Introduction.The research was aimed at the development of a recipe and analysis of the production technology of minced meat semi-finished products using different amounts of Irish sea moss.

The goal of the research was to develop a recipe for minced meat semi-finished products with the introduction of Irish sea moss.

The objects and methods of the research. The studies were conducted at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Products of the Ural State Agrarian University. Crushed Irish sea moss was added in different amounts as a food additive. The mass fraction of table salt in cutlets was determined by the Mohr method, the temperature - with a thermometer. Organoleptic studies were carried out by an expert commission of 5 people.

The results and discussion. A recipe was developed for the production of minced meat semi-finished products with the addition of Irish sea moss from 1.5 to 3% of the mass of raw meat. The content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, iodine and energy value in the studied samples were calculated. The minimum amount of iodine was found in the control sample - 10.2 μg. In fortified samples, the iodine content fluctuated from 8.7% to 10.8% of the recommended daily intake. According to the results of organoleptic tests, sample No. 3 was determined to be the best, it had excellent taste qualities, appearance and cross-sectional appearance typical of minced semi-finished products. The largest amount of table salt was determined in sample No. 4, made with the maximum amount of the added additive.

The conclusion. According to the conducted research, we recommend adding Irish sea moss to minced cutlets in an amount of 2% of the meat raw material. 

Introduction. The results of the development and verification of “Kalmyk tea” technology with goat milk have been presented. It has been shown that the combination of a complex of biologically active substances in yellow dock and goat milk improves the functional properties of the “Kalmyk tea”.

The goal of the research is to study and update the “Kalmyk tea” technology based on yellow dock and goat milk.

The objects and methods of the research. The content of total protein, total fat and lactose in the original milk samples and finished drinks were determined using GOST methods; meta-analysis of modern scientific data on the biochemical composition of cow and goat milk; the hydromodulus and volume of the decoction were determined by the modeling method; organoleptic assessment of the drinks was carried out by an expert commission.

The results and discussion. Individual stages of the technological process of the traditional Adyghe drink “Kalmyk tea” have been updated. The quantitative characteristics of the optimal ratio of yellow dock sample and added water (hydromodulus 1:50); the volume of the resulting decoction (31.0 ± 1.73 ml / g of YD); the optimal ratio of decoction: cow milk (2: 1) and decoction: goat milk (3: 1) have been determined experimentally; a basic recipe for the Kalmyk Tea based on yellow dock and goat milk has been developed. Significant differences in the structural features and the level of content of individual fractions of protein and milk fat, as well as higher concentrations of biologically important oligosaccharides have been revealed using comparative analysis of the nutrient spectrum of cow and goat milk. The nutritional value and sensory properties of finished drinks with different types of milk have been studied.

The conclusion. Adding goat milk to the yellow dock decoction increases the functional potential of the Kalmyk Tea without changing the hedonistic perception of the sensory properties of the drink. 

Introduction. Improving the efficiency of grain legume production is an important link in solving the problem of import substitution in various areas of the Russian agro-industrial complex.

The goal of the research is to develop scientifically based methods for cultivating promising soybean varieties and improve the components of the adaptive technology for its cultivation in the foothill zone of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

The objects and methods of research. Experimental studies have been conducted in the foothill zone of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, which is characterized as a forest-steppe with a moderately humid climate. The soil cover of the experimental plot was represented by leached chernozem with a humus content range of 4.5...6.0%; pHsol reaction of the environment 5.9...6.3; concentration of easily hydrolyzed nitrogen of 80 mg/kg, mobile phosphorus - 90 mg/kg, exchangeable potassium - 150 mg/kg. The object of the research was the early maturing “Bars” and “Irbis” soybean varieties, as well as various microelements and plant growth regulators. Classical methods of organizing experiments, conducting phenological observations and statistical processing of the obtained information have been used in the research.

The Results and discussion. It was found that soybean agrocenoses in the variant with the use of the phytohormonal growth stimulator “fon + epin” was distinguished by the maximum protein productivity. The advantage over the control crops of the Bars variety reached 2.05...3.40 t/ha or 22.7...43.3%, while for the Irbis variety it iwas 2.10...2.91 t/ha or 31.4...38.3%. The effect of the growth stimulator Epin alone was, on average, 1.58 t/ha or 18.5% in the Bars variety crops and 1.80 t/ha or 25.1% in the Irbis variety crops over 3 years of research. Among the studied soybean varieties in the ecological conditions of the region, the Bars variety showed a significant advantage in terms of productivity, with a seed yield of 1.80...2.46 t/ha, which was 0.11...0.19 t/ha or 4.7...10.3% more than the Irbis variety.

The Conclusion. The most productive agrocenoses, in terms of bioenergetic efficiency, are soybean crops with pre-sowing seed inoculation with an active strain of rhizobia together with the use of molybdenum and manganese microelements, as well as Epin phytohormonal growth stimulator. 

Introduction. Intensive technology should be used in the production of sweet corn, since it is a vegetable crop and is much more demanding than ordinary corn. Modern cultivation of sweet corn requires compliance with a number of conditions associated with its biological characteristics, these are mainly the requirements of plants for heat, moisture, the level of nutrient content in the soil, etc.

The goal of the research. One of the important techniques in the development of cultivation technology for this crop is the selection of highly productive varieties suitable for cultivation in a particular area.

The objects and methods of the research. In our experiments, elite seeds approved for cultivation in the central part of the North Caucasus were used. Sweet corn hybrids were virtually identical in their growing season. Growing conditions have different effects on the growth and development of sweet corn plants.

The results and discussion. Germination and survival rates of three sweet corn hybrids: Caramello, Trophy, and Noah have been analyzed. At a seeding rate of 65 thousand viable seeds per hectare, Caramello has shown the best germination results, showing 62.5 thousand plants, which slightly exceeds the norm. Trophy and Noah also have demonstrated good germination at 61 thousand plants. The research, aimed at studying the effect of biopreparations on the growth, development of individual plant organs, and yield of sweet corn, has shown that one of the important factors affecting yield is the plant density, which determines the optimal nutritional area for each plant.

The conclusion. Our observations of seedling density and the number of plants at harvest have shown that biopreparations have a positive effect on plant survival.
