Published: September 2023

An essential component of visual communication design is typography. Moreover, research on typography has been done in the past from both the standpoints of study and creation. Yet, there has never been research done on examining the development trend of studies on the subject of typography. Therefore, the following research questions were addressed: (1) What are the trends in research productivity regarding to typography topics based on year, publication source, affiliation, country, citation, and authorship from year to year? and (2) How is the development of research themes regarding to typography research from year to year? To conducted the research question, this research used the bibliometric method. Based on the keyword "typography" in the Scopus database, the information was retrieved, then examined and visualized using the Vos Viewer. The study's findings indicate that there has been a noticeable increase in typographic research from 1854 to 2022 in the Scopus database. Tiny nodes show up as a result of the co-occurrence visualization, indicating that there are still unique potential for research on typography-related issues. In the eight clusters, these tiny nodes are dispersed outside of the big nodes (red, green, blue, yellow, orange, brown, light blue, and purple clusters). Research possibilities with typography topics that contain the novelty can also be produced from new research that has been indexed in the Scopus database, in addition to being based on these tiny nodes.

Published: September 2023

Motives: The main manifestation of suburbanisation, which is crucial process shaping settlement system in Poland, are suburbs, whose spatial expansion and qualitative characteristics lead to the formation of new functional and spatial structures between the central city and its surroundings. In this sense, the process of suburbanisation is closely related to metropolisation, i.e. the growing importance in the economy of large urban regions or, more broadly, urbanised systems.Aim: The purpose of this study is to trace the spatial policy of the communes making up the Bydgoszcz–Toruń Metropolitan Area (BTMA) concerning entries in their strategic and planning documents indicating the degree of metropolitan links.Results: It was shown that these records would determine further actions affecting the advancement of the metropolisation process in urban region of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship. Against the strategic and planning documents background, the vision for the creation of the Bydgoszcz–Toruń Metropolitan Area, present in the narrative of the two major cities, is quite different. It seems it will complicate the metropolisation process in the region.

Ways to improve land assessment methods in Azerbaijan
Authors: Valiyev Akif Hamza , Mirzayev Natig Sarhad
Published: September 2023

Motives: The article examines various approaches to improving the assessment of agricultural land in Azerbaijan. The quality, potential productivity, and normative price (value in monetary terms) of farmland need to be determined to increase production and competitiveness of agricultural products, to establish favourable land relations that meet modern requirements, and to promote efficient land use. The existing methods of assessing the quality and economic value of farmland for the needs of the land cadastre and determining the normative prices of land do not fully correspond to reality. Different and often contradictory approaches to land assessment have been proposed.Aim: The aim of this study was to optimize the methods of assessing the quality and economic value of agricultural land, determining the normative prices of land, and evaluating potential land productivity in view of modern requirements.Results: Improvements in land valuation will promote reliable assessments of agricultural development and the establishment of efficient farming systems; they will improve agricultural land-use efficiency and reliable determination of normative prices in market transactions involving agricultural property. These methods can be widely used to plan agricultural production, evaluate the operations of various types of farms, improve remuneration policies in the farming sector, determine the optimal scope of farming operations in view of natural conditions and economic factors, and resolve other issues to promote the development of agricultural production.

Published: September 2023

Dengue fever is a viral infection that spreads from infected mosquitoes to humans. This is a leading cause for most of the deaths in the tropical and subtropical areas around the globe. Dengue virus spread has risen largely in urban and semi-urban areas. This has become a main public health concern problem in the world. Dengue virus was discovered in early 1950s in Sri Lanka. Country experienced several outbreaks of dengue until the disease became endemic in 1989. In the early stages dengue was considered as a sporadic disease. Most of the dengue patients were found in Colombo. The human population was high in Colombo at that time. The number of infected patients exponentially increased in the year 1989. This happens in a severe form. The highest incident was informed in the year 2017. It was reported as 186,101 patients and 440 deaths [3]. The majority of reported from Colombo and Gampaha districts [3]. Gampaha is another district with a higher human population. Now, dengue is one of the noticeable among epidemic diseases in find in children and adults admitted to hospitals. Rapid urbanization is one of the key reasons that worsens dengue disease. Dengue has become significantly noticeable in other districts in Sri Lanka.
Intention-behavior gap in greener consumption among young Sri Lankan consumers
Authors: Kosgoda D.
Published: September 2023

