Search for Resistance to Egyptian Broomrape (Orobanche Aegyptiaca) in Tomato Germplasm
Authors: Sawafta Mohammad , Shtaya Munqez
Published: April 2023

This experiment was conducted to compare the level of resistance to Orobanche aegyptiaca (also known as broomrape) in a collection of sixty wild and cultivated tomato spices. One commercial susceptible variety ‘Samara’ was used as control. The experiment was performed in the framework of Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD), with three replicates. Two plants from each accession were transplanted into open field in 2009. Three traits were studied including days to first appearance of Orobanche shoots, weakness of tomato plants (vegetative growth) and number of emerged Orobanche shoots per tomato plant. Number of Orobanche shoots per tomato plant ranged from 3.8 to 9.2 shoots compared with the susceptible check, with an average of 6 emerged Orobanche shoots per plant. The accessions were divided into three clusters. Accessions within the first cluster could be considered as the most resistant accessions in the collection since the average number of Orobanche shoots per tomato plant was low (4.49) and at the same time tomato plants were very strong (weaknesses value = 2.26). Further histological studies to understand the mechanism of resistance in these accessions would be advisable.

أجريت هذه التجربة بهدف مقارنة مستويات مقاومة مجموعة من أصناف البندورة العادية والبرية لطفيل الهالوك. أستخدم في التجربة 60 نوعا من البندورة العادية والبرية بإلاضافة إلى صنف تجاري (سمارة) كشاهد حساس لطفيل الهالوك. أجريت التجربة في بلدة قباطية في محافظة جنين في الموسم الزراعي 2009. زرعت الأشتال في الحقل المكشوف بتاريخ 2009/04/20 وفق النظام العشوائي التام في ثلاث مكررات، ومثل كل نوع من أنواع البندورة بنبتتين في كل مكرر. لم يتم إجراء أي نوع من العدوى لأرض التجربة كونها معروفة بشدة إصابتها بطفيل الهالوك. خلال موسم النمو تم تسجيل موعد ظهور نباتات طفيل الهالوك حول نباتات البندورة، وكذلك قوة النمو الخضري لنباتات البندورة والعدد النهائي لنباتات طفيل الهالوك حول نباتات البندورة وذلك في أخر الموسم الزراعي. أظهرت النتائج تفاوتا في مدى مقاومة أصناف البندورة لطفيل الهالوك حيث تراوح مدى المقاومة ما بين ضعيفة الى متوسطة. كان معدل عدد نباتات طفيل الهالوك الظاهرة حول نباتات الشاهد (صنف سمارة) 6 نباتات، بينما بلغ عدد نباتات الهالوك الظاهرة حول بقية أنواع البندورة المستخدمة في التجربة بين 3.8 – 9.2 وبمعدل 5.7نبات لكل صنف. أظهرت النتائج أنه يمكن تقسيم أنواع البندورة المستخدمة في التجربة الى ثلاث مجموعات. يمكن إعتبار الأصناف الواقعة ضمن المجموعة الأولى (22 صنف) بأنها أكثر الأصناف مقاومة لطفيل الهالوك حيث بلغ معدل عدد نباتات الهالوك النابتة 4.49 نباتات وبنفس الوقت كانت نباتات البندورة ذات مجموع خضري قوي. نظراً لتأثر طفيل الهالوك بالعوامل الجوية والبيئية الأمر الذي يستدعي إجراء مزيد من التجارب بهدف تأكيد النتائج والعمل على إدخال هذه الأصناف كأصول للبندورة للحد من تأثير طفيل الهالوك على محصول البندورة.

