Processed cheeses belong to food products of high nutritional and biological value. Bioflavonoids, which are widespread in higher plants and have a number of unique properties, are practically not found in traditional processed cheese chunks. Quercetin is most commonly found in plant flavonoids. Most studies have confirmed the following basic biological properties of quercetin: immunostimulating effect (increases the activity of phagocytes, T- and B-lymphocytes; increases the production of antibodies, reduces the manifestations of secondary immunodeficiency, the incidence of viral infections); oncoprotective effect due to a decrease in the damaging effect of oxygen radicals on the genetic apparatus; antioxidant protection; positive effect in cardiovascular diseases, etc. The cheapest, most bioavailable and frequently used plant raw materials are onions, which also contain bioflavonoids. The article explores the use of wild onions in the creation of functional processed cheese. In connection with the spread of coronavirus infection, it is necessary to strengthen the body's immunity with the help of nutrition. The experiments carried out have established the quantitative presence of flavonoids, vitamin K in processed cheese with wild onions. Inulin and saponins were found in the composition of wild onions, which also proves the advisability of using wild onions in food. The research results on the development of a technology for a new processed cheese and a method of adding wild onion filler in different variations: fresh and in the form of a powder are presented. It was found that fresh addition of Allium odorum imparts a sharp onion aroma, and when dried it imparts a slightly chalky aroma to the final product. The positive effect of the vegetable filler on the shelf life of processed cheese has been proven.

Providing the population with high-quality products is a priority intention of the government. North Kazakhstan and Akmola regions are the most promising in developing the country's dairy cattle breeding and milk processing. An assessment of the qualitative indicators of milk production and processing in these areas would allow us to assess the dynamics of the development of the country's dairy industry and identify the main problems, so research on this issue is relevant. The study aimed to analyze the qualitative indicators of milk production and processing at the enterprises of the North Kazakhstan and Akmola regions, the factors affecting the quality of dairy products, and the prospects for expanding the range of enterprises. In the study, an InfraXact infrared analyzer was used to determine the quality of haylage in the diet of goats and for goat milk - the CombiFoss FT + analyzer. Generally, the quality of milk on the goat farms "Zeren" and "Tamasha-2050" in terms of fat, protein, lactose, fatty acid composition of milk fat, and somatic cells meets the regulatory requirements. The specificity of the goat farm "Tamasha-2050" is the production of various hard and soft cheese types. Farm "Zeren" is focused on the production scale and a wide range of products (drinking milk, yogurt, kefir, and ice cream). It was concluded that there is a wide choice for the consumer of high-quality dairy products from goat milk in enterprises.

This paper considers the possibility of using rice husks as enterosorbing fibers in the production of fermented milk products. The results of studying the fermented milk product using L. diacetylactis, L. bulgaricus, and Bacteriumbifidum microflora with the introduction of enterosorbing dietary fibers (ESDF) are reported. The technology of processing and preparation for the introduction of rice husks is described. Rice husks were studied for different particle sizes, the optimal option in the form of powder was selected. The behavior, influence on the shelf life, and viability of lactic acid bacteria in the finished product were investigated. The study of the chemical composition showed that in the examined samples the protein content increased by 25 %, carbohydrates – by 1.6 %, and dry matter – by 18 %; the content of dietary fiber (2.3 g) is 9 % of the daily value. An organoleptic assessment was also analyzed, based on which it was revealed that the rational dose of rice husks is 12 %. The dose of ESDF introduction varied from 0 to 5 %, in increments of 1 %. The optimization method revealed the area of the optimum, based on which repeated studies of the fermented milk product, produced according to the optimal formulation, were carried out. To assess safety, such indicators as QMAFAnM (the quantity of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms), titrated acidity and pH, as well as the content of heavy metals in the resulting samples were investigated. Enriching the fermented milk product with dietary fiber has made it possible to obtain a product with higher organoleptic properties and increased nutritional value while maintaining the consumer properties of the product

