Comparative evaluation of the composition of rosehip extracts aimed at enhancing the nutritional value of food products
type: item
description: This article presents a comparative assessment of the qualitative and quantitative composition of extracts obtained from three species of rosehip (Rosa spp.) — Rosa acicularis, Rosa davurica, and Rosa rugosa — aimed at enhancing the functional and biological value of food products. The main objective of the study is to identify biologically active compounds in natural extracts of various rosehip species, determine their nutritional value, and substantiate the feasibility of their use in functional food formulations. During the study, physicochemical parameters of the extracts were determined (pH, density, solubility, total solids), as well as the content of vitamins (particularly vitamin C), mineral elements (iron, potassium, calcium, etc.), carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose), and organic acids (citric, malic, and tartaric acids). Extraction was carried out using two methods — maceration and ultrasonic treatment — and their efficiency was also comparatively analyzed. The results demonstrated that all three types of extracts are rich in biologically active compounds and possess natural antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and adaptogenic properties. According to the comparative analysis, the extract derived from Rosa acicularis showed the highest levels of vitamin C, carbohydrates, and iron, making it the most suitable option for food applications. This extract is recommended as a scientifically substantiated natural ingredient for use in functional food products, preventive formulations, and biologically active supplements (BAS). The findings of the study offer promising opportunities for increasing the efficiency of utilizing domestic plant raw materials in the food industry and contribute to the development of innovative solutions aimed at promoting healthy nutrition among the population.

Effect of apple pomace powders on the physicochemical characteristics and amino acid profile of cooked sausages
type: item
description: This study investigated the effects of incorporating apple pomace powder from 3 apple varieties (Aidared, Simirenko, and Golden Delicious) at two inclusion levels (3% and 5%) on the physicochemical properties and amino acid composition of cooked sausages. Results showed that apple pomace powders significantly influenced moisture, protein, fat, ash content, water holding capacity (WHC), water binding capacity (WBC), and fat retention capacity (FRC). Notably, 3% Golden Delicious apple pomace powder (CSG3) enhanced WHC and FHC most effectively, while 5% Simirenko apple pomace powder (CSS5) resulted in the highest protein content (41,3±0,58%). Apple pomace powder inclusion also increased the pH of sausages and positively affected the amino acid profile, with improvements in lysine, valine, phenylalanine, and alanine levels. The type and concentration of apple pomace powder influenced the enhancement of both nutritional and functional attributes. These findings suggest that apple pomace powder can be utilized as a functional ingredient in sausage formulations to improve nutritional quality and functional performance.

Development of a functional horse-meat roulade using plant-derived components
type: item
description: The aim of the study was to provide a scientific justification for the formulation and processing technology of a horsemeat roulade using plant-based functional ingredients – calamus rhizome, a humic–fulvic acid complex and pumpkin seed cake – and to evaluate their effects on the nutritional value, technological properties and sensory characteristics of the product. Within the framework of the study, control and experimental samples of horse-meat roulade were developed, for which the chemical composition, energy value, pH, TBA index, cooking loss, total viable count (TVC), amino acid profile and sensory attributes were determined. In the experimental roulade, the protein content decreased from 28,2% to 19,12%, and the fat content from 14,8% to 8,7%, while carbohydrates (5,6%) were detected, which reduced the energy value of the meat product from 246,0 to 177,2 kcal/100 g. A decrease in pH from 6,1 to 5,8 and in the TBA value from 0,45 to 0,31 mg MDA/kg was observed, and cooking loss was reduced from 32,8% to 17,01%. The TVC in the experimental roulade sample amounted to 7,2×102 CFU/g versus 8,1×102 CFU/g in the control sample, which was below the limit specified by the regulatory document (1×103 CFU/g). The amino acid score for key essential amino acids exceeded 130%, and the biological value of the meat product reached 139,86%. At the same time, the sensory scores for appearance, colour and taste of the experimental roulade were higher than those of the control sample.

