As part of this work, computer quantum chemical modeling of the stabilization of basic magnesium carbonate by biopolymer molecules: hydroxyethylcellulose, methylcellulose, chitosan and hyaluronic acid was carried out. The simulation was carried out by combining the basic magnesium carbonate and biopolymer through a magnesium atom and various functional groups, respectively. As a result of the analysis of data obtained during computer quantum chemical modeling, it was found that the stabilization of basic magnesium carbonate by biopolymers is energetically advantageous (∆E > 736 kcal/mol) and chemically stable (0.034 ≤ η ≤ 0.075 eV). The optimal configuration of the interaction of the basic magnesium carbonate with each biopolymer has also been determined. As a result, it was found that the stabilization of the basic magnesium carbonate by chitosan, in which the interaction occurs through a hydroxyl group attached to the C3 of the glucosamine residue, has optimal values of the difference in energy (∆E = 736.224 kcal/mol) and chemical hardness (η = 0.059 eV) compared with other biopolymers.

Microbial protein for animals can be produced by using various technologies that differ in efficiency, environmental friendliness and life on the market, including due to limited resources. The work presents the study dedicated to the possibility of producing inverse sugar from sawdust by the cavitation method using an ultrasonic cell. In the course of the research samples of hydrolysates with a mass fraction of inverse sugars of more than 30% have been produced. The work also shows the effectiveness of using the resulting sugars for developing feed yeast biomass enriched with bioelements, probiotic, prebiotic and other biologically active substances. Dry standard nutrient medium for yeast, whey, dry whey, permeate, dry permeate have been studied as the basis of the nutrient medium for the feed protein production. Laboratory data suggests that further testing should be carried out at the production scale, but the problem point for implementation of such technology has been a lack of a productive, environmentally friendly and efficient method for producing inverse sugar from sawdust. The scientific novelty of the work is presented by environmentally friendly technology of the cavitation process using an improved Ch-245 flow cell (Novotekh-EKO LLC (Vologda, Russia)), while the productive capacity of ultrasonic equipment in this format can be adjusted for the specific performance of the whey processing line /permeate by parallel use of several flow cells. Thus, the proposed technology helps in simultaneous solving environmental problems associated with underutilization of secondary dairy raw materials as well as in gaining economic benefits from using wood chip waste. At the same time, the flexibility of biotechnologies makes it possible to develop a functional feed product for farm animals with a specific set of biologically active substances, bioelements, in particular.
Within the framework of this work, a quantum chemical substantiation of the enrichment of dairy products with selenium-containing nanoscale systems was carried out using the quantum chemical modeling method in the IQmol molecular editor using the QChem program. Quantum chemical modeling was carried out through the interaction of the selenium atom with various functional groups of amino acids in the C-terminal region of the K-casein. The main parameters analyzed were the difference in the total energy of the amino acid sequence in the C-terminal section of the K-casein with the total energy of the interaction of the selenium atom with a given molecular structure (∆E), as well as chemical rigidity (η). As a result, it was found that the enrichment of dairy products with selenium-containing nanoscale systems is energetically advantageous (∆E ≥ 2399.650 kcal/mol) and chemically stable (0.053 ≤ η ≤ 0.070 eV), and the optimal interaction configuration is the connection of a selenium atom with the C-terminal site of Kcasein through the hydroxyl group of serine bound by a peptide bond with glutamic acid (∆E = 2400.139 kcal/mol, η = 0.070 eV).