In today’s world, we heavily rely on natural resources for activities, business, and survival. We are consuming resources at an unsustainable rate. However, our planet can only produce a finite number of resources and can only withstand a certain degree of greenhouse gas emissions. With the unbearable increase in natural resource consumption and green gas emissions, we are forced to experience various global challenges including climate change, desertification, lack of resources, loss of biodiversity, land degradation, etc. There is a burgeoning movement to adopt sustainable practices to mitigate these adverse consequences. Some companies have even developed sustainability programs, guidelines and plans to achieve sustainable goals [1]. Specifically, people are moving towards green consumption. As a result, studies on green consumption have emerged as a significant new frontier over the past few years attracting attention from both academics and professionals.

Published: September 2023

Bird flight has intrigued human minds ever since the Stone Age. Paintings in Lascaux cave in France are considered the oldest representation of birds in flight made by early ancestors of humans. The ability to fly has been interpreted as a divine power by some cultures which proceeded to include wings in drawings and sculptures of their deities. In the Renaissance period, Polymaths like Leonardo Da Vinci studied birds and their motion in detail. His codex of birds mentions the objective of this study as to develop a human-powered flying machine. Even, the Wright brothers used warping wings in their flight tests mimicking the flight patterns of birds. The wing and fuselage design of fixed-wing aircraft from the earliest versions to modern jet-powered airliners is directly inspired by the bio-mechanics of large birds. However, with the success of fixed-wing aircraft, the flapping wing concepts saw declining interest as a viable design option for air vehicles. During this time, the aerodynamics of bird wings was only studied in fundamental science to answer the questions on their aerodynamic performance. However, the popularization of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) renewed the interest in bird-inspired air vehicles with flapping wings as a possible design.

Published: September 2023

Weathering and durability are the key properties of the rock to evaluate the suitability and end-use for different kinds of applications such as building and construction material and engineering structures. Weathering is simply known as the alteration or breaking down of rocks due to air, water, etc. whereas durability of rock can be defined as the ability to resist the weathering to maintain the characteristics of strength under various environmental conditions. To evaluate the strength of rock, the degree of weathering and durability can be used as main indicators[1] as the measure of strength depends on the external force resistance.

Cognitive disorders in patients with atrial fibrillation
Authors: Yepanchintseva O.A. , Solonovych A.S. , Solonovych O.S.
Published: September 2023

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias, and its prevalence increases with age. Cognitive impairment (CI) is a frequent concomitant disorder in AF and is an additional factor in reducing the quality of life and adherence to treatment in such patients. AF is associated with an increased risk of dementia in patients with and without history of stroke. It is well known that AF and CI share common risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, coronary heart disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, etc. The available data show that AF and CI have common pathophysiological factors, which, in addition to stroke, include hypoperfusion, microhemorrhages, brain atrophy, systemic atherosclerotic vascular damage, endothelial dysfunction, and inflammation. Screening neuropsychological scales might be used to assess the state of cognitive functions in patients with AF, and contemporary neuroimaging methods allow detecting structural changes in the brain. Specific methods of treatment of CI in AF have not yet been developed. Optimal antithrombotic therapy is the main means of prevention of cerebrovascular events, and therefore CI in AF.
Predictors of cardiac conduction disorders in patients after aortic valve replacement