Sustainable meat safety: electron beam treatment on the quality and safety indicators of poultry meat
type: item
description: Food safety has been a concern for consumers, especially when storing various types of meat. Non-thermal technology, in particular electron beam irradiation, can ensure the safety of poultry meat by inactivating food pathogens without significantly affecting its nutritional and organoleptic characteristics. Compared to other non thermal methods, electron beam irradiation is considered a new non-thermal technology for meat due to its low cost, lack of contamination, and antibacterial effect. However, this technology still has some limitations, such as lipid oxidation (LPOD), protein oxidation (PNOD), physicochemical changes, and organoleptic changes, which limit its application in various types of meat. The aim of this scientific study is to highlight new ideas for the application of electron beam irradiation in poultry meat storage. This article focuses on the application and mechanism of electron beam irradiation sterilisation, justifies the electron beam irradiation dose, and highlights areas for future research. In addition, particular attention is paid to optimising processing parameters to minimise quality deterioration while maintaining microbiological safety and extending shelf life.

The effect of molecular hydrogen on the quality and shelf life of soft brined cheese
type: item
description: The high moisture content and short shelf life of soft brined cheeses create a serious problem of rapid spoilage, necessitating the search for effective natural stabilizers to preserve product quality and safety. The aim of this study was to improve stability and extend the shelf life of soft brined cheese through the combined application of hop extract during production and subsequent storage in brine enriched with molecular hydrogen (H₂). The main idea was to investigate the synergistic antioxidant effect arising from the combined use of these two natural factors. The scientific significance lies in substantiating a new approach to stabilizing soft brined cheeses using natural antioxidants, while the practical significance lies in improving the technology to extend shelf life without synthetic additives. The methodology was based on controlled experimental modeling with comparative groups of cheese samples (control and experimental variants), including hop extract and hydrogen-enriched brine. Physicochemical (oxidation-reduction potential, water activity, pH), microbiological, and organoleptic indicators were evaluated during storage. It was established that hydrogen-enriched brine reduces oxidation-reduction potential compared to the control, stabilizes water activity at 0.638–0.640 (control: 0.781–0.888), and maintains pH within 4.96–5.08 (control: 5.30–5.77), indicating a more stable environment and improved product stability. Microbiological indicators meet regulatory requirements: pathogenic microflora was not detected, and the total count of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (TAMC) is 1.0–1.2 log CFU/g. The results indicate an antioxidant effect that improves product stability and may extend shelf life without deterioration of organoleptic and functional characteristics. The study contributes to the development of technologies for functional and environmentally safe dairy products using natural stabilizing systems. The results have …

Comparative assessment of fatty acid composition and nutritional indices (ai, ti, hh, ω-6/ω-3) of meat available on the Kazakhstani market
type: item
description: This study presents the results of a comprehensive comparative analysis of the fatty acid composition of six meat types (horse, beef, lamb, pork, maral, and camel meats). Gas chromatography was employed to establish the complete fatty acid profile and to calculate key nutritional quality indices, including the ω-6/ω-3 ratio, atherogenic index (AI), thrombogenic index (TI), and hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio (HH). The results identified beef and horse meat as exhibiting the most favorable fatty acid profile and nutritional quality, characterized by the lowest AI and TI values. Maral meat was distinguished as a unique dietary source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) among the meat types analyzed. Lamb showed the highest proportion of saturated fatty acids, whereas pork demonstrated a pronounced imbalance in the ω-6/ω-3 ratio. Meat from ruminant species (beef, lamb, maral, and camel) was found to consistently contain trans fatty acid isomers, specifically octadecenoic acid (C18:1 trans-9) and linolelaidic acid (C18:2n-6t), which originate from ruminal biohydrogenation processes. The presence of these trans isomers represents a natural, species-specific characteristic of ruminant fat and clearly differentiates it from the fat of non-ruminant animals (pork). Overall, the findings emphasize the predominance of fatty acid quality over total fat content and provide a scientific basis for evidence-based selection of meat products in human nutrition.

