Article is devoted to the results of modeling-a certain mathematical function that describes the behavior of the object of study, abstracting from the internal structure of the real substrate. Materials and Methods: discusses the construction of models of experimental dependencies extruding abnormally viscous fluids, includes the following stages: clarification, depending on the specific tasks optimized parameters (specific energy consumption in the extrusion process, the pressure in predatrice area, complex organoleptic quality score, etc.); the choice of factors determining the variability of the optimized parameters (initial moisture of the product, the frequency of rotation of the screw, the living section of the matrix, etc.); the selection of intervals of change of factors; recruitment plan and the conditions of the experiment; analysis of experiment data and construction of mathematical model of dependencies of optimized parameters on selected factors.Results: when planning an experiment, the conditions for conducting experiments, obtaining reliable and accurate information about the object, with minimal effort, providing information in a convenient form and quantitative accuracy assessment. Discussion: the problem of optimization of the studied process was solved, which allows to find such modes of the extruder, which would be in a wide range of changes in the input parameters of the product amounted to a minimum of specific energy consumption, the optimal pressure in the pre-matrix zone and the maximum complex organo-leptic quality index. Conclusion: the obtained results reveal the influence of individual factors on the operation of extruders and can be used in the design and optimization of their operation. They will have an impact on the development of scientific, scientific, technical and technological directions in the field of creating new food products with programmable properties (including therapeutic and prophylactic action). Made on their basis, experimental design will reveal new technological solutions in the field of creation of new generation technological equipment for various branches of the food industry. The developed recommendations and proposals for the use of the results are already used in the ongoing innovative projects for the creation of extruders, as well as other equipment.

Abstract. Energy saving technologies have recently been considered at the level of state and international policy. Various opinions on the causes of appreciation of energy resources, on depletion of natural resources, changes in climate and many other problems are coming from the expert community. Increasing tariffs and prices for the consumed energy and heat citizens can feel on themselves. The diverse opinions of representatives of all government levels, departments and organizations converge in one thing: it is necessary to reduce the energy consumption, develop energy efficiency and energy saving measures in the country which will contribute to this. The relevance of this study is based on the lack of a mechanism to meet the social, economic, aesthetic and ecological needs of a person. Nevertheless, the problems of ecology and environmental protection are still acute and urgent. Levels of water and air pollution remain high due to outdated equipment and insufficient integration of modern technologies and waste treatment facilities. Motor transport increased the pollution level of the urban airspaces. Taking into consideration the significant growth of passenger transport, the reduction of trucks in the general traffic flows does not reduce the overall air and noise pollution in the roadside territories.

The article considers and substantiates the method of calculating metal panels with tubular channels, as new heat exchangers made of thin steel sheets, which used in thermal equipment at catering establishments. Today, the majorities of steam jackets of technological devices in the food industry arerepresentedby open slotted space and work under pressure, which leads to a thickening of the walls of heat exchangers, and therefore increases the specific quantity of metal. Plate-to-channel heat exchangers, unlike ordinary shirts, are made of thin metal sheets. Panel channel heat exchangers are a structure, which composed of two metal sheets, that are interconnected by contact welding. Heating steam channels are formed between the sheets. The design of sheet-channel heat exchangers can significantly reduce the wall thickness, and thus reduce the metal consumption and reduce the thermal inertia of the equipment. This article describes methods that allow calculating the area of steam channels and obtaining the optimal dimensions of inter-channel sections for sheet-channel heat exchangers of thermal devices of catering enterprises. A method for calculating the heat transfer coefficient based on an experimental study is also given. In order to reduce the thickness of the walls of the panels, it is proposed to maximize the area of inter-channel sections without reducing the heat flux, which the panel transmits to the heated medium. This problem is solved with the help of a calculation method based on the use of the coefficient of efficiency of the thermal edge.

One of the most common methods of preserving apple pomace in order to further obtain products with a high content of biologically active substances is drying. For the experiment, a method of drying with superheated steam of reduced pressure in a pulsed vibro boiling layer was chosen, since it allows improving the quality of the finished product by lowering the temperature of the drying agent, thereby retaining a significant amount of nutrients in the original product. To study the kinetic and hydrodynamic dependences of the drying process, an experimental setup has been developed and created, which allows to obtain the most accurate and reproducible results. According to the results of the experiments done, the drying curves, the drying rate curves and the heating curves were constructed. The technological modes of operation of the drying unit are determined, ensuring a minimum of the specific energy consumption of the drying process and the maximum moisture stress of the drying chamber. In addition to the experiment on drying apple pomace, a study was also conducted on the content of pectic substances in dried pomace. To determine the amount of pectin and protopectin, the calcium-pectate method was used. During the experiment, it was found that with the proposed method of drying, the yield of pectin substances is increased compared with traditional methods. Histograms of the content of pectin and protopectin were constructed depending on the method of drying. A comparative analysis of the content of pectin and protopectin was carried out depending on the drying mode for apple pomace and sugar beet pulp. The conclusion is made about the increased thermolability of protopectin in apple pomace compared to sugar beet pulp.