Published: September 2023

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the only effective method of treating aortic stenosis. However, the increasing age of operated patients also increases the surgical risks. The most common complications after aortic valve surgery are similar to those of other cardiac surgeries which include: stroke, deep sternal wound infection, re-operation due to bleeding, myocardial infarction (1–5 %). Cardiac arrhythmias that appear after AVR surgery and require permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation arise in connection with the anatomical features of the aortic valve, its pathological changes, and traumatic intervention during valve defect correction. A large number of single-center, and a few multi-center studies have been conducted to identify risk factors that could serve as predictors of need in PPM implantation after AVR. Further research in this direction is relevant. Currently there are no clear criteria allowing to identify patients with need for preventive PPM implantation before the AVR surgery due to the high probability of cardiac conduction disorders in the postoperative period. This might reduce the number of complications and reduce the length of a patient’s stay in a hospital.

Accumulation of heavy metals in groundwater system could portend adverse health consequences to users. Heavy metal content of five randomly selected hand dug wells in Ikpe community, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria was assessed between April and November 2022. The water was evaluated using standard methods and water quality indices to determine its suitability for human consumption. Eight heavy metals were evaluated using Heavy metal Pollution Index (HPI) and Comprehensive Pollution Index (CPI). The results were compared with the National drinking water standard. Results showed that chromium ranged from 0.001 to 0.20 mg/L, cadmium (0.001 - 0.008 mg/L), nickel (0.01- 0.08 mg/L), manganese (0.001- 0.6 mg/L), zinc (0.36 -1.90 mg/L), iron (0.1 - 0.8 mg/L), lead (0.001 - 0.02 mg/L) and arsenic (0.00 - 0.004 mg/L). HPI and CPI ranged between 44.62-126.30 and 0.18-1.33, respectively. Concentrations of these heavy metals exceeded acceptable limits, except lead and arsenic. The concentration of the metals from wells 2, 4 and 5 were generally higher and/or had values that exceeded acceptable limits. This could be attributed with geogenic and anthropogenic influences as well as the general conditions of the wells and their environment. The water quality indices (HPI and CPI) showed varying levels of heavy metal pollution in line with the heavy metal concentrations. Consequently, it can be concluded that water from wells 2, 4 and 5 is not suitable for human consumption, and it can be used for other purposes.

Authors: Saputra Rizki , Bequet Angga Yosainto
Published: September 2023

Background: The sternum's radiographic examination involves the use of Right Anterior Oblique (RAO) and Lateral projections. However, if a patient cannot undergo RAO projection, Left Posterior Oblique (LPO) projection in the supine position and adjusting the central ray angle are alternatives. On another note, deviations from perpendicular alignment among the central ray, image receptor, and object can lead to distortions in shape, impacting image quality. Hence, a study is conducted to investigate the impact of beam angle variations on the quality of anatomical information in sternum radiographs to identify the optimal angle that yields the highest quality anatomical information in sternum radiographs. Methods: This research was quantitative research employing an experimental methodology. Data collection involved employing a single-body phantom, which underwent three exposures at each of the specified angle variations Results: Based on the results of the Kruskal Wallis test, there were significant differences in the quality of radiographic anatomic information (p value 0.05). The angle with the most optimal quality of radiographic anatomical information was an angle of 25° to the left with a mean rank value of 11.00. Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the quality of radiographic anatomic information (p value 0.05). The angle with the most optimal quality of radiographic anatomic information was the angle with the highest mean rank value, which was an angle of 25° to the left.

On the basis of - chlordecoxymethyl ether and chlorazone, the compound N4, N5-di (N1’, N1'-
didodesoxymethylazon-N'-monododesoxymethylazone) diphenylcarbazone (comp. KB-4)
containing 6 groups С12Н25ОCH2, 16 nitrogen atoms, 6 groups С6Н5, 4 azonyl groups. During
the study, it was found that these new compounds have both economic and environmental highperformance
inhibitory properties. Under laboratory conditions, the anti-corrosion inhibitory
effectiveness of the KB-4 compound was determined. In the study of 0.20; 0.25; 0.5 mg/l
concentrations of compound KB-4, its inhibitory efficiency was 99.96-100%. From an
environmental and economic point of view, this compound is several times more effective than
the inhibitors currently used in the oil and gas and petrochemical industries to protect steel
process equipment in the most aggressive environments. Thus, the use of a new guanidine
derivative compound KB-4 for corrosion protection of steel process equipment in the oil and
gas and petrochemical industries can be considered scientifically substantiated.