The synthesis of beta-galactosidase is observed in microorganisms of various taxonomic groups, including some strains of yeast fungi and lactic acid bacteria. The present work considers the study of optimal conditions of beta-galactosidase activity obtained as a result of separate and co-cultivation of domestic yeast strains Kluyveromyces marxianus Y-1338, Kluyveromyces lactis Y-1333, Kluyveromyces lactis Y-1339 and starter cultures Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus. Studies of the pH and temperature effect on the activity of yeast and lactic acid bacteria enzymes received as a result of their separate and co-cultivation were carried out in the work. It has been established that the optimum of the enzyme activity depends primarily on the type of its producer. In the case of separate cultivation, the maximum activity of yeast beta-galactosidases was observed for the species K. lactis and was 4 times higher than K. marxianus. Moreover, for the K. lactis Y-1333 and K. lactis Y-1339 strains, similar results and optimal conditions were found at pH 5.0 and temperature 60°C. In experiments with lactic acid bacteria, the activity of beta-galactosidase of acidophilic bacillus was twice higher than the thermophilic streptococcus enzyme activity, had greater resistance to temperatures and stability over almost the entire pH range. Maximum lactase activity of Lb. acidophilus B was observed at 60°C and pH 5.0, and St. thermophilus B at 40° C and pH 5.0. It was found that the activity of combined enzymes of yeast and lactic acid microorganisms was significantly higher than the activity of beta-galactosidase after their separate cultivation. The maximum lactase activity of K. marxianus Y-1333 + St. thermophilus B was higher by 45% than K. marxianus Y-1333 and almost 3 times higher than value of St. thermophilus B. The greatest activity (~1.42 IU/cm3 ) was obtained for the combination of K. lactis Y-1333 + Lb. acidophilus B. In the case of beta-galactosidases obtained by co-cultivation of yeast and viscous cultures of lactic acid microorganisms, optimal conditions include pH 5.0 and 60°C for the combination of cultures K. lactis Y-1333 + St. thermophilus B and K. lactis Y-1339 + St. thermophilus B, pH 7,0÷7,5 and 60°C for K. lactis Y-1333 + Lb. acidophilus B, pH 6,0÷6,6 and 60°C using the enzyme K. marxianus Y-1338 + Lb. acidophilus B.
Food additives that allow regulating functional and technological properties, providing qualitative and quantitative characteristics of finished products are essential in meat technologies. Flax seed processing products, due to the high concentration of functionally valuable components and pronounced technological properties of protein and polysaccharides, are an ideal component for replacing meat raw materials in sausage products. The purpose of the work is to develop the technology of meat products enriched with biologically active additives of plant origin based on flax seeds. The theoretical part of the research was carried out on the basis of the Department of Food Technologies of DonGAU, the development of experimental batches of products was carried out in the production conditions of LLC "Meat Processing Plant", Razvilnoye village, Peschanokopsky district, Rostov region. The purpose of the research is to study the possibility of using flax seeds as a protein additive in sausage production technology. It has been established that the introduction of flax seed additives into the formulations of meat products improves the organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of finished products. The prototypes were distinguished by a more delicate consistency and higher uniformity of minced meat on the cut, an increase in the mass fraction of protein and a decrease in the proportion of fat were also noted. A technology for the production of sausages with a biologically active additive based on flax seeds has been developed, the functional properties and nutritional value of which, combined with economic feasibility, allow it to be used as a protein ingredient in the production of combined sausages.