Optimization of parameters for adding low- and high-methoxylated pectins to curd mass for geroprotective purposes
type: item
description: Pectins are considered to have geroprotective properties through enterosorption, antioxidant activity and stabilization of milk structure. The aim of the study is to scientifically substantiate the optimal pH, amount and stages of addition of low-methoxylated and high-methoxylated pectin to the curd mass in order to achieve the maximum moisture retention capacity, the lowest syneresis value and improved structural and mechanical properties. The addition of low-methoxylated and high-methoxylated pectin separately and in combination at amounts of 0.25–1.5% was studied at pH 3.0–6.0. In addition, a pH test was carried out in the range of 4.1–4.5 for combined addition. Moisture retention capacity, syneresis, hardness and cohesiveness, and viscosity were evaluated. The uniformity of pectin distribution was controlled by the methylene blue dye method and the Ca-pectate method, and the distribution was recognized as uniform in all samples. The experiments were carried out three times and statistical processing was performed using ANOVA post-hoc with Tukey's criterion (p<0.05). The optimal pH for high-methoxylated pectin was 3.5, for low-methoxylated pectin – 4.6. Within a very narrow pH range of 4.3, the syneresis value was the highest at a 50:50 ratio. The optimal amount of each pectin was 1.0%. Addition at the initial stage (to freshly prepared curd from cow's milk) is effective for both types of pectin, but for combined addition, a method was proposed: adding low-methoxylated pectin to freshly prepared curd, and high-methoxylated pectin to the finished curd mass. At pH 4.3, the 50:50 pectin ratio provided the maximum moisture retention capacity (78.0%), the minimum syneresis (3.2% on the initial day, 8.0% after 14 days) and a hardness of 0.67 N. Compared to the control experiment value of 2.9 mmol/kg, the lipid peroxidation value after 14 days was 1.6 mmol/kg (which is below the oxidation threshold for dairy products of ≤4 mmol/kg). Recommended parameters: total pectin …

Quality assessment of granola using plant-based multicomponent blends
type: item
description: A comparative study of granola produced using plant-based multicomponent mixtures was conducted based on two samples (No. 1 and No. 2). Granola sample No. 2 was characterized by a higher content of protein (13.69% vs. 13.03% in No. 1), fat (15.44% vs. 15.60%), carbohydrates (47.84% vs. 44.43%), and dietary fiber (8.31% vs. 7.42%), which enhances its functional orientation as a grain–plant composite product. The vitamin profile demonstrated a statistically significant increase in vitamin A content in sample No. 2 (0.61 mg/100 g) compared to No. 1 (0.51 mg/100 g), a decrease in vitamin E (5.32 and 6.71 mg/100 g, respectively), and a tendency toward increased levels of B-group vitamins. The total content of polyphenols and flavonoids in sample No. 2 reached 0.91% and 0.47%, respectively, exceeding those of sample No. 1 (0.63% and 0.41%), indicating a more pronounced antioxidant potential. Mineral analysis revealed high levels of magnesium and phosphorus in both samples, while the iron content in sample No. 2 was higher, increasing its value as a source of trace elements involved in hematopoiesis and oxygen transport. Toxicological assessment confirmed product safety: pesticides were not detected; cadmium, arsenic, and mercury were absent; and lead content (≤ 0.0028 mg/kg) was significantly below regulatory limits. The study results demonstrate that the use of plant-based multicomponent mixtures improves the nutritional and functional value of granola by increasing the content of dietary fiber, vitamins, and biologically active compounds while maintaining product safety and high organoleptic characteristics.

