Background. Sandalwood oil is one of the most valuable raw materials worldwide. As a highly valued product, it has its own regulations based on the ISO 3518 standard, which clearly informs producers, distributors, and consumers of the requirements to be met. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of products called sandalwood oil based on the information provided by the manufacturer of the oils on Polish, German, and English websites. Methods. A Google search was utilized to collect data on sandalwood oil offered by producers and distributors in Polish and foreign markets. Information from 50 websites in each of the aforementioned languages, including the description of sandalwood oil properties on websites, method for using it, safety limitations, and presence of a product description consistent with the INCI recommendations, was gathered using Microsoft Excel software and was analyzed. The information that enabled us to estimate the quality of the oils was the botanical name of the oil-bearing plant and the price. Good-quality oils were considered to be oils with the botanical name Santalum album in the description and with a price not considerably less than the price of white sandalwood oils sold by reliable distributors who control the quality of the oils by chromatography. Ultimately, the lower price limit for one milliliter of the oil was established as PLN 21. Results and Conclusions. Good-quality sandalwood oils derived from the Santalum album plant at a price equal to or greater than the chromatographically tested items amounted to a negligible percentage of products sold online. Without knowing the botanical name of the essential oil plant and the price range of unadulterated sandalwood oil, the likelihood of buying a reliable product is low on all of the analyzed websites, with the lowest probability being observed on the Polish websites.

The ability of production for the requirement which is wanted by the consumers and owning a good enough capability but still needed some correction to achieve world class home industry


In order to address food security problems in Russia, insufficient attention is paid to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for the enrichment of agricultural lands and plants growing on them. Such technologies make it possible to purposefully bring the necessary micro and macro elements to agricultural plants, while ensuring, in turn, a significant increase in the consumer quality of agricultural products. The article discusses innovative technologies for the enrichment of agricultural land and plants growing on them, the use of which will increase the consumption of agricultural food raw materials from each hectare of arable land, as well as the quality of functional food products produced from it. This will increase the competitiveness of fortified products in the domestic and foreign markets and make an important contribution to improving the food security of the country. The analysis showed that one of the important directions of innovative developments and patents in the field of enrichment of agricultural lands and plants growing on them is the solution to the problem of providing the population of Russia and the world with regulatory requirements for micro and macro elements: iodine, selenium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, zinc, etc., as well as in vitamins by pre-sowing, root, and foliar enrichment of cereal, fruit-bearing and vegetable crops in open and in closed ground. All this, in turn, will help to provide the country's population with high-quality food products derived from enriched agricultural raw materials and increase its competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets.

Ensuring the required level of quality of products produced by textile enterprises involves not only the final (output) control of its quality indicators, but also ensuring operational control over the relevant characteristics of raw materials and semi-finished products in technological processes throughout the entire production chain of textile material. Within the framework of the functioning of the quality management system of a textile enterprise, when conducting operational monitoring of technological processes, appropriate automated technical controls are required, built with the use of modern information technologies. In this paper, in order to assess the quality of the carding process in the production of combed or carded yarn, a method is proposed for the digital study of the structural unevenness in the surface density of this type of non-woven material, based on the principle of determining the sectorial and radial characteristics for this quality indicator.

Разработана технология получения желейного мармелада повышенной биологической ценности с использованием пищевых волокон. В качестве объекта исследований выбран желейный мармелад как имеющий низкую пищевую ценность, большое до 70 количество углеводов. Для обогащения изделия использовали растворимые пищевые волокна олигосахариды в виде препарата инулина в количестве 6 по массе выхода, что соответствует характеристике изделия с высоким содержанием пищевых волокон согласно ТР ТС 022/2011. В качестве студнеобразователя использован желатин в количестве 7 к желейной массе. Определено оптимальное соотношение сахара и патоки 2 : 1 соответственно. Установлено, что при добавлении инулина в количестве 6 повышается вязкость желейной массы на 0,7 Па с, что не затрудняет процесс формования количество редуцирующих веществ увеличивается на 0,4, что не ухудшает качества изделий. Доказана возможность использования препарата инулина для обогащения желейного мармелада пищевыми волокнами и получения изделий функциональной направленности. The technology of obtaining jelly marmalade of increased biological value using dietary fibers has been developed. As an object of research, jelly marmalade was chosen as having a low nutritional value and a large amount of carbohydrates up to 70. For the enrichment of the product, soluble dietary fibers oligosaccharides in the form of the preparation of inulin were used, in the amount of 6 by weight of the yield, which corresponds to the characteristics of the product with a high content of dietary fibers according to TR CU 022/2011. Gelatin in the amount of 7 of the jelly mass was used as a gelling agent. The optimal ratio of sugar and molasses 2 : 1, respectively, determined. It was found that the addition of insulin in an amount of 6 increases the viscosity of the jelly mass by 0,7 Pa s, which does not complicate the molding process. Also, the number of reducing substances increases by 0,4, which does not worsen the quality of products. The possibility of using the preparation of inulin for the enrichment of jelly marmalade by dietary fibers and the production of functional products has been substantiated.

