Effect of environment and variety on the physicochemical properties of Tartary buckwheat starch.

Starch is a major nutrient in the human diet and has been widely used as an ingredient in many food and non-food applications. However, the research on the quality characteristics of Tartary buckwheat is lagging behind, and there is a lack of high-quality special varieties, which makes it difficult to become a popular food. The physicochemical properties of Tartary buckwheat starch may be affected by different environments and varieties, and the stability of planted varieties in different regions is also an important issue in current research. The average amylose content and pasting properties of Dingxi Tartary buckwheat were lower, while the solubility, transparency, relative crystallinity and gelatinization enthalpy were higher compared with the other two regions, and there were significant differences between different varieties. All samples showed typical A-type structure, and the starch short-range order structure changed slightly. Amylose content, solubility, transparency, granule size distribution, pasting properties and thermal properties were significantly affected by environment and variety. When choosing high-quality special varieties and products for processing, it contributes to select different buckwheat varieties and planting areas based on various objectives by understanding the effects of environment and varieties on the physicochemical properties of Tartary buckwheat starch. In this study, the four varieties planted in Dingxi and the two varieties in Zhaojue were easy to digest, and the differences of pasting properties and thermal properties are helpful to improve the application of Tartary buckwheat starch in the food industry. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

The effect of functional bars on the biochemical parameters of blood during physical exertion

Currently, the fast pace of life, changes in consumers’ habits, and the trend toward a healthy lifestyle around the world create the need for new healthy foods for immediate consumption. In this regard, the production of snacks with high nutritional value, as well as giving them functional properties through the use of various types of raw materials, seems promising. The choice of components following the physiological needs of various population groups in snack production allows getting new specialized food products, which improves people's quality of life and health. The most promising is the production of functional snack bars by combining vegetable and dairy raw materials. It is promising to use mare’s milk as a dairy raw material. The clinical efficacy of the new fruit-protein bars based on mare’s milk (FBBs) was tested on 25 volunteers aged 25-35 years for 60 days. The control group consisted of 15 people who received two KDV fruit and nut bars for 60 days, the nutritional and energy value of which was comparable to the snacks studied. Before and after taking snacks, blood biochemical and immunological parameters were evaluated. The results indicate a positive effect of new snacks based on mare’s milk on performance indicators, the state of cellular immunity, blood parameters, biochemical parameters, and antioxidant status. There is a decrease in fat mass, intracellular and extracellular fluid levels, and a reducing the number of final and intermediate lipid peroxidation products. The blood level of haemoglobin, erythrocytes, platelets, hematocrit, and all classes of immunoglobulins increased. Specialized functional protein bars, enriched with dry mare’s milk, can be recommended to various categories of the population experiencing intensive physical activity and psychoemotional stress to increase their adaptive capabilities and performance.

Special low protein foods for phenylketonuria in Turkey: An examination of their nutritional composition compared to regular food.

Background: Special low protein foods (SLPF) that are phenylalanine (Phe)-free or have a low Phe content are an integral part of PKU diet therapy. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the nutritional profiles of SLPFs used in Turkey and to compare their contents with equivalent products in the "regular" category, in order to evaluate nutritional and metabolic risks. Methods: Between February and March 2022, the information concerning the nutritional contents of "special low protein products" recommended for PKU and available in Turkey were obtained from the websites of producers/suppliers. Results: A total of 148 SLPFs were identified in Turkey. Compared to regular products, SLPFs were determined to contain less sugar and high carbohydrate content in the Turkish market (p < 0.001). Overall, SLPF products had higher dietary fiber compared to products with regular protein content (p < 0.001). In SLPF subgroups, meat substitutes, rice and pasta, and soup products had significantly less total fat than regular products; low protein bread, sweet snacks, and salted crackers were found to contain less saturated fat (p < 0.05). Moreover, all SLPFs contained significantly more salt than regular products, especially the salt content of subgroups of low protein bread, flour, pasta, and rice was significantly higher than regular products (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Including detailed nutritional information on the Turkish SLPFs' food labels will be effective for patients with PKU to follow themselves on their own.

