The dissertation is devoted to the development of a method for determining the content of vitamin C in jelly products to improve the commodity examination of the quality of apple jelly enriched with vitamin C. The dissertation presents the results of an analytical review of bibliographic sources on the range of jelly products in the confectionery market of Ukraine and trends and prospects for its development. It is highlighted that confectionery is one of the most common in the range of food groups, they are in great demand among the population, the most popular are jelly products. But confectionery is characterized by limited biological and nutritional value. They are low in protein, lack some essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamins, macro- and micronutrients, polyphenolic compounds, dietary fiber. Therefore, their prescription composition needs to be corrected to increase the content of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber while reducing the energy value. It was found that most of the population of Ukraine is deficient in micronutrients, namely vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, folic acid, beta-carotene; minerals (Calcium, Sodium, Potassium); trace elements (Iodine, Fluorine, Selenium, Zinc, Iron); dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is shown that vitamin C plays a very important role in human life. 60–80 % of respondents suffer from vitamin C deficiency. An effective and affordable way to eliminate the deficiency is to form a range of foods enriched with deficient micronutrients. It is established that in the domestic market of confectionery products, which are enriched with vitamin C, there are mainly imported goods: lollipops, caramel, chewing candies and jelly lozenges. They are associated by the consumer with traditional sweets, which have an indirect effect on the health of the body. In the dissertation in order to establish consumer preferences for jelly products enriched with vitamin C, marketing research is presented, which allows to increase the competitiveness of a new product and position it on the market. It is highlighted that the low level of knowledge among consumers about fortified products and insufficient awareness of their range causes the problem of bringing food producers to market. It is shown that 43,9 % gave their priority to packaged jelly products, 12,3 % – unpackaged or by weight purchased in the retail network. 32,5 % of respondents want to see jelly in cups on the market, 36,0 % jelly mold jelly, 21,9 % glazed marmalade, 9,6 % multilayer marmalade. Desired products are used by all categories of the population. The most active jelly products are young people under 40, who buy them mainly for themselves, but also for families and children. With frequent determination of purchases, which involves the receipt of new products, the number of which is 3,5 %, and families with children buy it up to 3 times a month, which is 19,3 % of responses; 79,8 % buy these products in supermarkets, 5,3 % in restaurants, 3,5 % in the market. It is established that iron is fruit, enriched with vitamin. Creates an association with fruit juice, which is a traditional carrier of powerful vitamin products in 21,1 % of consumers. The perception of a new product, which is a modification of traditional rail transport in cups, can use the associative and significant experience of consuming traditional products to build new product positioning strategies. The positioning of a new product is created on the basis of the identified attributive characteristics of its consumer douching, namely, it can visualize the dominant associative context of a useful and light dessert. Combined with rational motives for purchases: a slight increase in prices by 1,8 %, physical availability for consumption in the nearest retail chain, the attraction of a new product in the market of confectionery manufacturers. It is established that there is a tendency to introduce into the recipe of different groups of vitamin C products, but there are no standards for its definition, except for processed fruits and vegetables. The main methods of its quantitative determination do not take into account the peculiarities of sample preparation and the influence of the product matrix. It is shown that the most common method for determining vitamin C is titrimetric using sodium 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenolate as a titrant, without additional treatment of the sample with cysteine, which in the case of fresh vegetable raw materials leads to lower results due to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid. On model systems it is experimentally proved that the determination of vitamin C is influenced by the nature and amount of the structurant (agar, starch or gelatin), the presence of acids (hydrochloric or oxalic), the aging time of the systems. The content of vitamin C introduced in different concentrations into gelatin solutions was determined by HPLC, and the amount of bound vitamin C in these systems was determined. It is shown that the difference in the values of the introduced amount of vitamin C and determined by HPLC can be associated with the ability of gelatin to bind vitamin, and in the case of increasing the content of vitamin C in the sample to 50 mg/100 g the amount of bound vitamin increases significantly. up to 22 mg. The IR spectra of dry films of model systems of gelatin with the addition of vitamin C in different concentrations were studied. Analysis of the IR spectra of dry films of model samples showed that the addition of vitamin C