Obtaining marmalade using melon crops

The use of melon processing in food production attracts the close attention of scientists and the public. This article presents the technology of production and formulation of marmalades using melon processing products on various jelling agents. Marmalades were made using agar-agar, pectin and gelatin in order to determine the most suitable jelly-forming agent for the production of marmalades from the product of processing melons. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that it is possible to get marmalade with all jelling agents. Based on the physico-chemical, organoleptic characteristics of finished products, it was determined that the most appropriate is the use of gelatin because it has good gelling abilities and low cost. The technology of making marmalade products using watermelon processing products has been developed. The improvement of taste and consistency was revealed due to ultrasonic processing of vegetable raw materials on a homogenizer. The acidity indicators of the produced marmalades are in the range from 7.5° to 8.9° T, which corresponds to the norm. It is also noticed that the moisture content of marmalade on pectin is slightly higher compared to other samples. Based on the data of available formulations, the dosage of studneobrazovatel varied from 6 to 8%. Based on the data obtained, a conclusion is made about the possibility of using the selected raw materials in the production of marmalade on gelatin as a jelly-forming agent.