SPECIFICS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS IN THE STATE

The article is devoted to analysis of the specifics of innovative development of socio-economic systems in the state. The authors prove that the innovative behavior of socio-economic systems is diverse. Violent products have a high quality associated with a high level of standardization, unification and manufacturability and low prices typical of mass production. Many violents are multinational companies which create an oligopolistic market. Patents seek to avoid direct competition with leading corporations. In specialized production, the stock of competitiveness of the product arises mainly due to the high consumer value of the product. The patent has to pinpoint and enforce it. Small enterprises actively promote new products and technologies, massively creating new services on their basis. This accelerates the process of diffusion of innovations. Medium and small businesses focused on meeting local and national needs are engaged in commutator enterprises (connectors). An expletive (pioneer) strategy is associated with the creation of new or with the radical transformation of old market segments. Each of the types of companies (violents, commutants, patents and explerents) has its own characteristics and different degree of implementation of the strategy for achieving the competitiveness of the products.

Разработка технологии специализированной снековой продукции с белковым концентратом семян подсолнечника

The possibility of using protein concentrate of sunflower seeds in the technology of specialized snacks (bars) is considered. The powder of sunflower seed protein concentrate, cocoa powder, and snack product (bar) with sunflower seed protein concentrate were chosen as objects of research. The main quality indicators of sunflower seed protein concentrate, and snack products were studied. Organoleptic analysis and content of moisture and dry matter according to GOST 31986 and GOST 5900 as well as indicators of water-holding and fat-holding capacity of protein concentrate were determined. Biological value of the finished product was determined by calculation method. Water activity was determined using a dielectric moisture sensor. Organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value of sunflower seed protein concentrate were determined. In addition to the high content of vegetable protein sunflower seed concentrate contains a significant amount of oxycinnamic acids (9.56 mg/g), which allows us to consider it as a source of phenolic compounds. Dates, cocoa powder, almonds, coconut milk, and oil were selected as the formulation components of the bar. The amount of protein concentrate in the formulation was determined taking into account its moisture- and fat-holding capacity. It was found that the introduction of 20% of concentrate in the recipe from the weight of the finished product had a positive effect on the quality and nutritional value of finished products. The technology of specialized snack has been developed. Experimental bars have high organoleptic properties: they keep their shape well, have a pleasant chocolate taste with a slight flavor of sunflower seeds. Finished products contain 20 % protein. Consumption of one bar (100 g) per day satisfies the daily requirement of oxycinnamic acids by 104%, copper by 60.0%, vitamin B1 by 46.7%, and vitamin E by 52.7%. Snack bars with sunflower seed protein concentrate can be recommended for use in the diet of both professional athletes and people leading an active lifestyle. Studies have shown that technological properties of sunflower seed protein concentrate powder in combination with its high nutritional value provide multivariant use of this additive in specialized food products. The result of the work was a set of technical and technological documentation (TU, TI) for the specialized product.

The degree sequence on tensor and cartesian products of graphs and their omega index

&lt;abstract&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aim of this paper is to illustrate how degree sequences may successfully be used over some graph products. Moreover, by taking into account the degree sequence, we will expose some new distinguishing results on special graph products. We will first consider the degree sequences of tensor and cartesian products of graphs and will obtain the omega invariant of them. After that we will conclude that the set of graphs forms an abelian semigroup in the case of tensor product whereas this same set is actually an abelian monoid in the case of cartesian product. As a consequence of these two operations, we also give a result on distributive law which would be important for future studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/abstract&gt;

Сравнительная оценка цифровизации индустриальных регионов РФ.

Technological and organisational opportunities provided by digitalisation to the society and economy can help improve the efficiency of industry and advance the development of industrial regions. The study aims to assess the digitalisation level and rate of industrial regions in comparison with the av-erage Russian level. For this purpose, structural and dynamic analysis, as well as the method of grouping of various indicators from the official Russian statistics in the field of ICT were applied. It was hypothe-sised and confirmed that digital technologies are used more intensively in industrial regions. In terms of the use of basic information technologies, the values are higher by 1-7 %. Organisations in industrial re-gions are 3 % more likely to use global networks to interact with counterparts. There are also more en-terprises (by 4 %) that have implemented automated data exchange with partners. Industrial regions have been using special design, production management and product lifecycle software 15 % more often since 2018. However, a hypothesis of a larger-scale implementation of advanced digital technologies in indus-trial regions has not been unequivocally confirmed. The values are higher only for indicators of the use of industrial robots (by 25 %), artificial intelligence technologies (by 12.4 %), digital platforms (by 3.4 %), geo-information systems (by 4.7 %), the Internet of Things (by 4.3 %). The findings can be used to develop digi-talisation strategies at the regional and federal levels. Variability of the regulatory framework for collecting statistics and underdeveloped terminology in the field of digital technologies can be considered as limita-tions to the application of the results. Further research may focus on building econometric and other models for implementing digitalisation in regions.