Published: September 2023

Periphyton, which forms a biological cover by accumulating a large number of organisms, develops in large quantities in the underwater parts of ships and hydraulic structures, causing serious damage to facilities, especially maritime. Thus, periphyton organisms, which choose the submarine part of the ship as a substrate, cause the surface of the ship to be eroded and the speed of the ship to decrease by up to 50%. Therefore, the article investigates the use of varnish-based coatings based on urea-modified resorcinol formaldehyde soligomers to protect marine equipment and facilities from corrosion. For comparison, parallel studies were performed for both modified and unmodified resorcinol-formaldehyde oligomers. One of the main reasons for using the modified resorcinol-formaldehyde oligomer as a mask is the increased resistance to oil and gasoline at high temperatures. The optimum temperature for the synthesis of urea-resorcinol-formaldehyde soligomer was determined as 70ºC. Below this temperature, the amount of target product decreases, and at higher temperatures, the amount of
soluble fraction decreases as the production process progresses. Changing the amount of modifier affects the speed and output of the process. When the amount of final product at 70°C ranges from 0.01 to 0.05 moles of urea, the yield ranges from 65,18 to 80,27%. In this case, the productivity of the soluble fraction decreases, the amount of the insoluble fraction increases. A comparative analysis of the main parameters of the urea-resorcinol-formaldehyde soligomer with that of the resorcinol-formaldehyde oligomer shows that the molecular weight, hardness, viscosity, density and softening temperature of the soligomer increase when the optimal amount of urea is 0.03 mol.

Application of Local Species for Sustainable Phytoremediation
Authors:   Department of Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand, Ariyakanon Naiyanan
Published: September 2023

Phytoremediation is green technology based on the application of plants to remediate contaminated media. This paper reviews five species of local plants used for phytoremediation in Thailand: Pteris vittata L., Pityrogramma calomelanos L., Chrysopogon zizanioides L., Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms, and Pistia stratiotes L. For each plant, its pollutant removal efficiency and mechanism is reviewed. The main mechanisms of phytoremediation, such as phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization, phytodegradation, rhizodegradation, and phyto-volatilization, are concisely described. Screening local plants for phytoremediation is a cost-effective and easy to manage approach to derive suitable plants that are resistant to harmful environmental conditions. To be suitable, plants should have a fast growth rate, produce a large biomass yield, have a high tolerance to the toxic effects of the pollutants, and have a good capacity for pollutant uptake. Moreover, applying the proper species for each contaminant enhances the removal efficiency and supports sustainable phytoremediation.

A jelenben, ha egy képet megosztunk, ha egy posztot kiírunk, vagy elfogadjuk azokat a bizonyos „cookie” beállításokat, minden mozdulatunk és érdeklődési körünk lekövethető. A technológia fejlődése megteremtette azt a különleges helyzetet, hogy a felelőtlen, nem biztonságtudatos felhasználók nagyon könnyen lekövethetővé és lehallgathatóvá váltak. Kutatásom célja az OSINT-eszközök és az infokommunikációs technológiák komplex vizsgálata katonai aspektusokban. Jelenleg csak nagyon szűk körben vizsgált terület hazánkban a nyílt forrású információszerzés, ennek megfelelően ez ösztönzött arra, hogy ezzel a területtel foglalkozzam. Előzetes elemzéseim alapján (jellemzően nemzetközi szakirodalmak vizsgálatával) arra a következtetésre jutottam, hogy az OSINT-tevékenységeknek egyre nagyobb hatása lesz a katonai műveletekre, így kiemelten fontosnak tartom egy ilyen irányú kutató elemző munka végrehajtását. Kutatási kérdéseimen keresztül tematikusan építettem fel a megállapításokat, amelyeknek részleteit a kutatás első felében ismertetem.