The article presents the scientific and practical justification for the use of food agar as a stabilizer in the technology of whipped dessert. Apple puree was used as the main raw material in the technology of whipped desserts. Foam density was determined as the ratio of a certain foam mass to the volume of the vessel measured using distilled water, foaming ability – as the ratio of the height of the foam column to the height of the column of the solution of prescription components, foam stability – as the ratio of the height of the foam after 3 hours to the original. Organoleptic quality indicators were determined in accordance with GOST 32147-2013. A tasting assessment of the quality was carried out by a 20-point school. Physico-chemical quality indicators were determined in accordance with generally accepted methods: titrated acidity according to GOST 5898-87; mass fraction of moisture – by dissolving the sample; mass fraction of ash – according to GOST 5901-2014; the ability to syneresis (separation of moisture) of the whipped dessert, for this purpose, 20 grams of suspension were kept for 5 days at a temperature of 25 ° C in a thermostat, after which the volume of released moisture was measured with a measuring cylinder. The color assessment was carried out on a device for operational color measurement – colorimeter NR110 (China). The number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (KMAFAnM) - according to GOST 33536-2015, yeast (DO) and mold fungi (PG) – according to GOST 10444.12-88 was determined after 3 days of storage of finished products at a temperature of 0–+4 ° C. The viscosity of the product is determined on the device by the Brookfield rotary viscometer DV2T model. As a result of the conducted research, it was concluded that a sample is isolated using food agar as a stabilizer, since these products are characterized by high organoleptic and rheological quality indicators that are not inferior to the control sample. To improve the appearance of the whipped dessert and increase the nutritional value of the product, it was decided to use a pumpkin and lemon filling in the product, as well as a sprinkle of a mixture of cocoa powder and cinnamon. Foam with gelatin (control sample) has the lowest density (less than in sample 1 by 30.19%), this indicates that in this sample more air bubbles were formed during the whipping of the mass. The foaming capacity in the control sample is 9.83% higher than in sample 1, which is due to the protein nature of gelatin. But it should be noted that the foam structure is more stable with the addition of food agar (sample 1), even after 3 hours of standing it is 100%, which facilitates the technological process of producing desserts from apples, as well as the conditions and shelf life of the product. Economic calculations indicate the effectiveness of the applicable solutions. The use of the above components in the technology of whipped dessert allows you to expand the range of halal and vegetarian products with increased nutritional value. Regulatory and technical documents have been developed for the dietary "Halal" dessert from "Kyzyksinu" apples (STO, TI, RC 00493497-007-2022).
Bakery products occupy an important place in the structure of nutrition. They are products of daily demand. That is why an important area of research is the enrichment of bakery products with nutrients, vitamins, macro and microelements. The article discusses various types of functional additives used in baking, such as celery stalks, brown algae powder, pumpkin, barley, sorghum, etc. Research on the development of recipes for gluten-free products has recently gained the greatest popularity. When choosing an alternative raw material for the experiment, we analyzed the growing conditions of Jerusalem artichoke. It was found out that this plant is unpretentious to growing conditions, which accumulates much less nitrates and heavy metals than other plants, and is resistant to many diseases and pests. The chemical composition of jerusalem artichoke is unique. Tubers contain all the essential amino acids, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins. During the experiment, in the recipe of the loaf, wheat flour was replaced with jerusalem artichoke flour in a dosage of 20, 30 and 40%. The sample with the addition of 30% jerusalem artichoke flour had the best organoleptic characteristics. To simplify the creation of recipes for bakery products with functional additives, a system for predicting the quality of bakery products is being developed, which allows controlling the output parameters of the product based on initial data.
SHORT REPORTS
The article presents the results of a study of some organoleptic and physicochemical quality indicators of carrot leaf powder, semi-finished products and bread sticks based on the first grade wheat flour and carrot leaf powder in an amount of 3–9% by the weight of flour. The presence of a significant amount of biogenic microelements, chlorophyll and β-carotene in the powder of the fortification additive was revealed. In a model experiment, the activation of gas formation processes was noted with an increase in the amount of the carrot leaf powder. The bread sticks of the experimental variants had good organoleptic and physicochemical properties. Based on the results of the tasting, we chose two versions of the products and improved their recipe by adding a vegetable oil. It is proposed to use the carrot leaf powder in amounts of 5 and 7% in further research to improve the technology of functional breadsticks.