Specialized food products of increased biological value on a fish basis

According to the Strategy for Improving the Quality of Food Products in the Russian Federation until 2030, the priority area is the development of modern technologies for the production of food ingredients and food processing technologies, including biotechnologies to create conditions for the production of new generation food products with specified quality characteristics and promote the principles of healthy nutrition. Thus research in the field of creation, design of technologies and formulations of functional, enriched, specialized fish-based food products are developing. A special place is occupied by products for the nutrition of athletes, the diet and balance of which are determined by the rhythm of the training process. It is proposed to use fish pastes of increased biological value for nutrition of athletes. The main component of such products can be both aquatic biological resources and aquaculture objects. The possibility of expanding the assortment line of fish culinary products is considered. To increase the biological value of the pastes addition of Jerusalem artichoke is justified. The organoleptic and physico-chemical indicators of the quality of the resulting pastes were studied, which showed the possibility of including a phosphorus-calcium food supplement and Jerusalem artichoke in their recipe.

О выборе областей с доминирующим типом зависимости при анализе данных производственного контроля

The formation of representative databases determines the interest in forecasting and managing the quality of metal based on data mining using special software products often based on regression analysis and not always taking into account the statistical nature of an object of study itself. This can lead to misinterpretation of the results or incomplete extracted information reducing the efficiency of statistical processing. Based on the analysis of the production database of the technology for producing 13G1S-U sheet steel, the authors evaluated the possibilities of multiple linear regression for predicting the quality of a steel sheet. The study shows that the type of distribution of the values of control parameters, the distribution nature of which was estimated based on the determination of the skewness and kurtosis coefficients, limits the regression forecast depth. Due to the great deviation of the predicted models from the experimental values in the right tail area of the distribution of the impact strength values, in this work, the authors developed the methods for separating data arrays and proposed criteria to compare the obtained results. To assess the accuracy of the results obtained, arrays with a deliberately asymmetric distribution were selected from the initial sample, against which the statistical characteristics were also compared. Based on the proposed techniques, the authors identified the dominant chemical elements that contribute to the difference in the distribution of the values of acceptance properties existing within the same standard technology. The study shows that the proposed separation method can be used as a variation of cognitive graphics techniques to identify areas with a dependence dominant type based on the correlation of skewness and kurtosis coefficients.

Market competition determinants of consumer behavior

The purpose of this work is the analysis of consumer behavior, as well as the analysis of economic, social, cultural, and psychological influences on consumers when choosing and purchasing special products. According to Schiffman and Kanuk (2009), consumer behavior is the behavior that consumers manifest during the search, purchase, use, evaluation, and disposal of products and services that they expect to satisfy their needs, and the purchase includes a psychological process according to which consumers who have identified their needs, collect information, and find the way how to fulfill their needs and desires (Kurtz &amp; Boone, 2009). During the research, comparative economic analysis methods and statistical methods will be used. As an instrument, the multifactor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) was used as a psychometric method (Bass &amp; Avolio, 2000), and with the psychographic analysis that measures the lifestyle. The results of the research will be very useful because they will help further research on this issue. As many times as research on this topic are done, we will see that the results are different because consumer behavior is very complex and changing, therefore continuous study is required, which will always include all the changes that are made in the environment.

Efficacy of Trichoderma Harzianum and Bacillus Subtilis as Seed and Vegetation Application Combined with Integrated Agroecology Measures on Maize

In the context of sustainable practices and European strategy to reduce the chemical inputs in agricultural conventional systems, on field crops there are approached agroecological practices that targets the performance growing through effective measures that adjust the biodiversity of agroecosystems. The study presents the results of a field experience developed in a farmer participative approach on two years (2021, 2022). In his farm - from Buești, Ialomița, România - were established 30 multifactorial testing varieties composed from treatment with a special product for maize crop (BioZeaFert: BF) from Bacillus subtilis ICCF 84: 25%; Bacillus subtilis 284: 25%; Trichoderma harzianum ICCF 179: 50%. The treatments have been applied on seeds (Untreated, BF 10%, BF 20%, BF 30%, CuSO4 10%) and on vegetation period (Untreated, BF 75g/ha, BF 112.5 g/ha, BF 225 g/ha, CuSO4 300g/ha) for 3 maize hybrids (Iezer, Felix, F 423). Also has been integrated in his crop technology cover crops and the using of organic agriculture inputs. The application of the product and agroecological measures had positive effects regarding the protection against pest Tanymecus dilaticollis. The damage degree was 16-19% in the untreated maize, while for the treated maize it was between 6-11%, the lowest values were observed for BF 30% on Iezer hybrid. The biostimulator had positive effects on plant growth and therefore on yield. The treatments or the type of hybrids did not influenced the weeding degree.

