SELECTION OF POMOLOGICAL VARIETIES OF APPLES GROWING IN THE TURKESTAN REGION AS RAW MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF APPLE CHIPS

Abstract

The production of apple chips, which have become popular food products abroad, the composition of which is close to fresh apples, has fundamental differences from the technology of making dried fruits. As a product with biological and nutritional value, enterprises implement the developments of scientists. Apple chips from Russian and Belarusian manufacturers are already being sold in retail chains, the price of a package is 600 tenge. Since apples are affordable in terms of their cultivation, the urgent task is to quickly establish production from Kazakhstani raw materials. The research is aimed at choosing varieties of apples according to their consumer characteristics that allow them to produce a product. The presence of the raw material base of farms of the Turkestan region engaged in the cultivation of various pomological varieties of apples by yield, pricing policy with studies of biometric characteristics affecting the technological properties of apple chips has been studied. It has been established that there are approximately 100 subjects with apple orchards with a capacity of about 10,000 tons/year each. The range is represented by pomological varieties of apple trees used in the world of varieties - Idared, Granny Smith, Nicole Granny, Fuji, Golden, Jeramin, Jonagold, etc. The average price for 1 kg of apples is 300 tenge, which makes production efficient. It has been established that according to biometric, organoleptic characteristics and mineral composition, the studied samples are suitable for obtaining high-quality apple chips. Safety is confirmed by the results of tests for pesticides (absence) and nitrates (does not exceed the norm by 5 times). The research methodology was based on a systematic analysis of data on the selection of pomological varieties and instrumental methods for determining identification features characterizing pomological varieties of apples.