Authors: Abdallah Jihad M. , Omar Jamal Abo
Published: April 2023

A field survey was conducted to characterize local “Baladi” goats in the West Bank, Palestine. A total of 104 flocks were sampled in the Southern, Central and Northern geographical regions. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics were recorded on 104 bucks and 416 does. Significant differences were found between males and females and among regions. The multivariate discriminant analyses were able to identify seven body measures for bucks and eight body measures for does which were significant in discriminating Baladi goat populations from the three regions. For bucks, the squared Mahalanobis distances showed higher differentiation between the Southern and Central regions (11.83) and between the Southern and Northern regions (8.02) than between the Central and Northern regions (4.27). For does, distances were similar (3.05, 2.90, and 3.13 between Southern and Central, between Southern and Northern, and between Central and Northern regions, respectively). Canonical discriminant analyses showed that 81.6% of bucks and 74.1% of does were correctly classified into their geographic areas with highest rates found in the Southern region (96.9% of bucks and 88.3% of does). These results form the basis for the development of future characterization and conservation plans of Baladi goats in Palestine.

Reconsidering patients with chronic kidney psychological needs: optimizing hemodialysis room design
Authors: Helles Ahed
Published: April 2023

Chronic kidney failure (CKF) and its treatment often manifest in anxiety and fear in patients. The present study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how hospital interior design, hemodialysis rooms, in particular, can exacerbate or alleviate anxiety and fear in patients with CKF. Specifically, it reviews relevant literature to unveil to what extent a home-like environment in CKF healthcare centers might minimize anxiety and fear compared to an institutional design. Findings revealed patients with CKF delineate into three groups based on their psychological response to their disease and their ability to adapt to the new situation. Based on these classifications, the researcher proposed three models for the dialysis room to reduce anxiety and fear in each category. Crucially, while a homey environment in healthcare centers helps to mitigate anxiety and fear in a subset of patients with CKF, other patients may feel more anxious and fearful in such an environment.

Effect of Zn addition on alloy by 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 wt.% on thermal properties, electrical conductivity and microstructure of eutectic Sn-3.5Ag alloy
Authors: Muala Abdullah
Published: April 2023

In this work, the effects of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 wt.% Zn additives on the characteristic of Sn3.5Ag eutectic solder alloy, have been diluted to produce four micro alloys. Effects of 0.3 to 0.9 wt% Zn- additions on phase transformation and electrical resistivity of Sn-3.5Ag eutectic solder alloy have been investigated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Keithley Source Meter (SMU), respectively. The addition of Zn reduced the melting point of the eutectic Sn–3.5Ag alloy and the pasty range (Tend - Tonset) for the Sn-3.5Ag-0.3Zn, Sn-3.5Ag-0.6Zn and Sn-3.5Ag-0.9Zn solder alloys are 8.34, 8.31 and 7.12 °C respectively, decreased from four micro alloys 8.34 °C to 7.12 °C. These results show that the Zn addition is beneficial to decrease the heat of fusion of the Sn-3.5Ag solder alloy This improvement is an indication for property enhancing the mechanical properties. It is showing that the solder alloy needs the lowest energy for melting and it is a useful for saving energy also the resistivity increases continuously with Zn content.
Factors Influencing Household Food Security among Smallholder Farmers: The Case of the Jordan Valley
Authors: Al-Wedyan Safaa
Published: April 2023

Food security is a main challenge for the countries of the world, especially the developing countries. Hence, the aim of this paper is to determine factors that are associated with food security in the Jordan valley. This study utilizes the household questionnaire survey dataset of 211 smallholder farmers in 2020. To measure food security, the study employs two food security indicators, namely the Household dietary diversity score (HDDS) and Household food insecurity access score (HFIAS). Two Multiple Regression Models are estimated with the dependent variables (HDDS) and (HFIAS). Both the (HDDS) and (HFIAS)models findings reveal that the education level of household head, the marital status of household head, the farming experience of household head, farm size, off- farm income, and access to credit influences the household food security. Therefore, the study recommends that government establish and promotion of small-scale agro-based industries, providing the training services and retraining of farmers, and farmer education, as well as expanding the agricultural unit distribution program.

