NEW STANDARDS FOR MILK POWDER INGREDIENTS

Abstract. In recent years, dry milk ingredients, in particular milk protein concentrates and permeates, have been widely used in many sectors of the global economy, which makes the task of ensuring quality control during their production particularly relevant. The lack of standards establishing requirements for the characteristics of dry milk ingredients not only hinders the solution of this problem, but also threatens the very possibility of manufacturing these products.

Keywords: milk powders, milk protein concentrates, permeates, interstate standards.

ANALYSING QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF GLAZED CURD CHEESE BARS

Abstract. The article presents the results of consumer quality evaluation for glazed curd cheese bars. Based on the results of tasting depersonalized samples, their quality level was determined, taking into account the compliance of a number of organoleptic indicators with consumer expectations, and a study of product visualized characteristics was conducted. A generalized assessment of quality parameters was given and the impact of visualization on consumer perception of the product was established.

Keywords: consumer tasting, organoleptic characteristics, quality, glazed curd cheese bars.

APPLYING DESIRABILITY FUNCTION TO IMPROVE THE PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Abstract. The article discusses the general theory for applying the Harrington function in the development of mathematical models to create the substances with unique properties, as well as an example of its use. The results of testing sealant samples with different component ratios are evaluated using a generalized desirability function, which not only allows the best option to be selected, but also clearly demonstrates the effect of filler processing on achieving the established characteristics.

Keywords: desirability function, composite materials, component ratio, multi-criteria tasks.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT USING VARIOUS METHODS

Abstract. A national monitoring system, including a network of laboratories, determines the natural water quality, detecting pollution, but the results of measurements obtained in different laboratories often diverge. The article proposes a procedure for making an arbitration decision in case of such discrepancies, which helps to minimize errors and ensure the reliability of the results.

Keywords: water quality, sampling, analysis method, method accuracy, arbitration decision.
