According to the Regulation (EC) of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union No. 852/2004 and No. 853/2004 “Оn the hygiene of foodstuffs” dated April 29, 2004, Ukrainian producers of both pasteurized and raw cow's milk should be guided by regulatory acts, in particular, DSTU 2661:2010 “Drinkable cow’s milk. General technical conditions” and DSTU 3662:2015 “Cow’s milk-raw. Technical conditions”, which are harmonized to the requirements of the EU, and are regulating the safety and quality of milk for adhering to the proper sanitary and hygienic requirements of their primary production and industrial processing, and use modern, effective developed and tested rapid control methods of milk and dairy products for their falsification. Taking into account that today the falsification of milk as pasteurized and raw is not a rare occurrence, it is especially important to develop and introduce new express methods for the detection of various chemical reagents in dairy products that impair their quality and can affect their safety. We have developed simple, effective, reliable express methods: the determination of the number of somatic cells in milk by using Reagent N; detection of milk falsification by sodium bicarbonate using an alcoholic solution of bromocresol green with a mass concentration of 0.01%; as well as by alkaline detergents using an alcoholic solution of bromotymol blue with a mass concentration of 0.02%. Determination of the number of somatic cells in cow's milk by express method using Reagent N gave a 99.8% confidence in qualitative indices. The colour and consistency of milk varies, depending on the number of somatic cells – from liquid with bright orange to the formation of a jelly-like clay dark-raspberry colour which is easily removed from the hole of the dairy plate. An express method for detecting falsification of milk by sodium bicarbonate has the following advantages over existing commonly used methods: the results are specific, with a reliable qualitative index of 99.9%, consisting in changing the colour of the circular layer of milk, depending on the amount of baking soda added to it. In the absence of sodium hydro-carbonate, the colour of the circular layer of milk has a dark green colour, and if it is present, it acquires a dark blue-green colour of varying intensity. The express method of the milk falsification determining by alkaline detergents is easy to implement, and its results give specific qualitative indicators of 99.9%. Depending on the amount of alkaline detergents added to the container with milk (up to 1, 5, 10%), the milk acquires a blue colour varying intensity.

Meat foods matter very much in the feed of man and fold considerable part her food ration. In many countries of the world meat is the basic object of food industry. In our state that determines basic legal and organizational principles of providing of quality and safety of meat products, food products made from them for life and health of population and prevention of negative in fluence on an environment in case processing, packing and moving through the custom border of Ukraine. By the most effective method of providing of safety of food products presently the system НАССР, that is base on implementation of requirements of DSTU 4161–2003, sconfessed in the world, that included general principles of functioning of the system, and also requirements of Regulation of European Parliament and Advice №852/2004. In terms of safety and quality cooked sausages (manufacturer PE «Matviychuk A.V.» Zhytomyr region), sausages (manufacturer SPE «Argon» t. Vinnitsa), small sausages (manufacturer SPE «Marshalok», t. Belaya Tserkov Kiev region) meet the requirements laid down DSTU 4436:2005 and hygienic in the production of these types of meat products. Our country has the Law of Ukraine «On basis principles and requirements for safety and quality of food», which spelled out the need to carry out inspections on compliance with hygienic and sanitary requirements in the production of safe and quality of food. The highest protein content was found in cooked (by the standards according to DSTU 4436:2005 – 12%). Fat content, moisture, starch and sodium chloride were well within the norms set of regulations for there meat products. Also safety measure as sodium nitrite content in sausage products did not exceed permissible levels (less than 0,005 %). MAFAnM lowest content was found in cooked sausages and sausages – 1.21·102 ± 28.82 и 2.82·102±42.54 КUO/g. In small sausages MAFAnM content was increased slightly – 1.16·103±29.67 КUO/g. The content of toxic elements in the investigated samples of meat products was within acceptable levels in accordance with DSTU 4436:2005 and radionuclide 137Cs and 90Sr – did not exceed permissible levels set by GN 6.6.1.1–130–2006.