Downscaling of Thermal Images Over the Gaza Strip Using the Land Surface Temperature—Spectral Indices Relation: Case Study; Hot, Arid, and Semi-Arid Areas
Authors: Essa Wiesam , Lhissou Rachid
Published: April 2023

Many thermal sharpening applications are evaluated in temperate and subtropical climate regions, which are com-monly characterized by the presence of the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. However, similar studies are rarely found in hot, arid, and semi-arid climate cities, where an urban cool island (UCI) phenomenon exists. Recent research shows that the spectral characteristics of land covers and their responses to LST are different based on their climatic type. Resultantly, spectral indices (SIs) show different evaluations to be successfully used in sharpen-ing techniques like the DisTrad, to sharpen LST over several land covers, especially in urban areas. The main ob-jectives of this study are; 1)- to evaluate the spatial relationship between LST and a number of most commonly used urban's remote sensing SIs (21 SIs described in table 2) over the Gaza Strip in two land cover scenarios: all land covers "All" and the urban mask “urban”; 2)- to downscale aggregated low-resolution Landsat 8\LST image at 1000 m to a higher resolution of 100 m. Spectral indices and land surface temperature are calculated using the Landsat 8 image of summer 2017. Spatial regression analysis between SIs and LST within the "All" land cover class and at 1000 m resolutions show the best SIs that have the highest correlation (R2) with LST are DBSI (0.66) and ABEI (0.59). While in the "urban" class, the same indices shows also the highest correlation; BAEI (0.57) and DBSI (0.64). Moreover, statistical validation with LST observation at 100m resolution (Landsat 8\LST), DisTrad was found suc-cessful to downscale LST to 100 m resolution over UCI areas using the indices ABEI and DBSI with the highest cor-relation (R2) over the "All" class (0.77 and 0.73 respectively) and over the "urban" mask using DBSI (0.59) and BAEI (0.58)
The Susceptibility of Twelve Grape Cultivars to Meloidogyne Incognita Acrita, Rotylenchulus Reniformis and Tylenchulus Semipenetrans
Authors: Sultan S. A.
Published: April 2023

In this study the susceptibility of 5 American cultivars (Delight, Fiesta, Freedom, Harmony and Ruby), 3 Egyptian cultivars (Baladi, Bez-Alanza, and Fayumi) and 4 Palestinian cultivars (Al-Zeiny, Black-Zeiny, Beitony and Chamey) were tested for the three nematode species. The results indicated that, the twelve grape cultivars were different in their susceptibility to each nematode species. Black-Zeiny and Ruby sustained the highest population densities of all these nematode species, whereas freedom and Harmony cultivars supported the lowest number of all nematode species. Chamey and Zeiny were good hosts of M. incognita; Delight and Fiesta were good for both R. reniformis and T. semipenetrans. Beitony was a good host for both M. incognita and T. semipenetrans but a poor host for R. reniformis Baladi, Bez-Alanza and Fayumi were moderate hosts for all the three nematode species. The results also indicated that some of these cultivars could be considered resistant to all three nematode species (c.v Harmony), or immune to M. incognita but resistant to others (c.v. Freedom) or resistant to M. incognita only c.v. Fiesta).

A Detailed and Simplified Solution to Hydrodynamic Forces on a Submerged Tank Subject to Lateral Ground Excitation
Authors: Helou A. H.
Published: April 2023

The domain where a submerged vertical cylindrical tank exists is divided into two regions. Assuming irrational motion and an ideal fluid the Laplace s equations in both regions are solved by the method of separation of variables. The integral equation resulting from matching the potentials at the interface is solved numerically by the Galerkin method. It is shown that the mathematical labor is greatly reduced by dropping the surface effects and the results are in good agreement with those obtained by including surface effects albeit at higher values of excitation frequencies. The case of protruding cylinder is presented to further illustrate the simplicity of the solution.

Published: April 2023

Trace metal concentrations in spring-water of a number of springs around Nablus have been determined. Samples of these waters were taken during November and December of 1985, acidefied with HNO3 to pH 1.5 and then analyzed for their content of lead, copper, zinc, nickel, iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium and hydrogen ions. The method of analysis used was flame atomic absorption spectroscopy with an acetylene -air flame. Hydrogen ion concentration was measured using pH-meter The results showed very low concentrations (well below the safe limits) of lead copper, zinc, nickel, iron and manganese. The pH of the samples studied was within the allowed range. High concentrations of magnesium were found in many samples ; but not high enough to cause a risk. The concentration of calcium in almost all the samples studied was very high and higher than the allowed limit. The use of these waters is harmful to industry and house-hold equipment and probably has an influence in developing kidney stones in persons having the potential for developing kidney stones.