affects the state of gelatin, the release of hydroxyl groups for intermolecular interaction, which leads to a rarefaction of the system and the formation of molecular associations. It is noted that for the scientific substantiation of the mechanisms of binding by hydrocolloids of AA it is appropriate to choose the molar ratio between the amount of hydrocolloid substance and AA, and it was found that this ratio ranges from [0,4…8,67]×103 A recipe for apple jelly with the addition of vitamin C has been developed. Concentrated apple juice was chosen as the fruit juice. A number of studies have shown that the safety of AA in raw materials and products depends on many factors, namely: pH, temperature, contact with oxygen, the presence of Cu(II)- and Fe(III) cations, and so on. Therefore, it has been suggested that the use of concentrated apple juice with the addition of AA will allow to obtain a product with high antioxidant potential and increased nutritional value. The commodity evaluation of concentrated apple juice was carried out and it was established that according to organoleptic indicators it has a taste and smell characteristic of natural apple juice of pleasant golden-yellow color without foreign impurities and inclusions; by physicochemical: mass fraction of soluble solids is 70,0 %, mass fraction of titrated acids in terms of malic acid – 5,20 %, density – 1350 kg/m3 , transmission at 440 nm – 19,9 %, which corresponds current regulatory documentation. The introduction of concentrated apple juice in the amount of 14 g per 100 g of product into the jelly recipe is substantiated. In the jelly recipe, the dosage of gelatin is 3 kg per 100 kg of finished products. In order to establish the possibility of replacing gelatin food grade P-11 with gelatin Bloom 240, a set of studies was conducted, which showed the possibility of reducing the gelatin content to 2 % of the total weight of the system. Thus, the basic scheme of production of apple jelly enriched with vitamin C is substantiated and developed. The use of the method of galvanostatic coulometry to determine the content of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in jelly products (on the example of apple jelly) is proposed and substantiated. The sequence of operations in the procedure of sample preparation of samples for measuring AA is described, which is the basis for quantitative determination of AA against the background of the rest of the food matrix. The method of determining the content of AA by coulometric titration is based on the reducing properties of AA, namely the possibility of oxidation of AА to dehydroascorbic acid by electrogenerated iodine. The technique is designed for use in the quantitative determination of AA in food systems containing hydrogen solutions of gelatin with a mass fraction of up to 3 %. The method allows quantitative determination of AA in the range of operating concentrations from 1- 100 mg/100 g of product in AA-enriched fruit jellies based on concentrates of fruit juices without additional chemical preparation of samples. A limitation of the method is the presence in the fruit raw material of the presence of copper and iron ions with a concentration exceeding the limit of 0,01 concentration of AA. The content of vitamin C in 100 g of apple jelly, which is 38 mg, ie 47,5 % of the recommended daily intake for adults, was determined. To study the question of AA conservation in apple jelly samples over time, the kinetics of AA degradation was studied using first- and zero-order reaction equations for calculations. The first-order reaction rate constants were calculated, which allowed to calculate the half-life of AA for jelly with a gelatin content of 2 %, which was 107 days. This result corresponds to the content of vitamin C after 60 days of storage at 27,1 mg/100 g of jelly. According to the results of evaluation of economic aspects, the implementation of scientific development - methods of determining AA to improve the consumer properties and competitiveness of jelly – is carried out taking into account the feasibility and prospects of its implementation in food production. The expediency of implementing the developed methodology in practice was diagnosed on the basis of a process approach using indicators of work complexity, costs and economic effect of the process. It is established that the determination of vitamin C content in jelly products belongs to the group of simple processes (coefficient of complexity is 0,22), the costs associated with the implementation of the process are low (98,75 UAH/100 kg), the implementation of the developed process provides growth reputation of the enterprise as a producer of quality products, which creates the preconditions for obtaining additional profit in the amount of 5,0… 7,0 thousand UAH per 1000 kg of product. According to the results of the SWOT-analysis, it was determined that the strengths of the method for determining the content of vitamin C in jelly products exceed its weaknesses [(+0,98) vs. (–0,34)], and opportunities for its implementation in the practice of economic activity prevail threats that accompany this process [(+0,83) vs. (–0,67)], which indicates significant prospects for the implementation of the developed methodology in the activities of food industry enterprises. The social effect of the implementation of the developed methodology in the practice of the enterprise in the production of apple jelly with vitamin C is to form an assortment of confectionery group - jelly products and created a consumer product with functional properties through the introduction of vitamin C.
