Abstract
The difficulty in solving a multicomponent formulation problem is that five or more ingredients are currently used in product design. Solving a system of linear equations and inequalities with such a large number of variables manually presents significant difficulties, in which formulation errors are not excluded. In the work the methodology of computer modelling of multicomponent meat products is presented, which is realized on an example of technology of minced meat production. The aim of the research is to design the mathematical model of minced meat with the addition of new protein-carbohydrate compositions (PCC). The objects of research are minced meat, PCC, which includes chickpea flour, whey protein concentrate, ground soy and water for hydration. Implementation of the design method was carried out with the software system Microsoft Excel with the "Solution Finder" add-on. Work with the Excel spreadsheet processor is based on entering the data required for calculation, calculation formulas into the corresponding cells of the spreadsheet. The article presents the results of the study of the nutrient composition of minced meat with the addition of the new PCC. By means of mathematical modelling, the formulation of minced meat with PCC was optimized. Nutritional and energy value, vitamin, mineral and amino acid content of the obtained minced meat were determined. A targeted combination of ingredients made it possible to obtain food products with a given composition and properties.