Nota, tarih boyunca müziği yazabilmek ve aktarabilmek için kullanılmış önemli bir vasıtadır. Ancak Türk Mûsikîsinin aslî karakteri göz önüne alındığında notanın bâzı zorluklar ortaya çıkardığı da görülmektedir. Bu zorluklar Türk Mûsikîsinde nota kullanımının yaygınlaşmamış olmasının en büyük sebeplerindendir. Tarih boyunca Türk Mûsikîsinde geleneğin “meşk” denilen özgün bir yöntemle gerçekleştirilmiş olması bu yüzden olmalıdır. Meşk, öğretici ve öğrenici arasında birebir etkileşime ve hâfızada tutmaya dayalı bir öğretim sistemidir. Türk Mûsikîsi için sanılanın aksine kolaylaştırıcı olan bu yöntem, meşk halkalarının zayıflamasıyla çeşitli zorluklara yol açmıştır. Meşkin ortadan kalkmasıyla oluşan boşluğu doldurmak için birçok farklı sistemde müzik yazıları kullanılmıştır. Birbirinden farklı özellikleri bulunan bu notaların bugün kullanılan nota sistemine çevrilebilmesi için titizlikle incelenmeleri gerekmektedir. Türk Mûsikîsi geleneğinin önemli aktarıcılarından biri olan, Galata ve Üsküdar Mevlevîhâneleri neyzenbaşısı Emîn Dede’nin Hamparsum sistemiyle yazdığı defterlerin incelenmesi; geleneğin anlaşılması ve eserlerin gelenekteki gibi icrâ‘ edilebilmesi açısından çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Emîn Dede’nin taksîm defterinin içeriği hakkında bilgiler verilmektedir.
OTİZM SPEKTRUM BOZUKLUĞU OLAN ÇOCUKLARDA TEKRARLAYAN DAVRANIŞLARIN SOSYAL ETKISI ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRK KÜLTÜRÜNE UYARLANMASI: GEÇERLİLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Nevill ve arkadaşlarının (2020) geliştirdiği Otizmli Çocuklarda Tekrarlayan Davranışların Sosyal Etkisi ölçeğini Türkçe’ye uyarlamaktır. Araştırma bir özel otizm rehabilitasyon merkezinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada Ölçek uyarlaması işlemlerinden ‘Geri çeviri’ yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Bu çeviri İngilizce-Türkçe, Türkçe-İngilizce olarak dil uzmanlarına yaptırıldı. Gelen dönütlerde maddelerin uygun olup olmadığı sorulduğundan orijinal ölçek 48 madde ve 2 alt boyuttan oluşmaktayken, nihai ölçek madde yapısı 23 madde ve 2 alt boyut şeklinde oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan bu çalışmada 273 ebeveyne ölçek formu doldurularak faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin başka dilde geçerlilik güvenirliliği yapıldığından, Türkçe uyarlamasında açıklayıcı faktör analizine (AFA) gerek olmadığına ve sadece doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılması yeterliliği literatürde belirtilmektedir. Yapılan birinci düzey DFA’da ölçek yapısının doğrulandığı görülmektedir. Ölçeğin güvenirliği açısından Cronbach Alpha Katsayısı; Tekrarlayan Davranış Sıklığı boyutu .91, Tekrarlayan Davranışların Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi boyutu .92 ve genel olarak ölçekteki Cronbach Alpha Katsayısı .93 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar ile Otizmli Çocuklarda Tekrarlayan Davranışların Sosyal Etkisi ölçeğinin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu söylenebilir.

