Selecting ingredients of protein-carbohydrate gel formulation for athletes nutrition on the basis of curd whey concentrate obtained by nanofiltration
The need for using NF-concentrate in the production of sports products of carbohydrate-protein profile, popular in most sports, has been proved. The selection of ingredients of protein-carbohydrate gel formulation for athletes nutrition on the basis of NF-concentrate was performed. It has been found that it is advisable to use κ-carrageenan in an amount of 1% as a thickener and stabilizer, KSB-UF80 in an amount of 5% to 15% – as a source of animal proteins, syrups «Rosehip» and «Rosehip and black currant» in an amount of not more than 10 % – as a source of non-dairy carbohydrates and an ingredient to improve and enhance the taste of the product.
Production and characteristic of biologically active preparations from cattle bone meal
The problem of an ageing population is relevant for the whole world and for Russia in particular. The object of the research is cattle bone meal (CBM) proteoglycans. The methodology of the work included preparing a bone meal extract, a cluster silver solution, separating proteoglycans by electrophoresis, determining the uronic acids content in the investigated preparations by the carbazole method, defining the total polyanions content, chondroitinase activity. Then, high performance liquid chromatography for fractionating proteoglycans and MMT analysis were performed. It was determined that the bone meal extract preparation has biological activity. The investigated preparations, comparable in protein content, were tested for their ability to influence the survival of lymphocytes, healthy human B-cells. The preparation under study — CBM extract purified by using cluster silver — showed sensitivity to chondroitinase A, B, C, comparable to Theraflex and chemically homogeneous chondroitin, which gives ground to conclusion about the presence of chondroitin sulfates A, B, and C in the investigated preparation. The process of isolating biologically active components from CBM is described, which is characterized as chondroitin and heparan sulfates. The research results allowed obtaining biological preparations from meat production wastes that have biological activity and can be positioned as chondroprotectors similar to commercial preparations. In addition, the studies on cell culture have shown that extracts can replace animal blood serum, which is the most expensive cell culture reagent. The development and production of such preparations as the described CBM extract for scientific research would allow in the future to replace an expensive reagent with a much more economical domestic analogue, which has the prospect of being in demand.
Methodical aspects of determining cheese ripeness
The purpose of this work is to choose a method for cheese ripeness determination that meets the requirements of speed and reproduction in production testing laboratories without complex hardware design. The relevance of the work is dictated by the need to confirm the cheese ripeness degree in a way that is independent of the human senses, in case of controversial situations of the customs valuation of imported cheeses as well as in case of their sale in the trading network. The brief review presents currently known methods for cheese ripeness determination, which are based on the methods of organoleptic analysis and measurement of individual parameters of the chemical or physical cheese properties, which change when it ripens. They include the buffer capacity of cheese, the degree of proteolysis or lipolysis, the ability to fluoresce in ultraviolet rays and produce the sound on impact. The authors highlight the importance of organoleptic methods in assessing cheese ripeness, since all other methods, based on the measurement of one or another composition or property parameter, are guided by the results of organoleptic tests in determining the reference values of these parameters that correspond to the conditional cheese ripeness state. The method of cheese ripeness determination in relation to the mass fraction of water-soluble products of protein hydrolysis to the total mass fraction of protein by the Kjeldahl method requires clarifying and improvement. Techniques that allow evaluating the fractional composition of cheese proteins by using electrophoresis methods in polyacrylamide gel, gel filtration of high-resolution, gas-liquid chromatography, are more reasonable for scientific research, but not for the fastest control in routine analyzes. In the authors’ opinion, the method for cheese ripeness determination according to the buffer capacity (the Shilovich method) is the most suitable for the assigned tasks, but its use requires standardizing the procedure of taking measurements, considering the modern instrumentation of titrimetric analysis. For modern conditions, the Shilovich method can be improved by applying potentiometric titration to a preset pH value to determine the buffer capacity of cheese, which does not require the use of indicators and allows increasing the accuracy of measurements.

The yield of ‘Elizabeth’ potato variety depending on weather conditions and fertilizers
On soddy podzolic medium loamy soil of the Vologda region using
fertilizers in N20P20 dose while planting caused a reliable increase in potato yield of 5.4
t/hectare in comparison with control.The potato yield received when precisely calculated
doses of fertilizers were applied increased by 10.7-15.9 t/hectare (76-114%). Mineral
fertilizer system with the maximum dose of potash fertilizers and organic mineral system
differed insignificantly in their impact on the yield of tubers.Applying fertilizers both in
minimum and precisely calculated doses increased the productivity of by-products by
41-123% in comparison with control. Applying mineral doses of fertilizers reduced the
starch content in comparison with control by 0.1-0.2% in absolute value. Precisely
calculated systems of fertilizers increased the nitrates content in comparison with
applying fertilizers only while planting (N20P20) by 36-51%. The nitrates content in
potato tubers in applying precisely calculated systems of fertilizers was about 70-78% of
maximum allowable concentration. The yield of tubers and vegetable tops substantially
depended on weather and agrotechnical conditions, by 33 and 35% respectively, mostly
on fertilizers - by 60%.