Optimization of methods and modes of extraction of biologically active substances from plant raw materials
type: item
description: The paper considers traditional and modern methods of obtaining phenolic compounds from plant raw materials and cellular (in vitro) plant cultures and provides a comparative analysis. Hypericum perforatum (kombucha), Melilotus officinalis (verbena) and Portulaca oleracea (purslane) were selected as the objects of research.The relevance of the study is due to the increased demand for natural phenolic compounds as sources of antioxidants and functional ingredients, as well as the need to develop effective, economically and environmentally friendly technologies for their production.The purpose of the study – determination of the optimal method for obtaining phenolic compounds in terms of yield, stability and technological effectiveness of bioactive compounds.70% ethanol extractant was used in the work, and three methods were compared – maceration, Soxlet extraction and Ultrasonic extraction (UAE).According to the results of the study, the largest amount of phenolic compounds was obtained by the Soxlet method: in natural plant raw materials, 61.2±2.4 mg GAE/g for Hypericum perforatum, 56.3±1.9 mg GAE/g for melilotus officinalis and 45.7±1.5 mg GAE/g for Portulaca oleracea were recorded. The ultrasonic extraction method showed GAE/g values of 58.4±2.1; 44.1±1.5 and 32.8±1.1 mg, respectively, which is higher than that of the maceration method, but lower than that of Soxlet. The lowest values were observed during maceration (in the range of 24.2-42.6 mg GAE/g).It was found that in extracts obtained from In vitro cultures, the content of phenolic compounds is on average 10-20% lower than in natural plant raw materials.As a result of optimization of extraction parameters, it was found that 70% ethanol and a temperature range of 50-70 °C are optimal for the effective production of phenolic compounds, while the maximum values were recorded at 70 °C. Comparative analysis has shown that the Soxlet method provides maximum yield, but requires high temperatures and energy consumpti…

Research on the quality parameters of a functional low-fat peach yogurt produced by freeze-drying
type: item
description: In recent years, as manufacturers have expanded their range of functional fermented milk products, they have become increasingly interested in producing these products in dried form with good sensory characteristics. Among the many preservation methods, freeze-drying preserves nutritional value better than other drying methods, while retaining the actual color and shape of the raw materials. This paper presents the results of studies on the effect of freeze-drying on the quality parameters of low-fat peach yogurt intended for functional use. As a result of the freeze-drying process, freeze-dried yogurt enriched with peach juice was obtained. To prevent microbial growth and extend the product’s shelf life, optimal process parameters were selected (pressure p = 0.050 mbar, condenser temperature t = −80°C), enabling the production of a product of the required quality. The residual moisture content of the dry yogurt, which affects quality indicators, was 3.1%, 3.5%, and 3.8% for the three samples A, B, and C, depending on the thickness of the pre-frozen product before drying, which was 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm, respectively. As the studies showed, the drying time depended on the thickness of the prepared frozen samples. A frozen sample thickness of 10 mm was found to be optimal and resource-efficient, with a drying time of 27 hours. For thicknesses of 15 mm and 20 mm, the drying time ranged from 32.2 to 36.5 hours, depending on the sample thickness, respectively. The addition of peach juice in an amount equal to 20% of the total mass of the finished yogurt, made from skim milk, increased the nutritional value of the final product by raising the content of carbohydrates, vitamins, and macro- and micronutrients.

Assessment of the functional properties of brewer’s spent grain and consumer perception of functional bread in the city of Аstana
type: item
description: Brewer’s spent grain is one of the most promising by-products of the brewing industry and is characterized by high nutritional value and functional properties. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the technological characteristics of dried brewer’s spent grain, including the determination of chemical composition, heavy metal content, water-holding capacity, and microstructure of the raw material. The effect of adding dried brewer’s spent grain at levels of 5–35% on the organoleptic properties of bread was evaluated using a sensory heat map. In addition, an online survey was conducted among residents of the city of Astana (N = 109; aged 16–25) to assess consumer attitudes and willingness to purchase functional bread containing secondary processing products. The results were compared with data from a face-to-face survey conducted in 2021 (N = 100). The findings indicate that young people in Astana show a high level of interest in environmentally friendly and functional food products; however, the main barrier is insufficient awareness of the benefits of secondary plant-based raw materials such as brewer’s spent grain. The use of brewer’s spent grain contributes to the reduction of food waste and supports the development of sustainable production. For the first time under the conditions of Kazakhstan, technological and sociological methods for bread evaluation were combined.

