The research is devoted to the identification and investigation of the chemical composition of the minor components of distillation refining cuts of sunflower oils obtained by large Russian oil refineries. Minor components of the nonsaponifying fraction have been identified, among which the nitrogen containing substances, hydrocarbons and oxidation products are found. These components have varying degrees of volatility, cause a dark color of the distillates and have a negative effect on the efficiency of the processes of dividing the distillate cuts into constituent components. On the basis of the analysis of the results obtained, it’s been concluded that for effective processing of distillation cuts in order to obtain purified fatty acids and concentrates of valuable substances of the nonsaponifiable fraction, a process of preliminary removal of undesirable minor components should be carried out.

The analysis of quantitative and qualitative composition of phytosterols and tocopherols in samples of distillation cuts of sunflower oils obtained as secondary products of physical refining has been carried out. It has been found that the tocopherols and phytosterols contained in distillation cuts of sunflower oils corresponded to their analogues that are contained in the feedstock. The levels of tocopherols and phytosterols correspond to the data presented in the foreign literature and allow us to consider domestic distillation cuts as a promising raw material for the production of phytosterols and tocopherol concentrates.

Processing of food products by ionizing radiation that has been used for more than 20 years in various countries, has been legally permitted in Russia since 2017. Investigations of domestic and foreign scientists have proved the suitability of this treatment method for the purpose of sterilizing various types of products.

The indicators of a trading company's activity in kind and in money terms mainly depend on the types and volumes of purchase and sale of goods purchased from suppliers and consumers. However, the decision of a problem of a rational choice from a number of organizations experience considerable computing expenses and human resources, and also absence of initial data and this problem has no solution in real time. The article suggests such a solution, which is very economical in terms of the costs of various types of resources based on the application of information theory, cognitive technologies and management theory

There are a large number of different indicators (particular criteria) of the life quality and various ways of their aggregation in an integral criterion. There are also a large number of different standards of quality of life at various levels: from urban to national and international. However, in all these standards, the availability of indicators characterizing the quality of the natural environment is general, i.e. environmental factors. The problem is that both quality of life indicators and environmental factors are described in different types of scales (nominal, ordinal and numerical) and in different units of measurement, and how to process them in one model is not clear. Traditionally, only numeric indicators are used which, for processing, are normalized in relative units relative to the range of variation of the quantity and aggregated as average geometric indicators or simply average ones. According to the authors, both the first and the second are incorrect, because they neutralize the effect of various environmental factors on the quality of life, which leads to a loss of information on the strength and sign of the influence of environmental factors on the resulting indicators that characterize the quality of life. To solve this problem it is proposed: 1) not to discard the indicators measured in nominal and ordinal scales, but to increase their degree of formalization to numerical ones and then process them together with numeric ones, this provides the possibility of sharing different types of scales in one model; 2) to ensure the comparability of the processing of indicators measured in different units of measurement by the fact that they are all transformed into one unit of measure: the unit of information; 3) to use as an integral criterion not the average one, but the amount of information in the values of environmental factors about the values of indicators that characterize the quality of life. However, this approach has not been considered in the literature. The article is aimed at completing this gap.

Multiindustry corporations represent the amalgamation of a large number of business entities of various legal forms (legal entities and individuals) in order to more effectively conduct a common business. At the same time, economic entities that are parts of the corporation retain their independence, but coordinate their activities with one another in order to obtain a systemic (synergistic) effect. This means that a corporation is a super complex nonlinear system. At present, the problem of modeling such systems has not been solved in the theory of automatic and automated control and in multivariate analysis. Therefore, management of such management objects is carried out on the basis of intuition, experience and professional competence of top managers, especially a head of a corporation. At the same time, today artificial intelligence technologies can be used to enhance the capabilities of top managers. In the scientific literature the question of the use of intellectual systems, in particular cognitive technologies (cognitivistics) for the management of corporations has not been practically covered. The article is aimed to complete this gap.
