Changes in Cooking Characteristics, Structural Properties and Bioactive Components of Wheat Flour Noodles Partially Substituted with Whole-Grain Hulled Tartary Buckwheat Flour

The whole-grain, hulled Tartary buckwheat flour (HTBF) with outstanding bioactive functions was prepared, and the effects of partial substitution ratios (0, 30%, 51% and 70%) of wheat flour with HTBF on the characteristics of TB noodles (TBNs) were investigated, mainly including the cooking characteristics, sensory analysis, internal structure, bioactive components, and in vitro starch digestibility. With an increasing replacement level of HTBF, the water absorption index of the noodles decreased, whereas the cooking loss increased. A sensory analysis indicated that there were no off-flavors in all TBN samples. The scanning electron microscope images presented that the wheat noodles, 30% TBNs and 70% TBNs had dense and uniform cross sections. Meanwhile, the deepest color, V-type complexes, and lowest crystallinity (13.26%) could be observed in the 70% TBNs. A HTBF substitution increased the rutin content and the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the TBNs, and higher values were found in the 70% TBNs. Furthermore, the lowest rapidly digestible starch content (16%) and highest resistant starch content (66%) were obtained in the 70% TBNs. Results demonstrated that HTBF could be successfully applied to make TBNs, and a 70% substitution level was suggested. This study provides consumers with a good option in the realm of special noodle-type products.

Can straw recycling achieve sustainable agriculture at the smallholder level? A case in a semi-arid region

Diversified straw recycling practices are essential to achieve sustainable agriculture at the smallholder level. This study comprehensively evaluated the sustainability of two straw recycling models, agro-pastoral-biogas (CCBS) and carbonization (CBBS). The findings demonstrated that the economic indicators (such as spring maize yield and net economic benefits) accounted for a larger proportion of the total score in the CCBS model, indicating that the model is more sustainable for promoting smallholder economic income, while the CBBS model performed even better in carbon sequestration and emission reductions. These results were attributed to the more notable increase in spring maize productivity and the addition of two production units, fattening and biogas digester. However, the sustainability of the CCBS model declined as the straw recycling chain lengthened; the CBBS model had the highest sustainability index. Specifically, maize grain yield and SOC storage increased by 3.86%–11.7% and 11.66%–36.07%, respectively, and soil GHG emissions increased by 20.57% and decreased by 59.9%, respectively, for both models. Despite the substantial economic or environmental benefits, neither model can achieve the win-win goal of sustainability. We conservatively recommend the CCBS model and suggest more specialized smallholder production, but call for more interventions to optimize the CCBS model, as it encompasses multiple development objectives, such as combining planting and breeding, energy substitution, and carbon sequestration-emission reduction, which is more in line with the aspirations of smallholders and other groups.

Introduction. In recent years, a high resistance of H. pylori infection to antibiotics has been recorded both worldwide and in the Russian Federation. This was the basis for introducing diets that increase the sensitivity of H. pylori to antibiotics into eradication schemes.Aim. To evaluate the effect of specialized therapeutic nutrition products LEOVIT GASTRO on the eradication of H. pylori.Materials and methods. Two study groups were formed: the main group – 22 patients and the control group – 20 patients. The groups were randomized from 42 patients suffering from chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori, by random sampling. To assess the tolerability of treatment, in particular, biochemical blood tests were studied.Results. Therapeutic nutrition provides a significant eradication effect against the background of antibiotic therapy. In 92% of patients, a complete absence of H. pylori contamination was detected, and in 8% of patients the degree of contamination was very weak, although initially it was pronounced, while in the control group, a complete absence of H. pylori contamination was detected in 80% of patients. Analysis of the use of specialized food products indicates the possibility of their use in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract associated with H. pylori, as they promote epithelization, healing of the mucosa, reduction and elimination of inflammation, pain, and discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract.Conclusion. Therapeutic dietary nutrition LEOVIT GASTRO is one of the important factors positively influencing the success rate of eradication treatment.

Students’ common errors in quadratic equations: Towards improved mathematics performance

With the aim to close the performance gap between the high performing and the low performing students, this descriptive qualitative study was conducted to analyze students’ common and persisting errors in quadratic equations. Forty-six (N=46) Grade 9 students in a public high school in the Philippines participated in the study. Homework was given where students received instructions from video recordings and other online learning materials using blended learning. The common errors students committed were not following directions, mishandling signs, difficulty in recognizing a quadratic equation, inability to distinguish between solving a quadratic equation and simplifying an algebraic expression, failure to express quadratic equations in standard form, disregarding the negative roots, computational errors in basic algebraic conventions in simplifying radical and rational expressions, factoring, performing special products, and in completing the square. Students were interviewed to validate the error analysis. Immediate feedback through a whole class discussion was conducted the following day to discuss the errors and mistakes committed by students in order to address these and help them learn the necessary concepts and skills in quadratic equations. Instructional strategies and interventions for teaching quadratic equations are recommended for future studies.

