Use of oilseeds as organic raw materials for the food industry

Abstract

In the modern period, research on the creation of waste-free technologies and sustainable development of the food industry are relevant due to the need for rational use of natural resources and reduction of the environmental burden on ecosystems. The study was devoted to studying the possibilities of using oilcake, the residue after oil extraction from oilseeds, in the food industry. The study aimed to determine the effect of adding sunflower, rapeseed, soybean and flaxseed oilcake on the nutritional value, organoleptic properties and economic feasibility of food production. In the experimental part, the necessary analyses were carried out for bread, bars and biscuits made with the addition of oilcake in different proportions (10, 20, 30%). Study results showed that the use of oilcake significantly increases the content of proteins, fats and vitamins in products, improves their taste and texture, and reduces production costs. The greatest savings were achieved by adding 30% sunflower oil oilcake to the bread, about 10% compared to the control sample. Products with the addition of oilcake in proportions of 10-20% had better organoleptic characteristics, without any noticeable effect on the taste, texture and overall perception of the products. The addition of 30% oilcake in most cases led to a deterioration in taste, especially in the case of rapeseed and mustard oilcake. Based on the research, it is possible to conclude that soybean oilcake is the best among the tested products for use in the food industry. The results of the experiments confirmed that oilcake can be effectively used as an ingredient in the food industry, helping to reduce production waste, increase the nutritional value of products and reduce their cost. This opens new opportunities for the development of innovative food products and contributes to the sustainable development of the food industry. The use of soybean oilcake can significantly improve the nutritional properties of breads, bars and biscuits, while also expanding the range of functional foods
