This study investigated the incorporation of Salicornia perennans powder as a natural antioxidant and functional ingredient in cooked sausages, with the aim of improving product quality and promoting sustainable production strategies. The inclusion of 3% Salicornia perennans resulted in a nutritionally favorable shift in the fatty acid profile, with a 1.5-fold increase in α-linolenic acid ALA and the presence of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, along with improved PUFA/SFA and ω-6/ω-3 ratios. Lipid and protein oxidation were significantly suppressed during refrigerated storage, as evidenced by the reduced peroxide value of 10.6 vs. 12.8 meq/kg, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance value of 0.158 vs. 0.210 mg MDA/kg, acid value of 4.6 vs. 5.5 mg KOH/g, and carbonyl compound value of 101.9 vs. 112.3 nmol/mg protein compared to the control. Color stability was enhanced, with ΔE* values remaining below perceptible thresholds in Salicornia perennans-supplemented sausages, highlighting its role in preserving visual quality. Antioxidant capacity was markedly higher, with FRAP values of 14.5 mg GAE/g undetected in the control and improved DPPH radical-scavenging activity of 22.6% vs. 12.5%. These findings demonstrate that Salicornia perennans not only enriches meat products with bioactive compounds and health-promoting lipids but also reduces oxidative spoilage, thereby extending shelf life. The results emphasize the potential of halophyte-based ingredients to support technological innovation, environmental impact reduction, and the development of clean-label functional meat products aligned with sustainable production strategies.

Clean-label preservation of beef patties remains challenging due to rapid oxidative and microbiological spoilage during refrigeration. Incorporating Salicornia extract yielded clear, dose-dependent quality gains over 15 days at 4 ± 1 °C. Relative to the control, 1.5% Salicornia lowered secondary lipid oxidation by 42% (TBARS: 1.15 vs. 1.98 mg MDA/kg) and primary oxidation by 33% (PV: 3.30 vs. 4.95 meq O₂/kg), while maintaining a substantially higher antioxidant status (TPC: 20.6 vs. 6.8 mg GAE/100 g; DPPH: 45.8% vs. 14.5%). Microbiological loads were attenuated (SPC: 4.88 vs. 6.20 log CFU/g; psychrotrophs: 1.46 vs. 2.00 log CFU/g; yeasts/molds: 1.44 vs. 1.74 log CFU/g), accompanied by moderated physicochemical drift (pH: 6.16 vs. 5.86; a_w: 0.847 vs. 0.828). Color retention was markedly improved, with higher redness and lower overall discoloration (a*: 13.6 vs. 9.8; ΔE*: 3.96 vs. 9.13). The 1.0% treatment showed intermediate benefits, indicating a robust dose response. Collectively, these outcomes demonstrate that 1.0–1.5% Salicornia delivers multifaceted protection, limiting lipid oxidation, curbing microbial growth, preserving color, and stabilizing matrix attributes, thereby extending the refrigerated shelf-life of beef patties and supporting clean-label reformulation, particularly when combined with oxygen-limiting packaging.

The article is devoted to the biologization of the processes of protection of one of the promising crops in the conditions of Northern Kazakhstan. The authors revealed the potential opportunities among rapeseed producers in the global market, the leaders are the EU countries: 17.26 (10.311 thousand tons); China: 14 (6981 thousand tons); Canada: 12.6 (4275 thousand tons); India: 10.8 (3880 thousand tons); Australia: 6.35 (410 thousand tons). Kazakhstan, with a level of 16.4 million tons/year, also plans to increase rapeseed production. As part of the research, the ways of greening rapeseed protection schemes are considered. The article presents the results of the assessment of the impact of reducing the use of pesticides on the yield and condition of rapeseed crops.The object of the researchwasspringrapeseed of the «Maily Dan» variety, the research was carried out in the field and laboratory conditions at the site of the Scientific-production center for grain farming named after A. Barayev and NAO"S.Seifullin Kazakh agrotechnical research University". The focus was on ecosystem aspects and biological control methods for common pests.This study aims to investigate the effects of an ecologized rapeseed crop protection program that uses less chemical pesticides and incorporates growth activators and biofertilizers to lessen environmental stress and boost plant immunity. The selection of genetically resistant cultivars, seed material preparation, computerized pest monitoring, and the use of chemical and biological plant protection are all aspects of the extensive research of plant biology and defensive mechanisms. Integrated plant protection is nearly as expensive as chemical protection, according to studies. Comprehensive protection, on the other hand, has a noticeable environmental benefit, enhances product quality, lowers climatic risks, boosts yield by 10–30%, and has a longer-lasting effect.

Halophytes exhibit a broad geographical distribution, and their phytochemical profiling highlights their nutritional relevance, particularly in the context of global food insecurity. Salicornia species, in particular, have been identified as a source of functional nutrients, including dietary fiber, proteins, and essential macronutrients. In this study, Salicornia perennans specimens collected from two distinct regions of Kazakhstan were analyzed using atomic spectrometry, revealing significant inter-populational variation in macronutrient composition among wild-grown samples. Furthermore, the impact of artificially induced chloride salinity at concentrations of 0 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, and 300 mM was investigated with respect to macronutrient and nutrient accumulation. Data analysis indicated that 300 mM salinity promoted the accumulation of elemental nutrients within plant tissues, despite a concomitant reduction in fresh biomass by up to 13% (p>0.01). Protein content was also found to be salinity-dependent, with sample #1 exhibiting a peak value of 11.03 mg·g−1 fresh weight at the highest salinity level tested. These findings underscore intraspecific variability in nutrient accumulation patterns within Salicornia perennans, reflecting its adaptive plasticity to diverse environmental conditions. The results further support the potential of wild halophytic species as valuable components in food systems, owing to their high nutritional density and resilience under saline stress, making them promising candidates for the development of novel functional food products.
