Ensuring uniform drying of products is a key aspect for achieving uniform quality of the final product. This study examines the process of obtaining primary data on thermophysical parameters in the working zone of a convective drying equipment for kurt. The analysis of heat transfer, humidity and temperature conditions will allow to determine the optimal drying conditions in the future, which will lead to a reduction in production time, effective control of the technological process and an increase in product quality. The aim of the work is to collect primary data by measuring and studying thermal and physical parameters using DHT22 sensors connected to an Arduino Nano controller. As a result of installing ten sensors, information on temperature and humidity was collected, which confirmed the stable operation of the measuring system and the kurt drying equipment as a whole. The obtained data showed a deviation in the humidity level by 1-2% and a temperature range from 45 to 74 °C. The observed differences are explained by the uneven distribution of the coolant, which can be improved by using cascades and blinds. The results of the study are of practical importance for enterprises engaged in the production of kurts and other food products, and can contribute to the optimization of the drying process, which is important for increasing competitiveness in the market.
Modern food products do not contain a high content of nutrients, in particular minerals. The consumption of such products affects not only the health of the nation but also the economy of the country. According to the World Health Organization, the lack of the mineral element iron remains relevant, especially among children and pregnant women not only in developed countries, but all over the world. This article presents studies of the effect of cow's milk enrichment on the physico-chemical and organoleptic qualities of fortified milk. The cow's milk with a fat content of 3.6 and 2.8% was enriched with iron sulfate (FeSO4.7H2O) and trivalent ammonium citrate (C6H8FeNO7). The samples of Ferrous Sulfate (10mg) and Ferric Ammonium Citrate (10mg) showed significant changes in milk with fat content 2.8 % fortification. The effect of iron enrichment on the process of milk fermentation was also studied, and a milk sample was taken. The milk sample fortified with iron had a considerable acidity increase on 3 h from 22°T to 800T, this is by 37 % compared to the control sample. The effect of iron enrichment on the fermentation process or the supporting role of iron in the growth of fermenting bacteria is still in question, although a number of studies have been conducted in this area, but more clarity and specific research and experiments on this issue are still needed.
Due to its high nutritional value, mutton is an important raw material for food production.

In this scientific article the influence of enzymatic treatment on the quality of meat products from nontraditional raw materials (camelina, horse meat, mutton, beef) was studied. Bromelain (0.5-0.2%), papain (0.1-0.3%) and ficin (0.1-0.5%) as well as their combination were used as enzymes. To improve functional and technological characteristics, a multicomponent brine containing plant components (sea buckthorn powder, pumpkin powder and goji berry extract, rosemary extract), plant enzymes, phosphates and protein hydrolysates were used. The results showed that the use of enzymes contributed to the softening of the meat structure, improving the juiciness and tenderness of the product. The most pronounced effect was observed in samples treated with papain, while ficin had the greatest effect on mutton and beef. The study of pH dynamics showed that without enzyme treatment, pH increased to 6.67 after 5 days, indicating initial signs of spoilage. At the same time, the combined application of enzymes kept the pH at a stable level (6.20), which helped to extend the shelf life of the product. Thus, the use of proteolytic enzymes in combination with multicomponent brine improves the texture, organoleptic characteristics and functional and technological properties of meat products, which can be recommended for industrial production.
The article presents the results of research on the use of new varieties of domestic forage crops: sorghum “Kazakhstan 20”, mogar “KazNIIZIR 80” in the production of mixed fodder. Analysis of literary sources shows that there is little information on the use of domestic varieties of sorghum in the production of mixed fodder, there is no information on the use of mogar in the production of mixed fodder in animal feeding. The results of the study show that sorghum varieties are being cultivated in the country. It is established that the mineral and amino acid composition of sorghum is similar to that of corn and barley, which are widely used in the production of mixed fodder. The study of physical and technological properties of grain crops: mogar and sorghum showed that grain crops have good friability. Chemical, amino acid and mineral composition of grain crops were determined. The results of the analysis showed that the protein content of sorghum grain compared to corn is higher by 21.22%, fat content by 5.5%, and fiber content is higher by 1.5 times. The protein content of sorghum grain is 22.8% higher than that of mogar, while the fat content is 1.53% greater. Conversely, the fiber content of mogar grain is 1.38 times higher than that of sorghum. The analysis of amino acid composition in grain crops revealed that mogar has a more valuable profile compared to sorghum, containing 4.62 times more lysine, 2.05 times more methionine, and 1.53 times more threonine. Research results indicate that when using domestic forage crops such as sorghum "Kazakhstan 20" and mogar "KazNIIZiR 80" for feeding young birds and animals, it is necessary to apply moisture-heat treatment.
Gamma-irradiation and sealing methods, including vacuum sealing, have been widely studied to increase the safety and extend the shelf life of poultry meat. This study presents an analysis of the study of poultry meat processing using gamma radiation at doses of 2 kGy, 4 kGy, 6 kGy and 8 kGy and its effect on physical and microbiological characteristics in and without vacuum packaging, an analysis was performed at 1, 7 and 14 days. The results are presented that low doses of radiation (2 kGy and 4 kGy) did not affect the physical properties, whereas with an increase in the dose to 6 kGy and 8 kGy, significant changes occurred, especially in vacuum-free packaging. Vacuum packaging in combination with gamma irradiation preserves physical characteristics more effectively, a dose of 4 kg provides an optimal balance of preserving the quality of meat. The analysis shows that gamma radiation at a dose of 4 kGy, when using vacuum packaging, effectively preserves the physical and microbiological properties of poultry meat for 14 days. Vacuum sealing, on the other hand, helps maintain product freshness by minimizing oxygen exposure, thus delaying oxidative processes and microbial growth. The synergistic effects of combining gamma radiation with sealing methods, both with and without vacuum, are evaluated to understand their impact on poultry meat quality and shelf life.
