Abstract

Currently, a wide range of fruits brought from various countries of the world are presented in markets and retail chains. Most often on the shelves we can see bananas, oranges, peaches, apricots, pineapples. Also, so-called "exotic fruits" have become available to buyers. All fruits that do not grow in the climatic zone of our country are conventionally considered exotic. But now many of them are supplied to us regularly as the season progresses, and some of them are delivered all year round. Russia's trade relations with foreign countries are built according to certain principles and legal norms, which are regulated by the rules of the World Trade Organization and the requirements of international trade agreements. In the Russian Federation, there are many problems related to the import of exotic fruits. First of all, they are associated with the lack of regulatory documents and standards for these products, and the rules for veterinary and sanitary examination for exotic products of plant origin have not been developed either. GOSTs in the Russian Federation are only for certain types of fruits, which means that there is no full guarantee of the quality and safety of other exotic fruits. Export of exotic fruits to Russia is also difficult due to long delivery times. Most of these products are perishable, therefore, they are allowed for transportation only unripe. This article is devoted to the veterinary and sanitary examination of exotic fruits and vegetables in the food market in N. Novgorod to identify their quality and possible biological and toxic hazard for consumers. Organoleptic qualities were determined, luminescent analysis, analysis for nitrates, research for ripeness and sugar content were carried out.