Determining the effect of finishing on leather structure using FTIR spectroscopy
type: item
description: This article investigates the influence of the leather finishing process on its structural properties using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The study involved a comparison of the infrared spectra of finished and unfinished leather samples. The measurements were carried out on a Shimadzu IRPrestige-21 FTIR spectrometer equipped with a Miracle accessory from Pike Technologies. Spectra for each sample were recorded in the range of 4000–400 cm⁻¹. The analysis was based on examining the main absorption bands (peaks) in the obtained spectra. The research was conducted in the "Structural and Biochemical Materials" engineering laboratory at the M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University. The results confirmed that the finishing process leads to a reorganization of chemical bonds and molecular changes in the material's surface layer. Specifically, it was established: formation of a polymer film on the surface of the samples, partial modification of the collagen structure and a reduction in the intensity of certain chemical bonds, a slight shift in the absorption bands of the amide group valence vibrations (–C=O, –NH) was observed, indicating a partial modification of the collagen chains. Thus, the obtained data prove that leather finishing causes a rearrangement of chemical bonds and molecular-structural changes in its top layer. The appearance of absorption bands in the range of 1735–1740 cm−1 on the surface of the finished sample indicates the formation of carbonyl (C=O) functional groups in its polymeric composition. Based on the results, further study and optimization of the composition of finishing materials are recommended to ensure the preservation of high quality and functional properties of leather.

Requirements for designing workwear for metallurgists
type: item
description: The article discusses the impact of hazardous production factors on metallurgists, depending on the working conditions, for different sub-sectors of the metallurgical industry. The classification of sub-sectors of ferrous metallurgy is examined. The main problematic areas of workwear, which experience the most wear during operation, are identified, and based on the types of injuries to workers, the main requirements for materials when designing special clothing are outlined. Based on a detailed analysis of the working conditions of metallurgists, namely the exposure to elevated temperatures in the form of: thermal radiation, climatic conditions, open flames, contact with hot surfaces, sparks, and splashes of molten metal, as well as the study of characteristic human movements, new prerequisites for determining rational artistic, design, and technological solutions for workwear are proposed. Ergonomic requirements for the design of special clothing characterize the preservation of the thermal balance of the under-garment space, ensuring that the design of the product matches the shape of the human body both statically and dynamically; ease of use of individual elements of the product. Having considered the requirements in the system "metallurgist - protective suit - external environment", we can formulate the most significant ones: special clothing must provide protection from high temperatures, must not be heavy, the suit must ensure freedom of movement of the worker. The presented research results can be used to improve work suits, increase their durability, and ensure labor safety in the metallurgical industry. They can also be applied to optimize the production and operation of workwear.

Use of plant extracts for finishing natural leather
type: item
description: Currently, the use of synthetic dyes in the finishing process of leather products causes environmental problems. The aim of this work is to use environmentally friendly plant extracts for finishing natural sheepskin leather as a solution to this problem. The finishing process uses extracts of oak bark (Cortex Quercus), agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria L.), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), and «Aquanat Chlorophyll» as a natural dye. The use of plant extracts in the leather industry helps to reduce the amount of chemicals in the finished leather and has a positive impact on the environment. The article describes methods for obtaining natural extracts from these plants and the technology for their use in the processing of raw leather. Plant extracts are a renewable resource. The use of tannin rich plant extracts provides a sustainable and environmentally responsible alternative in leather production. Plant extracts have antimicrobial properties, promote the removal of formaldehyde and can be used as natural dyes in leather processing. In this regard, there is a need to use environmentally friendly plant extracts in leather production, which allows solving the tasks of the «green economy» in terms of environmental protection. Chrome-tanned leather from small ruminant hides, manufactured at the «Taraz Leather Factory» LLP, was used as the object of research.