Визначено безпечність та якість молока різних молокопереробних підприємств, яке використовується для харчування населення України. Встановлено, що за органолептичними показниками, густиною, кислотністю молока, вмістом жиру, білка, сухого знежиреного залишку, сухої речовини, бактеріального обсіменіння молоко торгових марок «Віта» (ПАТ-ЖЛК «Україна»), «Яготинське» та агропромислового ринку м. Біла Церква Київської області, відповідало вимогам національного стандарту України (ДСТУ 3662:2015). Молоко торгових марок «Віта» (ПАТ-ЖЛК «Україна», «Яготинське» за чистотою молока (кількість механічних домішок), фальсифікацією (домішки води) та  забрудненням лужним миючим засобом – до 5% не відповідало вимогам чинного ДСТУ 3662:2015. Вперше застосовано спосіб визначення фальсифікації молока натрію гідрокарбонатом із застосуванням бромкрезолового зеленого (Патент України на корисну модель № 118246; 2017 р.).  Вперше застосовано спосіб для визначення кількості соматичних клітин у молоці (наявність субклінічної форми маститу) із застосуванням розчину Reagent N (Австрія) (Патент України на корисну модель № 118247; 2017 р.). Запропоновані способи достовірні (99,2–99,8%), ефективні, експресні, зручні в проведенні, не вимагають витрат на реактиви і можуть використовуватися в комплексі з іншими методами визначення безпечності та якості молока.

Особливо актуальним є впровадження системи НАССР на підприємствах молочної промисловості, оскільки, відповідно до переліку харчових продуктів за ступенем обсіменіння мікроорганізмами і частотою випадків харчових отруєнь, що розроблений Всесвітньою організацією охорони здоров’я, молоко і молочні продукти віднесені до I категорії як ті, що найчастіше служать прямим джерелом харчових отруєнь. Система НАССР – це запобіжна система, що не допускає виникнення ризиків, оцінює їх, контролює небезпечні чинники продовольчої сировини, технологічних процесів і харчової продукції, що значною мірою зменшує рівні ризиків виникнення небезпек для життя та здоров’я людей. Одним із основних вимог забезпечення безпечності молока і молочних продуктів на переробних підприємствах є застосування мікробіологічних критеріїв стосовно гігієни технологічних процесів, прийнятих в ЄС, згідно Регламенту ЄС №2073/2005. Функціонування мікробіологічних критеріїв розроблено в контексті системи управління безпечності харчових продуктів, побудованої на основі принципів НАССР.

In connection with Ukraine's accession to the WTO, the Government has been tasked to take steps to ensure a consistent transition to the new International Requirements for the Safety and Quality of Raw Materials and Foodstuffs, including on animal health control. The purpose of the research was to carry out veterinary-sanitary examination of beef in the conditions of the agro-industrial market, to improve and develop express methods of determination of beef qualities of NOR- and PSE. The following research methods were used: organoleptic, biochemical, physicochemical, microscopic, microbiological, morphological and biometric. It is theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed the necessity to carry out veterinary and sanitary evaluation of beef qualities of NOR, PSE and DFD obtained from black-billed bull calves aged 24-27 months after maturation. The optimal quality indicators of beef quality NOR, PSE and DFD were determined. In order to prevent the loss of meat raw materials during processing, as well as in the production of meat products, it is experimentally and theoretically substantiated the need to determine the beef qualities of NOR- and PSE by organoleptic, morphological parameters, as well as by pH and pigment content. Use patented photometric methods for express and effective determination of NOR- and PSE beef in the state veterinary laboratory on the market. It is scientifically substantiated and experimentally proved the expediency of carrying out veterinary and sanitary evaluation of beef of different enterprises of Kyiv region in accordance with the current national standards and normative legal acts of Ukraine. Thus, a reliable quantitative method for determining the total content of pigments in beef qualities of NOR- and PSE along with other methods of determining these qualities (moisture retention capacity, pH, moisture content, organoleptic) is proposed. The method has the advantage over the existing methods of determining beef NOR- and PSE in that the results have a specific, reliable quantitative value. Methodical recommendations “Veterinary-sanitary evaluation of beef using quantitative method for determination of total pigment content in NOR- and PSE-meat of cattle” approved by the Academic Council of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Bilotserkiv National Agrarian University, December 5, 2018 .