The range of food stuffs having a rich composition of useful substances can be greatly enhanced by using a great variety of wild plants growing in Siberia. Apart from familiar widely used wild mushrooms, berries and other wild plants a biennial herbage plant, namely, great burdock can be used. Precise requirements to safety of wild plants growing in Russia are not available in regulatory documents. This makes it much more difficult to pass the procedures of confirming the conformity of products. This also has a negative effect on the processes of harvesting, storage, processing and transportation of wild plant raw materials. The key goal of testing the quality of products is to ensure safety of food stuffs. This goal can be achieved by further study of wild plants and by establishing precise standards of safety.

The purchase of raw materials is very influential for the quality of products produced in addition to the process of making the product itself. Therefore, how to choose the supplier from the available alternatives is something that must be done properly in the process of procurement of raw materials especially for companies with many product variations and associated with many suppliers. This paper discusses about how to make supplier selection procedure for garment company with a case on a medium scale garment company in Bandung that manufactures veil and Moslem fashion. Mapping of business processes using IDEF0 was the first step in designing of supplier selection procedure. Then performed an analysis of the process which is usually done to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the process. The next step is create a design of supplier selection procedure that is more structured and measurable. In addition, also designed a tool that can be used in the supplier selection process, which is a simple application to determine the ranking of suppliers who will be selected based on the criteria specified. The application is based on the decision-making process with The Analytical Hierarchy Process approach that has been commonly used as a tool for decision-making with many alternative choices. In general, the resulting procedure would be beneficial for the company as a guide for those involved in the procurement process at the purchasing department, primarily for decision making in supplier selection.

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate cocoa beans quality produced in Cameroon, Ecuador, Nigeria and Ghana from safety position determining heavy and trace metals concentration and evaluating the oxidative stability of confectionery products prototypes (trials) with analysing cocoa beans. For evaluation of oxidative stability of confectionery products, the main ingredients - butter and cocoa beans kernels were tested making trials as milk chocolate prototype. The composition of confectionery ingredients affects quality of products; therefore it is very important to evaluate quality of raw materials in confectionery industry, as they are purchased practically in all regions of the world. Mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium concentration was determined in whole cocoa beans as their presence in foods have toxic effect on human beings and their concentration are strictly limited as maximum residue limits for processing. Cocoa shells can be used as additive to confectionery products recipes therefore the object of the study was cocoa beans and cocoa shells. Analyzing cocoa beans quality indices there was established that lead, cadmium, aluminium and zinc concentrations vary in cocoa beans significantly. Differences in lead concentration in cocoa beans from Ghana, Cameroon and Ecuador were significant (p < 0.05) compared with concentration of lead in cocoa beans from Nigeria (p > 0.05). Cadmium concentration in cocoa beans from Cameroon was significantly different comparing with cocoa beans from Nigeria, Ecuador and Ghana (p > 0.05). Differences in aluminium concentration in cocoa beans kernels were significant (p < 0.05) in all analyzed samples. Concentration of zinc was higher in shells of cocoa beans, especially in shells of cocoa beans from Ecuador (p < 0.05). The presence of cocoa products in milk chocolate prototypes inhibited the speed of lipid peroxidation. The different trace and heavy metals concentrations in cocoa beans should be taken into account choosing ingredients and components for confectionary products production particularly those with high content of cocoa (chocolates, sweets, cocoa fillings, cocoa creams and others) with the aim to prevent oxidation process during shelf-life of products.