In the course of the research, issues related to the development of technology for the production of gluten-free flour confectionery products were studied. The quality indicators of gluten-free flours such as rice and corn have been determined and the possibility of their use in the production of dietary cookies has been established. The work used the method of mathematical planning of an experiment using a computer system for planning a two-level two-factor experiment of type 22 “with a star” using the STATGRAPHICS Plus for Windows program. The optimal ratio of rice and corn flour when making sugar cookies has been established. With a ratio of rice and corn flour of 88:12 %, the resulting gluten-free sugar cookies have the required quality indicators such as wetness and a score based on organoleptic quality indicators. The possibility of using applesauce and chokeberry powder in the production of gluten-free food products as structure formers due to the content of pectin substances in them has been established. The berry powder was obtained in laboratory conditions from fresh chokeberry berries. Also, by planning the experiment, it was determined that the most optimal quality indicators for test samples of cookies are achieved by introducing applesauce in an amount of 22 % and chokeberry powder – 1 %. In addition to strengthening the structure of the finished cookies, the addition of these components increases the nutritional value of glutenfree sugar cookies, enriching them with vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.

Significant correlations were identified within the study between geopolitical stability, level of economic development, and the effectiveness of cluster strategies in APR countries. The main success factors included the flexibility of adaptation strategies to changes in the international arena and the ability to overcome political and economic obstacles. The discussion of the results emphasized the importance of considering the geopolitical situation in the development of cluster strategies, as well as the need for alignment of interests among countries in the region for the successful implementation of cluster policies. The research enables researchers, practitioners, and government bodies to interact more actively and develop effective cluster development strategies in the APR, taking into account geopolitical risks and opportunities.
One of the main determinants of the Middle Eastern system of international relations is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Its significance for the region has long been determined by the involvement of almost all regional and leading global actors in it. At the same time, over the past two decades, the ArabIsraeli conflict has experienced rescaling and a certain de-internationalization. The shift in foreign policy priorities of a number of Arab states, the signing of the Abraham Accords, the normalization of IranianSaudi relations, as well as the global context have shifted the issue of Palestine from the list of priority problems in the Middle East. In this regard, the next round of confrontation between Israel and Palestine somewhat falls out of the logic of regional development and has distinctive characteristics, especially taking into account the updated regional and global realities. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to identify the features of the current Palestinian-Israeli escalation of its regional and global projection.
Mass political communication began to act as a multifaceted phenomenon of interaction between political actors through the exchange of information in the process of power struggle or its implementation, including the tactics of indoctrination, and is derived from the media space, because it depends on what services the latter will provide: whether it will be improved digital electronic novelties or outdated technically and morally devices of the last century. Therefore, if in the 1960s or 1970s it was possible to distinguish three areas of the media space (print, radio and television space), now we are talking about the Internet space, which has occupied its leading niche, and with coverage of most of the media space: The Internet space continues to expand, having practically "mastered" print media and television and radio.
The article examines the most common instrumental moral justifications of democracy. Moral justifications are understood as justifications from the point of view of a certain social ideal, and the instrumental nature of the justifications means that the social ideal differs from democracy, and democracy is justified as a way to achieve it. Three arguments given by Dahl in support of democracy are considered: 1) the people are no less competent in matters of moral truth than any ruling elite; 2) no ruling elite, even knowing moral truth, will put it into practice if it is not controlled by the people; 3) no "elite" can be defined as such by anyone except by the people themselves. All these arguments are criticized by the author of the article. It is concluded that political governance requires a number of virtues and competencies, which are inevitably more developed in some people than in others, and thus the moral validity of universal suffrage is questioned.
