Physical properties and bioavailability of the encapsulated forms of essential fatty acids under the conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis simulating the human gastrointestinal tract have been analyzed. A direct link between mechanical characteristics of the capsules and transportation of bioactive substances within the experimental time has been established.

The article presents research in the field of influence of ultrasonic vibrations on distillates of vegetable oils, in particular rapeseed and sunflower. In the course of the research, the main physico-chemical indices of distillates of vegetable oils were determined after their sonication. A laboratory facility for carrying out experimental work is described. According to the test results, the intensity of ultrasonic radiation is determined to produce distillates with new qualitative indices. The results of these studies indicate that the use of ultrasonic technologies in the processing of rapeseed and sunflower oil distillates improves the quality of the latter, and also extends the scope of their subsequent processing.

The data describing the composition of antioxidants contained in food additives obtained using innovative technologies from secondary plant resources formed at fruits and vegetables processing are given. It has been established that the researched food additives provide a reliable decrease in the mass fraction of malonic dialdehyde and diene conjugates in the blood serum of animals of the experimental groups as compared to the control group of animals. The obtained data allow drawing a conclusion that the researched food additives exhibit antioxidant properties. It’s been revealed that food additives exhibit hepatoprotective properties, along with antioxidant properties, characterized by a significant decrease in the level of activity of liver enzymes. By the degree of manifestation of these properties, the researched food additives can be arranged in a row (in descending order): “Grape seeds powder” ® “Apple powder”® “Pumpkin powder”.

A mathematical description of the extraction process with impregnation of a porous raw material in a multistage countercurrent cascade is give, which led to the conclusion that the increased porosity of the extracted material leads to a decrease in the extraction depth at other equal conditions.

As a result of the studies, dynamics of the toxicity level change of the hookah mixture aerosol in the storage process during smoking was determined.

To comply with Section V of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union on Tobacco Products (TR / CU 035/2014) “Requirements for Tobacco Products”, the regularities of the effect of the terms and conditions of storage of different types of cigarettes on the content of toxic components in tobacco smoke, on tasting and smoking properties are studied.

Sale of liquids for electronic cigarettes requires constant monitoring for this product at the market. The article presents the results of the study on the detection of nicotine in commercial samples of liquids for electronic cigarettes, obtained using the procedure for detecting nicotine in liquids for electronic nicotine delivery systems.

In the course of the experiment, natural biologically active substances were selected to enrich the buttery biscuits. Optimum dosages of additives - oatmeal flour and sugary laminaria powder, providing a physiological effect are determined. The paper presents the results of the investigation of the influence of laminaria powder on the structural and mechanical properties of the dough, as well as the quality characteristics of finished products.

The influence of food additives of “Jerusalem artichoke tubers powder”, “Hedge-rose fruit powder” and nonfat sunflower lecithin on structural and mechanical characteristics of fat filling for waffle products was studied. It was found that optimal structural and mechanical characteristics of the fat filling were provided with the dosage of a complex of food additives of 10% instead of powdered sugar and replacement of liquid soya lecithin with nonfat sunflower lecithin.

The article is devoted to the adsorption of sunflower oil pigments on the surface of protonated diatomite. It is found that the degree of extraction of β-carotene from the oil by protonated diatomite depends mainly on the amount of adsorbent, and the degree of extraction of chlorophyll A depends on the magnitude of the positive charge of the surface of the protonated diatomite, which increases with the addition of 1 mass % of aluminum hydroxide.

The article presents the main directions for the implementation of the policy of import substitution at the regional level on the example of the Rostov region. The main directions and tools for supporting the policy of import substitution by regional authorities and management are analyzed.

Characterizing the profitability of agriculture, the main problems that hinder the development of the industry are identified. The tools of agrarian policy that help solve the identified problems are proposed: modernization of production in order to reduce production costs; improving access of agricultural producers to markets, increasing their share in the final price; improving the budgeting of agriculture.

The article deals with the issues of development, preservation and effective functioning of the Olympic heritage sites located on the territory of Sochi. It is shown that the competent alignment of the system of eventual events that use the material and non-material potential of this heritage is one of the most important tasks of its management. At the same time, the realization of the Olympic heritage potential and definition of the most promising areas of tourism in the Krasnodar Territory are viewed both in internal and external aspects.

The author analyze the peculiarities of venture financing of innovative activity in the current economic conditions, note the essential role of state support for this field of activity, highlight the problems of the domestic system of state support for the development of venture financing of innovation activities.

Allocation of costs for technological innovations across Russian regions has changed little during 2010-2014-s, that is in many respects favorable for the formation of an appropriate investment attractiveness of the country and regions. This factor should be taken into account in state programs and strategies for building an innovative economy.

Stimulant effect of radiation on the mycorrhizal behavior of seedlings and parental individuals of Scotch pine, English oak tree, European fir at MED = 120 ... 270 microR / h and inhibitory effect at MED = 500 ... 1000 mcR / h is considered.

The studies have revealed that flax oilseed sown on herbicide fallow ripened faster compared to options on wheat stubble, for an average 4-6 days. Crops on wheat stubble were inferior to those of herbicide fallow by 3-7% in terms of the overall survival of plants. The highest yield of flax oilseed was shown in the herbicide fallow with a row spacing of 23 cm. The application of desiccation 10 days prior to harvesting increased the yield of this crop by 5-7%.

The article presents an analysis of honey productivity of forest areas after conducting sanitary measures in pine and fir plantations of the Training and Experimental Forestry of the Belarusian State University of Forestry in order to identify the optimal conditions for the collection of honey in them. For this purpose, the problem to determine honey production of different parcels of the researched areas has been studied. The completeness of the cutting area is determined, which ensures maximum honey productivity, factors of the formation of crimson parcels are revealed.