Determinants of Consumer Attitudes Toward Prosocial Products: A Focus on the Communication of Love (vs. Pride, Hope, and Compassion) Within Advertisements

Marketers often use appeals that emphasize the responsibility and the consequences of consumer decisions to help persons, animals, and nature in need, or they use appeals that evoke the predominantly negative emotion of compassion. We focus on another type of appeal that marketers might use: the promise of experiencing positive emotions. We use broaden-and-built theory to conclude that the promise of experiencing positive emotions when helping others increases consumers’ willingness to engage in prosocial behavior. We use emotional-appraisal theory to conclude that the promise of experiencing love is more effective than the promise of experiencing pride or hope. Our research is innovative in that we tested the promise of positive emotions. This kind of message can be used in an advertising environment. We created print advertisements of companies promoting products that promised the experience of love, pride, or hope and ad versions that included an appeal for compassion (supplemented with an emotion-absent condition). The ads promoted fair-trade products aimed at helping farmers in need, products that help endangered animal species, and products that addressed nature as a whole in need. We mostly found support for our hypotheses. However, the promise of experiencing love by taking care of nature by purchasing special products was not effective.

ЭЛЕКТРОМЕХАНИЧЕСКИЙ ВИБРАЦИОННЫЙ ПРЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬ С ЗАМКНУТЫМ СПИРАЛЬНЫМ ВТОРИЧНЫМ ЭЛЕМЕНТОМ И УЛУЧШЕННЫМИ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКАМИ

Relevance The development of new designs of electromechanical vibration transducers (EMVT) is an urgent task and is caused by the need to create devices that meet to one degree or another many, often contradictory requirements for accuracy and measurement limits, frequency range, sensitivity, overall dimensions, weight, cost, performance characteristics, etc. An important prerequisite for solving the set tasks is the study and development of new promising structural elements of electromechanical converters, materials, components, special production processes. The rapid development of science and technology causes a great variety and complexity of automatic control systems. Invariant, self-adjusting and other complex information-measuring and control systems are created, to which increased requirements are imposed. The modern development of automated monitoring and control systems for various technological and physical processes is characterized by the widespread use of primary means of collecting and processing information. At the same time, electromechanical vibration transducers EMVPsensors of vibration parameters are a link in any information-visual or control system and practically determine its metrological characteristics. Losses in the accuracy and reliability of the final result associated with unsuccessful use of the sensor cannot be restored by the most advanced information conversion system. The range of industrially produced vibration sensors is limited, and their effective operation and evaluation of experimental results is very difficult. The lack of clear recommendations for choosing one type of sensor or another, sound methods of engineering calculations and experimental studies, and analysis of limiting operational and technological capabilities has led to the fact that many types and designs of sensors turned out to be unviable. A large number of publications related to the design of new designs of vibration sensors for various purposes and the improvement of already known ones allows us to judge the continued interest of developers in this class of devices, especially with the development of technical robots and flexible modules. The lack of fundamental theory and engineering methods for calculating the static characteristics of electric motors in the mode of both a sensor and a motor with a spiral electrically conductive element limits the possibility of their rational design for information-measuring and control systems. Therefore, the tasks of researching and creating highly efficient EMVPs with a spiral secondary element that most fully satisfy the special requirements of control systems are relevant. Aim of research To investigate a vibration transducer (EMVT) with a closed spiral secondary element in the mode of generating low-frequency vibrations and improving mechanical data due to the execution of longitudinal slits with a bevel in a spiral electrically conductive spring. Research methods Literary review and patent study, methods of mathematical modeling and experimental studies of vibration oscillations. Results For the first time, a method and methodology have been developed for the design of electromechanical vibration converters with a spiral secondary element with theoretical and experimental confirmation of the main obtained positions. A full-scale sample with theoretical provisions was developed, a patent of the Russian Federation was obtained, the possibility of using a structural solution in household devices (tablets, laptops, electronic watches, nanorabototechnics, vascular medicine and cardiology, information transmission as GPS u GSM elements, etc.) was shown.