Klasik metinlerde yaygın olarak kullanılan kimi ibareler zaman içerisinde işlenme sürecine bağlı olarak çeşitli anlamlar kazanmışlardır. Temel anlamları dışındaki bu karşılıklar benzetme temelinden hareketle oluşabildiği gibi kelime/ibarenin belli bir kurgu içerisinde tekrar etmesi yoluyla da ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Klasik Türk şiirinde sevgilinin saçı ifade edilirken kullanılan pek çok kelimeye niteleyici başka ifadeler de eklenmiş, bu yapılardan bir kısmı diğerlerine oranla daha çok tercih edilmiştir. Manzum metinlerde “sevgilinin saçı” anlamında ve diğer tercihlere nazaran sıklık olarak daha çok karşılaşılan yapılardan biri “zülf-i nigâr” terkibidir. Bu çalışmada “zülf-i nigâr” terkibinin temel karşılığı korunmakla birlikte farklı bir anlam ilgisinin bulunduğu ve metinlerde bu yönüyle de kullanıldığı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. “Sevgilinin saçı” karşılığındaki bu terkibin, güzellik unsurlarının ifadesinde uygun bir mahal/mekân olan bahçe ve bahçedeki unsurlarla yoğun olarak bir arada bulunduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Terkibin “sümbül çiçeğinin bir çeşidi” olarak belirlenen anlamı, bahçe unsurları ile olan bu birlikteliğinin neticesinde ortaya çıkmış görünmektedir. Tespit edilen tanıklardan hareketle 16. yüzyıl metinlerinde terkibin bu anlamının bilindiğini ve örneklendirildiğini görmek mümkündür. Terkibin “bir sümbül çeşidi/bir çiçek ismi” anlamının belirlenmesinde özellikle mısra/beyit içerisindeki ikili kullanımlar ve edebî sanatların etkili olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.

In this paper, we considered the possibility of Mongolian speech recognition using a neural network. At the same time, we applied a method with highlighting the syllable of a recognizable word, since in the Mongolian language words are formed by adding a suffix to its root. And the method of extracting the syllable of a word allows you to reduce the size of the database, since there is no need to save the features of each word. The neural network was trained using the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, which is more stable and faster when working with a small database. The experiment used 4 words of the Mongolian language with one or two syllables. The words were written directly into the computer using the Matlab software. The speakers who voiced these words are 11 people, men and women of different ages. Of these, 1 person aged 20–30 years, 7 people aged 30–40 years and 3 people aged 60–70 years. In addition, the neural network recognizes the area in speech where the noise occurs in order to distinguish and separate the speech area from the noise. The trained network recognizes the words of the Mongolian language by syllables from the database with a probability of 96.5 %.

Analysis of iron loss of a BLDC motor is of particular interest at the design stage or when researching methods to improve energy efficiency. Most of the existing methods for determining losses in steel are based on the analysis of losses for individual harmonic components of induction with their subsequent summation. However, the application of these methods for various forms of voltage obtained at the output of the converter is incorrect due to the non-linearity of magnetic circuits. This paper proposes a method for determining steel losses of BLDC motor using a linear approximation of voltage pulses, which makes it possible to take into account the influence of the voltage shape on the magnitude of magnetic induction directly, without expansion into a Fourier series. The dependences of steel losses on the switching frequency for various values of the duty cycle, and on the rise time of voltage pulses are obtained. Comparison of the simulation results of the 5 kW BLDC Motor with the experimental data of the idling mode given by the manufacturer proved the adequacy of the considered method.

