCH 14) or Quantum-Legumes (1.0 l/ha, BBCH 14) contributed to the formation of lentil yield of 3.15 and 3.17 t/ha, respectively, over the years of the experiment. The integral action of these plant products contributed to obtaining seeds with a higher content of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins, macro and microelements. Moreover, young lentil sprouts can resist adverse environmental factors due to the richer biochemical stocks formed in a seed.
The article highlights a complex of studies and a comparative assessment of flour of various varieties and hybrids of chia and sorghum. It was found that, in terms of their chemical composition, these crops are advisable to use as raw materials for the production of gluten free products. To live a full life, people with celiac disease must constantly consume gluten-free foods. Rice, buckwheat, millet, corn are considered safe, and amaranth, quinoa, sago, Setaria italica, sorghum are also less common in Ukraine. To obtain high-quality gluten-free products, it is important to choose the right raw materials and their ratio in chemical composition. Therefore, it is advisable to study and compare the chemical composition of sorghum and chia flour. The aim of the research was to study and compare the chemical composition of whole grain sorghum flour versus chia for use in the food industry as a source of gluten-free nutrition. The experimental part of the work was carried out during 2017–2019 in the hybrids of grain sorghum of Ukrainian (Lan 59), French (Targga) and American (Prime) selection and Spanish sage (chia) (Salvia hispanica) varieties: Salba, Tzotzol, Iztac. Whole grain sorghum and chia flours were obtained from their grains and various chemical constituents were determined. Comparative analysis of the chemical composition of sorghum and chia flour allows us to note that, on average, the protein content in sorghum was in the range from 9.53 to 10.6 g, in chia varieties from 14.98 to 16.52 g, which is on average five, 8 g more. The data on the determination of fats show that in the hybrid of sorghum of Ukrainian selection, this indicator was 2.8 g, French 1.24 g, and American – 3.3 g, as for chia, this indicator is much higher and varies by varieties from 30, 12 to 30.71 g. Starch is the main component of flour and in sorghum; its mass fraction is more in the Prime hybrid 63.7 g, Lan 59 – 63.1 g and the smallest amount in Targga – 62.7 g. It has been determined that grain sorghum and chia flour has a high content of B vitamins, which act as coenzymes of a number of metabolic processes. In addition to the vitamins listed above, sorghum flour contains vitamins B9, B5, B6 as well. Chia varieties have high levels of micro- and microelements. Key words: flour, vitamins, microelements, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, celiac disease, sorghum, chia.
The article presents a qualitative assessment and chemical component of sesame flour depending on the color. Enrichment of consumer products to increase the nutritional value of products intended for major populations is extremely important today. Increasing the nutritional value of products using various technological techniques, for example, by adding raw materials of natural origin, in particular, sesame flour is a promising solution of the issueo. This flour contains a large number of nutritious and valuable nutrients.

The purpose of the research was to study the feasibility of using non-traditional baking raw material of sesame seed flour, evaluation of its amino acid composition for further use in the baking industry in the development of technology for special purpose organic products. The flour of sesame seeds of different colors harvested in 2017–2020 was used for research. The amino acid composition in low-fat sesame flour, depending on the color, allows us to note that the content of essential and substitutable acids on average over the years of research was higher in black flour, and the lowest - in dark brown. The high content of glycine was noted in black sesame – 1.398 g, 0.017 g lower than white, gold – 0.040 g, light brown – 0.058 g and dark brown – 0.082 g. Palmitoleic and oleic (omega-9) represent Monounsaturated fatty acids in sesame low-fat flour. The color of sesame flour has a signifcant effect on their content. Of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, the highest content of linoleic is founding in black – 19.5 g, only 0.2 g less in white and 0.5 g – in gold. Light and dark brown compared to black were lower by 0.8 and 1.1 g, respectively. Кey words: essential and replaceable amino acids, cealics, hypocalcemia, gluten-free products, color.
The article presents the results of research on quality formation of berries and jams of different of chokeberry varieties. It was found that the content of organic acids, protein, fber and carbohydrates in chokeberry of Kutno variety was signifcantly lower compared to Belder variety. The biochemical component in jam differed from that of fresh berries. Thus, fat content was absent. The content of organic acids was 2.2–2.8 times, the protein content – 2.0–3.0, the fber content – 2.3–2.9, the water content – 3.7 times lower than that of fresh berries. However, the carbohydrate content was 6.8–6.9 times higher than that of fresh berries depending on chokeberry variety. The higher content of carbohydrates in jam is due to the fact that sugar was added during its preparation. In fresh chokeberries of Kutno variety, the content of vitamin A, B3, E and C was signifcantly lower compared to Belder variety. Of the studied vitamins in fresh berries, vitamin C content was the highest – 11–14 mg/100 g depending on the variety. Vitamins B1 and B2 content did not change depending on the variety. It should be noted that this indicator was the same in fresh berries and jam. Vitamin A content in chokeberry jam was 2.5–3.2 times, B3 – 1.7–1.8, E – 2.2–2.5, C – 2.8–3.7 times lower depending on the variety. It was found that vitamins C (10–13 %) and E (7–10 %) provide the greatest daily intake of 100 g of fresh berries depending on chokeberry variety. Jam integrated score was lower and amounted to 3–5 and 3–4 %, respectively, depending on the variety. The lowest daily intake is provided by 100 g of fresh berries with vitamin B1 – by 1%. The integrated score for vitamins B2, A and B3 was 2–5 % depending on chokeberry variety. Jam indicator was only 2–3 %. Fresh chokeberry best meet the daily needs of the human body with fosphorus –by 10 % The integrated score for magnesium and iron was 6–9 % depending on the variety. At least this need is met by fresh chokeberries with sodium – by 0.1 %. Integrated score for calcium and potassium was 3–4 %. The greatest daily need of 100 g of jam is satisfed by iron – by 7–8 %. The least – by sodium – by 0.1 %. Integrated score for calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus was 1–6 % depending on chokeberry variety. Key words: chokeberry, fresh berries, jam, biochemical component, vitamins, mineral elements, integrated score.