The article analyzes topical issues of practical activity in the field of information support for the activities of government agencies, public and business organizations in the context of their participation in solving large-scale tasks of interstate confrontation.The management of the information field is considered in the article as one of the most important areas of activity and can be implemented either on the territory of warring/adjacent states, on the territory of countries that are used as an arena for struggle, or in "extraterritorial" spaces, one of which is the information space. Within the framework of the current socio-political discussion in Russia, various experts often voice the opinion that Russia has never been distinguished by "high" competencies in conducting information warfare. The author of the article, using the example of specific historical "paradoxes", refutes this myth and comes to the conclusion that in the history of our country there are many examples of successful information campaigns that have positively affected the course of a particular military-political confrontation. Moreover, an analysis of the experience of Russia's "informational" participation in conflicts of different eras allows us to conclude that the country has both positive and negative experience in implementing such projects. According to the author of the article, at the current moment, one of the most promising forms of political participation in the process of information warfare is the management of the information field. Primarily due to the use of its resonant potential, the effect of novelty in the information used and/or a variety of triggers. Such political participation ultimately leads to the emergence of numerous information flows and can be determined by one or another chosen scenario. There are three main types of scenarios (essay scenario, analytical scenario, graphic scenario), which differ from each other both in the set of properties of the text itself and in what technological means can be used in the preparation of scenarios. At the same time, any scenario is built in the logic of one of two alternatives: "from the object" or "from the process". An attempt to build a scenario from a "process" within the framework of an information confrontation essentially means an attempt to exert targeted influence on the initiator of even a separate local information flow in order to stop a specific problem. As for the construction of the "from the object" scenario, this approach, for example, may involve the perception of the opposing elite as a whole and setting the task of causing damage to it, for example, in the electoral field. The logic of building a scenario contains 3 stages: the creation of a theoretical model, the design of a practical model, and the definition of alternatives for the development of the scenario.
This article examines the process of party-political transformation in Serbia at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries from a historical perspective. The authors analyze the main stages of the development of the Serbian political system, starting from the end of the 20th century and up to the present.

The authors draw attention to the changing preferences and values of voters, as well as the role of the media and social networks in shaping public opinion. In conclusion, the authors conclude that the party-political transformation of Serbia at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries was a complex and multifaceted process that was associated with historical events and changes in political culture. They also point to the need for further research in this area and possible implications for Serbia's political system in the future.
The political process in the Middle East is distinguished by a large number of determining factors, which together form a complex system of functioning of the political system of regional societies. Each country in the Middle East has a set of general and specific features of the political process, which determines the unique characteristics of Middle Eastern political life. The presence of a significant array of ethno-confessional, historical, civilizational, socioeconomic features of the region predetermines research interest in the stated topic. At the same time, the political process in the Middle East is constantly changing under the influence of new factors. Thus, this work aims to identify the key parameters of the political process in the Middle East region.
The article examines the penetration of the media component into information warfare, which leads to significant transformations in the logic and functional interface of decision-making at the political level, as well as to changes in the internal political situation based on changes in public discussion. It is concluded that mass media and politics merge not only in the field of interests of the political elite and political leadership, but also in the area of creating a political course, political guidelines that provide the political meaning of the existence of a certain society. The following conclusion is that in modern conditions, the mediatization of politics for the purpose of information confrontation is inherent in any political regime and includes in the field of influence, for example, everyday culture, culture of choice of delegation of authority, culture of reaction and understanding of news information, attitude towards the deputy corps and, in general, trust in the media.But at the same time, the processes of information warfare can occur in various variations – from the concentration of minds, when political meanings are transmitted unchanged, which gives opportunities for positive cooperation, or information warfare leads to open confrontation, fueled by propaganda.