Authors: Al-Subu M. M.
Published: April 2023

The kinetics of oxidation of diallylamine by hexacyanoferrate (III) in alkaline aqueous ethanol at constant ionic strength has been studied. The rate of the reaction was dependent on the first power of the concentration of diallylamine, but was independent of hexacyanoferrate (III) concentration. The rate was enhanced by an increase in the pH value The effects of added hexacyanoferrate (II), ionic strength, types of anion and cation, and the solvent composition have also been investigated. The activation parameters were evaluated. A mechanism consistent with the kinetic results is proposed and discussed.

Authors: Abu-Qaoud Hassan , Alkoni Rae'd
Published: April 2023

The effects of different seed treatments on the germination percentage and rate of Gundelia tournefortii seeds were studied. Seeds were collected from Jamaeen area near Nablus city. The normal healthy seeds were separated from small shrinked seed and used in the different trails. Three experiments were conducted in which the effect of presoaking, scarification and stratification on the seed germination was investigated. The higher germination percentage (48%) was obtained when the outer seed coat was removed after the seeds were presoaked in water. This percentage was highly significant than other results obtained with the other treatments. The use of concentrated sulfuric acid for 15 and 30 minutes to tender the seed coat didn't increase the germination percentage of the treated seeds over that of the control Similar effects was also exhibited when the seeds were soaked in hot water for different intervals. Cold stratification at 4-5' didn't significantly increase the germination percentage of the seeds.
Numerical demonstration of SiC trench MOSFET with integrated heterojunction diode for enhanced performance
Authors: Wang Lihao , Jia Yunpeng , Zhou Xintian , Zhao Yuanfu , Hu Dongqing , Wu Yu , Deng Zhonghan
Published: April 2023

In this paper, a novel SiC trench-gate MOSFET with integrated heterojunction diode (HD-TG-MOS) is proposed and studied according to TCAD simulations. The n-type polysilicon/n-type SiC HD is introduced into the groove by the direct contact between the polysilicon and semiconductor. As a result, significant improvements of device performance in the first and third quadrants are observed as compared to the conventional SiC trench-gate MOSFET (C-TG-MOS). Better yet, aided by the extremely low barrier height across the heterojunction, the knee voltage reduces to only 0.5 V with comparison of that of ∼2.7 V for the body diode, when used for reverse freewheeling. These promotions make SiC HD-TG-MOS more advantageous for HF power conversion applications. In addition, another cell architecture variant adopting a similar concept is presented, and the according process implementation is addressed as well from viewpoint of manufacture.
Vectorial Doppler complex spectrum and its application to the rotational detection
Authors: Quan Shuxian , Chen Ling , Wu Siyao , Zhang Baocheng
Published: April 2023

Based on vectorial polarized fields of light applied to detect the rotational velocity by the rotational Doppler effect, we propose a method to measure the magnitude and direction of the rotational velocity simultaneously for a general rotating surface. When the rotational surface is rough, the scattered vectorial Doppler signal spectrum is complex. In this paper, we make complex spectrum analyses using the orbital angular momentum modal expansion method and measure the rotational velocity in the experiment.
Nonlocal orbital torques in magnetic multilayers
Authors: Taniguchi Mari , Hayashi Hiroki , Soya Nozomi , Ando Kazuya
Published: April 2023

We investigate current-induced torques in Ni/Ti/Fe/Ti multilayers. In the multilayers, we find that the damping-like torque acting on the Ni magnetization increases with the thickness of the bottom Ti layer, despite the negligible spin Hall conductivity of Ti and the presence of the Fe interlayer that effectively absorbs the transverse spins. The nonlocal nature of the observed torque is consistent with the orbital torque arising from the orbital Hall effect in the Ti layer and orbital transport through the Fe layer. This observation highlights the unique features of the orbital currents, offering enhanced flexibility in the design of spintronic devices.
TALAK DAN IDDAH DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR'AN DAN HADIS
Authors: Hasanudin Hasanudin
Published: April 2023