Investigation of the technology for forming hydrophobic and oleophilic properties of textile materials
type: item
description: The research topic is aimed at creating hydrophobic and oleophilic textile materials based on cotton and mixed fabrics. The main goal of the work is to develop an effective method of chemical modification of textile fibers to increase their hydrophobicity and oleophilicity, which will solve the problem of insufficient sorption capacity and limited functionality of existing textile materials when treating water from oil pollution. In the course of the study, methods for processing fabrics with sodium silicate and potassium methylsiliconate were studied, which made it possible to control the hydrophobicity and oleophilicity of materials. The scientific significance of the work is to expand knowledge about the possibility of purposefully changing the surface properties of textile fibers and the effect of chemical modification on sorption characteristics. Practical importance is manifested in the creation of functional textile materials suitable for water purification from oil pollution and the creation of environmentally friendly sorbents. The research methodology evaluated the chemical treatment of fabrics, the ability to push water and oil, their moisture absorption and surface wetting resistance properties and the ability to absorb petroleum products. The main results showed that the processing of textile products significantly increases its hydrophobicity and oleophilicity, and cotton fabrics show the highest efficiency. A relationship is established between the concentration of the modifier and the sorption properties of the material. The results obtained confirm the controllability of the modification process and allow the developed materials to be used in industry. The contribution of the work is the development of a new method for obtaining functional textile sorbents with regulated properties that are important for ecology and industry.

3D Design of smart clothing: a biomechanical approach to integration of electronic technologies
type: item
description: Traditional approaches to the design of electronic textiles consider electronic components as an addition to the finished product, excluding biomechanical components on the matrix during professional movements. The consequences of this include premature failure of wire paths, signal distortion during posture changes, and loss of measurement accuracy in the final phases of the work cycle. This article is devoted to the development and verification of a step-by-step algorithm for the combined biomechanics and design of smart workwear, in which a topological map of the deformation zone directly determines the architecture of sensor node placement. The article presents an eight step digital algorithm for designing smart workwear with embedded electronic elements (e-textiles), combining professional biomechanics, topological mapping of fabric deformation, and independent sensor placement. An extended HCE cluster model is used to account for the electrical parameters of fabrics. A sixth deformation zone category—the stable zone (St, ε < 5%)—is introduced as a target area for sensor nodes. The sensor stability index (SSI) is incorporated as a new design evaluation metric. Practical application of the algorithm increases the SSI from 0.72 to 0.93 and reduces the number of prototyping iterations from 5 to 1.

Cellulose textile materials with superhydrophilic properties
type: item
description: Fabrics made of cotton, flax and viscose fiber were chosen as objects of research. Samples of 20×20 cm were prepared. In order to give hydrophobic properties to fabrics based on sol-gel technology, a composition was prepared from a solution of sodium silicate (in the ratio of sodium silicate:water / 1:2). To create an acidic environment, 5 ml of acetic acid was added to the solution. The treated samples were dried in a thermal oven at 80 °C for 15 minutes. The samples were then treated with a solution of polymethylsiloxane (at a concentration of 20-40 ml/L), followed by pressing and drying, and then heat treatment at 120 °C for 1 minute. Samples treated with sodium silicate and polymethylsiloxane retained good hydrophobic properties even after wet processing. The hydrophobicity of cellulose textile materials was determined using a penetrometer in accordance with the ISO 811-2021 standard. Under various conditions, this value exceeded 100 mm of water pressure for the treated fabrics. When testing the resistance of the fabric surface to wetting by spraying (according to the ISO 4920 standard), the treated samples were rated at 4 to 5 points, which is due to the presence of small droplets on the surface of the sample. For untreated fabrics, this value was 0 points, indicating that both sides of the sample were completely wet. The air permeability of the cellulose textile materials treated with the proposed composition meets the regulatory requirements.