Rationale for the use of quail meat in the production of food products for special purposes

As a result of scientific research carried out on the materials and technical base of KubSAU named after. I.T. Trubilin and MSTU technological parameters and biological value of quail meat has been studied. Texas broiler quails, which were raised on a farm in the Krasnodar Territory, were slaughtered. The rationale for the use of Texas broiler quail meat in the technology of special-purpose meat products has been given. Studies of technological properties showed that the slaughter yield of an uneviscerated carcass is on average 85%. The yield of boneless meat was assessed in two ways: after gutting and after blanching the carcass, which showed that the yield of boneless meat after blanching was higher by 16.87 g, which was explained by a more thorough separation of muscle tissue from the bones. The results provided the basis for the use of blanching of whole carcasses in the production technology of special products based on quail meat. The recipe composition of meat cream based on quail meat and offal was modeled. Experimental batches were developed, followed by a tasting assessment and calculation of nutritional value, which showed high results, which justified the use of Texas broiler quail meat for the production of products for both general and special purposes.

Actual problems of production of functional and specialized food products in the food industry

The Russian Federation includes 89 regions in which, in accordance with climate and environmental factors, the predisposition of the population to various types of diseases is revealed. A measure to prevent these diseases is the development of biologically active additives, functional and specialized food products. The problem of morbidity of one of the regions of the Russian Federation was studied. This was based on the example of the population of the Orel region where the greatest increase in diseases of the digestive system was detected. The legislative framework of the Russian Federation allows for the production of functional products, but the lack of economic incentives for food industry enterprises and trade organizations does not contribute to the promotion of existing developments and formulations of such products in the consumer market. It is proposed at regional level to reduce the tax rate on functional food products and reduce selling prices. It is recommended to the enterprises of the food and processing industry to enrich food products with biologically active additives. To create scientific and technological centers with the involvement of health authorities, food and processing industry and trade enterprises to develop functional and specialized food products and bring them to consumers.

Современные тенденции экономического развития прокатных производств черной металлургии

The aim of the work is to determine the directions for further economic development of the Russian metallurgical industry, and rolling production in particular. In the article, based on the current existing state of rolling production, a classification of rolling mills is proposed into the following categories: by rolling temperatures, by the direction of metal movement, by cross-sectional size of rolled profile, by number and location of mills. Based on deductive methods of analysis, the main trends in the development of rolling production are considered: rolling precision, automation, robotization of auxiliary operations, digitalization. The obvious advantages of each trend, possible disadvantages and difficulties during implementation are shown. Based on statistical data, a forecast is made for the development of rolling production in the coming years. The production volumes of special products using rolling method are extremely small, as is the production of large-sized I-beams and shaped profiles, which are mostly produced in welded form, taking into account the small volume of consumption. The leading role, according to production volumes, is played by sheet and small-section products, which are the most universal. Significant changes are taking place in the Russian economy, which may affect both the construction and energy industries. In 2022 the production of seamless pipes increased in contrast to the previous eight years. A number of large-scale projects are expected to be launched for the fullscale development of Siberia and the Far East, the restoration of the economies of regions where construction and transportation will be required, including railways and pipelines. This means that this will fully affect the development of the metallurgical industry to obtain mass production profiles and to create further infrastructure in these regions. It has been determined that, with further large-scale development of the economy and volumes of consumption of mass profiles for their production, it is possible to build specialized mills, as is happening in the PRC with the maximum level of automation and productivity, which is currently inherent in single sheet rolling mills in Russia. Otherwise, on the contrary, it is necessary to carry out technical re-equipment and reconstruction of existing production facilities in order to expand the range, for their maneuverability in an economically unstable situation and to avoid long-term downtime of mills.

Эвакуация Ленинградского монетного двора в Краснокамск

The evacuation of the Leningrad Mint to Krasnokamsk during the Great Patriotic War remains a relatively little-studied episode in the history of the enterprises’ evacuation to the Molotov Region. This is due both to the relatively recent declassification of the enterprise documentation and to the weak interest of researchers in this issue. The work of the Krasnokamsk Museum of Local Lore with documents from Perm and St. Petersburg archives allows us to conclude that the evacuation of the Leningrad Mint to the Urals and the organization of the awards production in Krasnokamsk were complex and difficult processes. The issuance of awards during the Great Patriotic War required the efforts of the enterprise's employees in conditions of a lack of production space, qualified labor, raw materials, and tools. One of the most important problems throughout the entire period of the enterprise operation in Krasnokamsk was the low qualifications of young workers, who often made mistakes in their work. Despite the difficult production conditions, the constantly growing plan, changes in technical parameters and the nomenclature of orders, the enterprise constantly increased labor productivity, became the winner of social competition, and introduced innovations – in particular, it switched to stamping complex awards. The result of the heroic work of the enterprise in Krasnokamsk was the production of more than 2.5 million finished orders and medals, more than 9 million semi-finished award products, more than 10 million copies of special products, as well as about 750 million coins of various denominations and 78 types of award products that appeared during the Great Patriotic War.