Talak dan iddah sebagai kedua bagian yang dijelaskan dalam Islam, tentunya telah mendapatkan legalitas oleh syara'. Dasar pensyariatan hukum talak dan iddah tersebut terdapat dalam al-Quran dan Sunnah, serta telah disepakati oleh Ulama dalam bentuk ijma' terhadap legalitasnya. Perceraian merupakan pintu sempit “emergency exit”. Juga perceraian (talak) merupakan satu-satunya yang dihalalkan namun dibenci Allah swt. Sebab; pertama, talak membatalkan ikatan pernikahan suci yang telah diistilahkan al-Qur'an dengan "mîthâqan ghalîza". Kedua, talak dihalalkan adalah sebagai wujud penghargaan Islam terhadap manusia. Iddah adalah nama masa tunggu tertentu bagi seorang wanita guna mengetahui kekosongan rahimnya. Kekosongan tersebut bisa diketahui dengan kelahiran, hitungan bulan, atau dengan hitungan quru’ (masa suci). Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk memastikan ada tidaknya kehamilan pada istri yang telah dicerai, khususnya dalam kasus 'iddah cerai, iddah dimaksudkan untuk memberikan kemungkinan terjadinya rujuk kepada istri. Juga tidak kalah penting fungsi dengan adanya iddah adalah ta’abbud yang tidak bisa dirubah dengan seiring perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi (IPTEK).
MARRIAGE AND INHERITANCE LAW IN THE LAW OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN
Authors: Shiddiq Muhammad Nur
Published: April 2023

This paper discusses the reform of Islamic law, especially family law in the Indian and Pakistani legal systems. The merger between India and Pakistan in this paper is based on the historical fact that at first the two countries were a country that was colonized by the British, until finally Pakistan chose to secede, and became a republic with the name of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. By using a literature study, this paper finds information that India and Pakistan are moderate in carrying out reforms in family law, but not as liberal as some other Muslim countries. The finding of this paper is that, India and Pakistan generaly carry out Islamic family law reforms that are almost the same. This could be because both in the pre-independence period were one country. In addition, because the majority of the population of these two countries adheres to the mazhab Hanafi.

This paper examines the interpretation of the Qur’an about the differences between men and women in the Qur’an from a gender perspective. Especially what is stated in the letter Ali Imran verse 36, using the tahlili method by using gender as a tools of analysis to analyze the interpretation of the Qur’an which textually mentions the differences between men and women. The goal is to understand what the meaning of the verses is. This paper is a literature review, by examining several books of interpretation which are still an important reference in Indonesia, either as books of educational teachings materials in Pesantren or books of interpretation which are references for scientific works. The result of this study indicate that the verse still has harmony with the concept of gender which means that men and women have equality in carrying out any activity, especially in worship. It can even be understood from the story of Sayyidah Maryam, which in essence she is no different from the chosen men who are equally allowed to guard Baitul Maqdis. Therefore, the Qur’an has given an encouragement to all Muslims to increase their deeds of worships without discriminating against gender.

Published: April 2023

Стаття присвячена аналізу динаміки особливостей самоставлення молоді юнацького віку. Для вивчення особливостей ставлення досліджуваних до себе застосовувався тест-опитувальник самоставлення. Учасниками дослідження були школярі-старшокласники і студенти. Самоставлення визначається як релятивно ієрархізована емоційно-ціннісна система, що посідає особливе місце в системі ставлень, забезпечує єдність і цілісність особистості та впливає на формування смислового вектору її життєвого простору. Встановлено, що глобальне самоставлення в юнацькому віці має високий рівень вираженості, характерними є позитивне ставлення до себе, схвалення себе у цілому, висока позитивна самооцінка, емоційне самоприйняття. Показано, що на фоні загального емоційно позитивного самосприйняття, інтересу до свого внутрішнього світу, у досліджуваних актуалізуються потреби самопізнання й саморозуміння, а у процесі набуття зрілості, як особистісної, так і професійної, відбувається оволодіння способами й інструментами самопізнання і саморозвитку.