This study is devoted to the synthesis of various ensembles on the basis of graphene oxide nanolayers and dihydropyrimidines and the investigation of their antimicrobial activity. The “building blocks” of ensembles, viz dihydropyrimidines were synthesized by the Biginelli reaction in the presence of low-toxic copper triflate under microwave conditions. The positive side of the reaction is the absence of any additional purification stage, formed after cooling the solution precipitate just washed with a few amount of distilled water. The structures of synthesized compounds were determined by 1H, 13C and dept135 NMR spectroscopy methods. The second component, viz graphene oxide nanolayers, was synthesized by a modified Hummer method. The modification of the method is caused by the increasing of the oxidizing agent (H2SO4+KMnO4) concentration, which allowed to receive purier nanolayers. The structure and morphology of nanolayers were investigated by SEM and XRD methods, according to which it was determined that the thickness of nanolayers is 1 nm. Subsequently, graphene oxide was modified with dihydropyrimidines. The synthesis of ensembles was performed by non-covalent coupling of dihydropyrimidines with graphene oxide nanolayers by sonication. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of ensembles against S. aureus, Ps. aeruginosa and E. coli was performed. Obtained during the analysis results were compared with the activity of pristine antibiotic ampicillin. It was found that the addition of graphene oxide nanolayers to the dihydropyrimidine molecule allowed to improve the antimicrobial activity of dihydropyrimidines

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПОЛІМОРФНИХ ПЕРЕТВОРЕНЬ ТРИГЛІЦЕРИДІВ ЖИРУ З МЕТОЮ ПОЛІПШЕННЯ ЯКОСТІ КОНДИТЕРСЬКИХ ВИРОБІВ У ПРОЦЕСІ ЗБЕРІГАННЯ

У статті наведено результати сучасних наукових досліджень щодо поліморфних перетворень у жировій фракції кондитерської продукції під час її зберігання. Значна увага зарубіжних науковців приділяється дослідженням, пов’язаним із вивченням кристалізації і трансформацією поліморфної основи в динаміці температури триацилгліцеролів на основі пальмової, лауринової кислот та олій. Будучи багатообіцяючою альтернативою какао-масла (CB), олеогелі можуть запобігти утворенню “посивіння” в шоколаді. Досліджено вплив різних добавок на уповільнення поліморфних перетворень тригліцеридів різних жирів для кондитерської галузі. Гліцериди можуть існувати в декількох поліморфних формах. Поліморфізм гліцеридів досить складний і пов’язаний із відмінностями в упаковці молекул у кристалічних структурах. Тому невеликі інтервали гліцеридів досить чутливі до змін поліморфних форм і слугують для цілей їх ідентифікації. Найбільш різноманітним є поліморфізм тригліцеридів. Поліморфні форми мають властивість переходити одна в іншу. Однак цей процес незворотний, тобто відбувається тільки у напрямку від низькоплавких і менш стабільних форм до високоплавких стабільних. Швидке охолодження розплаву жиру призводить, як правило, до утворення γ-форми. Винятком слугують лише тригліцериди, які містять кислотні радикали С10 і С12. Поліморфні перетворення здійснюються термостатуванням зразка протягом більш або менш тривалого часу за температури, близької до точки плавлення вихідної поліморфної форми. Так, для насичених тригліцеридів із γ-форми, як правило, можуть бути послідовно отримані α-, βʹ- і β-форми. Зазвичай із підвищенням ступеня чистоти зразка перехід в найбільш стабільну β-форму прискорюється. Однак є дані, які свідчать про те, що цей же ефект може бути досягнутий і додаванням окремих тригліцеридів як добавок, що уповільнюватимуть поліморфні перетворення. Вивчено поліморфні перетворення тригліцеридів кондитерського жиру, що застосовується для кондитерської продукції, дилатометричним методом. Дилатометричний метод використовують для визначення вмісту твердих гліцеридів за встановлених температур, а також для дослідження поліморфних перетворень тригліцеридів, характеристики гліцеридного складу жиру. За необхідності складання дилатометричних кривих визначення проводять послідовно за декількох температур, починаючи від найбільш низької. Потім витримують дилатометр за кожної температури до досягнення постійного рівня замикаючої рідини та зазначають показання для кожної точки. Автором статті встановлено, що борошно соєве знежирене, моногліцериди дистильовані і соєвий фосфатидний концентрат сповільнюють поліморфні перетворення в кондитерському жирі в 1,4-2,2 рази. Ці добавки можна використовувати у вигляді інгібіторів жирового “посивіння” виробів, виготовлених на основі кондитерського жиру.
