Abstract
Object of research: the process of creating a technology for the preparation of sweet products using locally produced melon fruits. Investigated goal: Development of technology for the production of sweet products from gourds on a natural basis using local unsold raw materials. Main scientific results: possible ways of using unsold melon fruits in the food industry were identified, a solution to the problem of overproduction of melons and gourds in the country was proposed. The original technologies for the production of sweet products made on the basis of the fruits of gourds have been compiled and worked out. the evaluation of the nutritional value of finished products was carried out. Area of practical use of research results: small and medium-sized farms for the production of melon fruits. Innovative technological product: technology for the production of sweet products, which allows organizing the industrial processing of the unsold volume of gourds. Scope of the innovative technological product: agricultural and food industry in the field of melons processing, small and medium enterprises for the production of melons, confectionery production.