Published: April 2023

Coupled dynamical systems, especially those comprised of hysteretic elements, possess remarkable behavioral similarities to some aspects of neural activity in living systems. While some features of this similarity have been explored, the results have not yet been leveraged to improve machine learning techniques or artificial neural networks. In this work, a dynamical system of coupled overdamped bistable elements subject to a noise floor assists in information transfer. With the noise allowing the system elements to switch randomly between their stable states, the system response is quantified via a steady state probability distribution. A simple five element realization of this network is used to produce the analog equivalent of an XOR gate, an “XOR transform”, through the proper choice of coupling coefficients and controllable external biases. The demonstration of the XOR transform indicates the ability of the system to synthesize more general functions, a necessary prerequisite for machine learning and computing applications. Finally, a silicon implementation is proposed and simulated using a verified process model that could be fabricated to generate a working analog computing system.
STBC-Enabled Secure Wireless Transmission with Cooperative Devices under Imperfect CSI of Destination
Authors: Shen Tianji , Hama Yuto , Ochiai Hideki
Published: April 2023

 In this work, we investigate a practical secure multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless transmission of information from a source to a destination assisted by cooperative devices. In the first phase, a space-time block code (STBC) is employed; thus, the source does not require any channel state information (CSI). In the second phase, the cooperative devices are divided into two groups, depending on whether they serve for relaying or jamming. Based on the imperfect CSI toward the destination, the devices allocated to the relay group assist the source in forwarding information, whereas those within the jamming group send artificial noise (AN) so as to prevent the eavesdropper from receiving information. Furthermore, the system utilizes two grouping strategies, referred to as random and adaptive. In the former case the role (relaying or jamming) of each device is predetermined randomly, whereas in the latter case it is determined autonomously depending on the decoding results. We analyze the outage probability of our proposed system with and without power allocation optimization under the assumption of imperfect CSI at the cooperative devices, and their accuracy is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Published: April 2023

Властивості текстильних матеріалів беруться до уваги при виготовленні різних видів одягу, адже від них буде залежати, як виріб буде поводитися під час експлуатації. Швейні вироби, які мають складний силует або схильні до частої експлуатації, повинні бути формостійкими. Сучасні текстильні матеріали орієнтовані на тканини з абсолютно різним волокнистим складом. Змішані текстильні матеріали характеризуються поліпшеними властивостями, що відповідають сьогоднішнім вимогам ринку. У статті охарактеризовано основні закономірності структурних характеристик текстильних матеріалів із використанням нитки еластан. Розглянуто критерії підвищення формостійкості змішаних текстильних матеріалів шляхом цілеспрямованого підбору у волокнистий склад нитки еластан. Проаналізовано властивості текстильних матеріалів побутового призначення, які мають велике значення при оцінці якості швейного одягу та визначають здатність зберігати форму, чинити опір деформаціям згину, а також визначати його формостійкість. Запропоновано методику проектування формостійкості тканин із використанням нитки еластан платтяно-костюмного призначення. Доведено та обґрунтовано доцільність застосування нитки еластан у змішаних текстильних матеріалах, що дозволяє надати цим тканинам високих ефектів незминальності та малоусадковості при одночасному збереженні їх формостійкості та зносостійкості. Встановлено, що нитки еластан докорінно змінюють у першу чергу функціональні властивості одягу, покращуючи, крім комфортності, такі принципово важливі показники, як драпірування, незминальність, зносостійкість. При цьому особливий вплив високоеластичні тканини чинять на формувальні здатності текстильних матеріалів, адже істотно змінюють їх деформаційні характеристики. Розвиток наукових основ волокнистого складу та будови змішаних тканин дозволив теоретично й експериментально підтвердити нову концепцію проектування структури з урахуванням їх споживних властивостей і умов експлуатації готових швейних виробів.