The study focuses on exploring Western and non-Western research traditions in the study of the Taiwanese issue in contemporary political science. The paper examines the approaches and methods of analyzing international relations surrounding Taiwan and provides a classification of approaches based on the methods and tools utilized. Differences between Western and non-Western research traditions enable a comprehensive understanding of the Taiwanese conflict, considering its multifaceted and complex nature. Integrating various methods and approaches contributes to the development of broad strategies for conflict resolution and prevention. Various research methodologies are used to describe the Taiwanese conflict, including a holistic analysis of political, historical, economic, and socio-cultural aspects. The historical methodology covers key stages of events around Taiwan, starting from the aftermath of the Civil War in 1949. Political analysis focuses on the strategies and tactics of different states within the conflict. Sociological approaches examine the socio-cultural aspects of the conflict, while economic analysis explores the economic interests intertwined with the conflict. Comparative analysis with other regional conflicts provides insights into the unique features of the Taiwanese conflict. Research paradigms employed by Western scholars highlight several key aspects of analyzing the Taiwan conflict. Realist approaches emphasize national interests, power balance, and geopolitical dynamics. The liberal school underscores the role of international institutions, democracy, and economic interdependence in conflict resolution. Constructivist approaches utilize social constructs such as identity and norms to explain behavior in the conflict. Western researchers often use quantitative research methods such as statistical analysis and modeling. Conversely, non-Western scholars propose alternative analysis methods. The Chinese school focuses on China's history, culture, and foreign policy in the conflict context. The Japanese-Asian school emphasizes regional factors like Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN's roles in the conflict dynamics. Postcolonial studies analyze the influence of colonial legacies and neo-colonialism on the conflict. Conflict resolution studies utilize an interdisciplinary approach, integrating knowledge from various fields like political science, history, sociology, economics, and cultural studies. Access to diverse information sources and critical analysis aids in building an objective understanding of the conflict. Comparing Western and non-Western research traditions sheds light on the Taiwanese conflict, considering its multifaceted nature. Integrating different approaches facilitates the development of comprehensive strategies for conflict resolution and prevention. Further research on the Taiwanese conflict necessitates a multi-faceted approach encompassing a wide range of disciplines and methodologies for a deeper understanding of the issue and the formulation of constructive resolution strategies.

The transition to digitalization has had a significant impact on the competitive balance of power. The new conditions favor companies that have been in the industry for a long time or do not have much experience. These companies are not always able to compete with large players, even if they work with large volumes of products. However, at the same time, they occupy a leading position because they were able to quickly and timely adapt to the new requirements of the consumer market. In other words, the biggest opportunities in today's business world lie with startups that are willing to embrace new business models and change the rules of the game. In this context, companies that have been around for a long time need to pay attention to changes that affect key elements of capital such as image (symbolic capital). Integrating modern digital trends with traditional approaches to creating a corporate image is critical to a company's survival. This article examines the elements of social image and the features of the formation of a corporate image in the light of the transition to digitalization.
This work is devoted to a rather important topic in the field of combating corruption in the Russian Federation, namely the role of youth in resolving this issue, as well as their attitude to corruption as a harmful phenomenon in general. Corruption covers all segments of the population and exists in almost all world states of the present time, causing incalculable damage to both individuals and organizations, and the entire state in general. The relevance of the topic under study is determined by its ubiquity and the need to solve the problem in the modern world. The need to eliminate corruption is determined by the magnitude of the consequences inflicted on the whole society by this harmful phenomenon. In particular, it is possible and necessary to talk about the relationship of consciousness and worldview of the younger generation with the degree of prevalence and increase in the number of cases of corruption in all spheres of public life. The purpose of this research work is to study corruption phenomena among young people, identify the main causes and ways to minimize corruption. Accordingly, corruption in all its most diverse forms is put forward as the subject of research, paying important attention to its direct relationship with the younger generation. In the course of the work, such theoretical and empirical methods as comparison, analysis, classification, testing, questioning, observation, study, calculations and others were used and applied. The scope of application of the results obtained during the writing of a scientific article and conducting social surveys covers a wide range of public and government activities. The work carried out and its results may influence further decisions in the field of anti-corruption policy at both the federal, regional and municipal levels, as well as the results of this scientific work should have an appropriate impact on readers' views on corruption and corruption policy in the Russian Federation and show the degree of importance and role of youth not only in its appearance and existence, but also in overcoming it or, at least, minimizing it. And, of course, this article will provide a fresh look at the problem under study directly on behalf of a representative of the younger generation, which is the author of the work. Based on the results of the work, the need to resolve the problem of corruption was justified, the causes of its occurrence, ways of elimination, types of these very corruption phenomena relative to the strata of the population and the level of power in which it can manifest itself were comprehensively studied and given in the text of the article, the involvement of the younger generation in its appearance and elimination was revealed and finally, the relevant conclusions regarding the studied topic are presented.
