JUSTIFICATION OF A RATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR A FOOD ADDITIVE BASED ON VIBURNUM SEEDS

Abstract

The use of composites based on secondary material resources allows for the enrichment of food products by replacing the main raw material with a food additive containing high-value ingredients that can be technologically and economically reused in production. Viburnum seeds are a typical example of an extremely useful secondary raw material that requires the development of technological solutions to utilize the full range of its beneficial properties. Based on an analysis of the physical, chemical, and technological properties of viburnum seeds, and taking into account a rational approach to the selection of equipment, the paper presents the physical principles of grinding this food system to produce a high-quality food additive. Recommendations for knife grinders have been substantiated in terms of grinding quality control due to the optimal moisture content of the processed raw materials and the equipment operation techniques.