This article investigates processed cheese's nutritional value and safety by adding vegetable additives (dry Spirulina powder). Processed cheese for lunch is taken as a basis for the formulation. As a control, we took cheese made according to classical technology. We used cheeses from cow's milk. We used combined raw materials in the developed technology: cow's and goat's milk cheeses. Spirulina was added to the formulation as an enrichment agent in the 1%, 2%, and 3% ratio, respectively. The sample with a 1% addition was found to be rational according to the results of the organoleptic evaluation. The formulation was optimised in further study by selecting 0.5%, 1.5% and 2%. A centre composite plot was used to add points around the pre-lagged optimum. A regression formula was obtained, and the melting salts and the dosage of the added enrichment agent were determined. Also, the share of cheese from goat's milk in the recipe of processed cheese was determined. The recipe was calculated on the principle of material balance. Experimental samples were examined for fatty acid and amino acid composition. The tables compare the best sample on organoleptic evaluation with the control. It was found that when 3% is added, the cheese acquires a dark green tinge. The colour is deep green when 2% is added; when 1% or less is added, the colour is salad. The dose of melting salts in the recipe was reduced to 2%; in the classic recipe, it was 3.9%. The protein of the experimental sample turned out to be closer to the ideal protein. PDCAAS is equal to 96.9, while in the control sample, PDCAAS is equal to 39.9. Also, when comparing the fatty acid composition, the thrombogenicity coefficient was lower in the experimental sample than in the control.

The sea buckthorn has proven antioxidant properties. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the addition of dry Hippophae rhamnoides extract on the functional and oxidative stability of traditional Kazakh molded smoked ham. Sea buckthorn extraction parameters were optimized by factorial experimental design and polynomial regression modelling. The optimal dosages of acid value, peroxide value, TBARS, and sensory-assessed cross-sectional surface were determined. The instrumental color, pH, texture profile, hydrolytic and oxidative changes in lipid and protein fractions, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and microbiological status of ham with 3% extract were evaluated over 30 d at 0–4 °C. An increase in total phenols (19.8%), radical scavenging activity against DPPH (33.6%), and FRAP (12.8%) was found. The addition of 3.0% sea buckthorn extract had a minor effect on the oxidative processes. Dry sea buckthorn extract can be successfully added to the production of traditional Kazakh molded smoked ham from horse and camel meat to stabilize the oxidative stability of the product.

This paper offers investigation of fruit and berry fillers on the rheological properties of fermented milk drinks. The research was conducted as part of a scientific research effort. Local wild plants were used as fillers. This type of research allowed expanding the range of products at the enterprise and improving the organoleptic and nutritional properties of products. The purpose of this article is to find additional local vegetable raw materials as filler for fermented milk products. The importance of the results is that the data obtained can be used by specialists of dairy farms. During the period of coronavirus infection, when there were interruptions in the supply of raw materials, such directions it sets for future research as the development and improvement new food products by using local plant raw materials were revealed. The experimental samples of fermented milk drink from goat’s milk with various fillers (tayberry, shadberry, black chokeberry and blackcurrant). The pH of the samples were measured with a pH meter (Exspert-рН, Russia). Total solids, protein, fat, ash, and titratable acidity were determined according to the methods described by the standard method. Goat's milk is subjected to ozonization for 10 minutes at an ozone concentration of 80 mg/m3 before entering the container. The pasteurized goat milk (at 37 °C) was inoculated with freeze-dried culture bacterial starter culture (thermophilic lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria (Breve B 10, Bifidobacterium adolescentis B 14, Bifidobacterium adolescentis B 37) in the ratio 2:1 at 5 % inoculation level. The sensory aspects were undertaken using 10 panellists. The degree of influence of the introduced bacterial starter culture on the duration of fermentation of fermented milk beverages was studied by taking into account the rheological characteristics and structural and technological parameters. A mathematical model of the dependence of the strength and acidity of a fermented milk clot on the dose of fruit and berry fillers is constructed.
