Managing the Quality of Concentrated Kissels for Professional Nutrition

Abstract

The article studies criteria of managing the quality of kissels for professional nutrition: organoleptic factors, structure and properties of dehydrated packed half-finished products for making functional drinks and desserts (kissels with various taste-aromatic features). Taking into account the problem of healthy nutrition, including production of vitaminous food the authors underline the importance of functional properties, which are stipulated by inclusion of vitamin preparations or composites that are resistant to thermal treatment. The authors studied certain indicators of quality – sensory and rheological ones as the most sensitive to technological factors. After analyzing theoretical aspects of managing the quality of products and experimental data recommendations were prepared for using the product in nutrition of social contingents, workers of enterprises with harmful working conditions, lecturers and students of higher education institutions. The methods can be applied in technological monitoring of quality of catering products. Desserts and vitaminous (functional) drinks can be sold in a traditional way or by vending machines.