Твердий сир – один з найпопулярніших продуктів харчування у світі. Розробка нових видів продуктів, в яких частково або повністю тваринний білок замінений рослинним, і розширення асортименту сирних продуктів з рослинної сировини з високою біологічною та харчовою цінністю і відмінними сенсорними властивостями є актуальним завданням для виробників молочної продукції. Метою даної роботи було дослідити можливість коригування рецептур сирів за рахунок додавання рослинних білків та визначити вплив соєвих білків на функціонально-технологічні та органолептичні властивості сирних продуктів. З метою підвищення біологічної та харчової цінності сиру, при виробництві дослідних зразків сиру було використано ізолят соєвого білку (ІСБ) в кількості 5% та 10%. За контроль взято рецептуру і технологію виробництва сиру «Качотта». Дослідні зразки сирів були виготовлені на експериментальній сироварні кафедри технології та безпечності Сумського НАУ з використанням сировини і матеріалів, які відповідають вимогам чинних стандартів. Сир виготовляли за традиційною технологічною схемою виробництва сиру «Качотта». В дослідних зразках відмінністю є початкова ферментативна обробка (гідроліз) соєвих білків, що покращує коагуляцію молочно-соєвої суміші – утворенню сирного згустку. При гідролізі соєвих білків також утворюються пептиди та амінокислоти, які формують кращі комплекси з міцелами казеїну. В дослідних зразках сирів визначали рН, вміст сухих речовин, вміст білку, вміст жиру та солі за загально прийнятими методиками. що збільшення кількості внесення соєвого білку сприяє збільшенню вмісту білкових речовин в готовому сирі. При цьому, знаючи про амінокислотний склад білків сої та молока, можна передбачити, що підвищується біологічна цінність дослідних зразків сирів. Дослідні зразки сирів продемонстрували максимально наближені до контрольного зразка типові бажані сенсорні характеристики напівтвердого сиру «Качотта». Однак, зразок з вмістом ІСБ 5% перевершує за оцінками зразок з вмістом ІСБ 10% за показниками, як однорідність кольору та структури, присутність вершкового смаку і запаху, відсутність гіркого, трав’янистого запаху, а також ледь відчутного соєвого смаку. Таким чином, за органолептичною оцінкою при виробництві сиру рекомендований вміст соєвого білка 5%, що дозволяє отримати продукт з відмінними сенсорними показниками і підвищеною біологічною цінністю.

Однією з ключових причин захворювань є мікробна контамінація продуктів. Вказано на необхідність створення нових ефективних засобів знезараження широкого спектра дії, які не завдають шкоди довкіллю. Відзначено, що для збереження матеріалів та виробів, що контактують із харчовими продуктами, у Європейському Союзі є низка обов’язкових норм, закріплених у правових актах. Розглянуті різні дієві аспекти забезпечення безпечності технологічних процесів харчових виробництв та громадського харчування, принципи встановлення і застосування мікробіологічних критеріїв для харчових продуктів. У системі засобів боротьби з інфекціями та їх неспецифічної профілактики провідне місце займає дезінфекція, яка орієнтована на припинення передачі збудників інфекційних захворювань методом знищення або вилучення патогенних та умовно патогенних мікроорганізмів із навколишнього середовища. Наведено аналіз хімічних речовин, що застосовуються в дезінфекційній практиці, вимоги до застосування нових дезінфікуючих хімічних речовин. Рекомендовано новий дезінфікуючий і миючий продукт «Дезолон», описані його основні характеристики. Проаналізовано дезінфікуючі засоби, головними діючими речовинами яких є спирти, четвертинні амонієві сполуки, феноли, хлорактивні і йодактивні сполуки, оцтова кислота, формальдегід, полігексаметиленгуанідин гідрохлорид (гуадин). Показана технологія отримання та застосування електрохімічно активованих розчинів (ЕХАР) для забезпечення безпечності харчової продукції і харчового виробництва. Аноліт ефективно дезінфікує патогенні мікроорганізми на обробних дошках та знищує Enterobacter aerogenes та S. aureus на різних поверхнях обладнання, не викликаючи пошкодження нержавіючої сталі. Дослідження механізмів впливу метастабільних ЕХАР на різні харчові та водні системи дозволить розробити нові підходи до забезпечення якості, біологічної безпеки та підвищення ефективності виробництва споживчих товарів.
