Polyol-containing confectionery offers considerable advantages over traditional sucrose-based confectionery in terms of reduced energy content and reduced cariogenicity. However, over-consumption of polyol confectionery may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms in some individuals. Rather than consider this as a distinct disadvantage to the consumer, this article discusses how careful consideration of the physico-chemical properties of polyols and advances in product development and formulation can provide suitable polyol-based products for the consumer. Furthermore, food legislation and ingredient pricing issues are just some of the factors that must be taken into account when designing new polyol-containing products if their functional benefits and good product quality are to be delivered to the consumer.

The structured food systems (i.e. cellular tissues) are dissipative structures whose functionality mainly concerns their properties (physico-chemical properties, chemical and biochemical reactions), external interactions with surroundings (interactions with micro-organisms, heat and mass transport pathway) and especially, their interactions with consumers (nutritional value, quality, taste and flavour, texture, appearance: size, shape, colour). Dehydration or rehydration processes concern heat and mass transport phenomena (water, solutes) coupled with micro and macrostructure changes both producing important effects on food functionality. Control of these changes is the major concern in food product development. This control must be applied not only to the changes in physico-chemical properties but also to those related with consumers' issues. Food matrixengineering is a branch of food engineering which aims to apply the knowledge of the food matrixcomposition, structure and properties to promote and control adequate changes which can improve some sensorial and/or functional properties in the food. These changes, which are caused by some basic operations, are related to the phenomena of heat and mass transfer, vaporization-condensation, internal gas or liquid release, structure deformation-relaxation and phase transitions in matrixcomponents, and are usually coupled throughout the operation's progress. The final product may be a new product with improved composition and sensorial properties and/or more stability. All these concepts are discussed in this paper using several examples related to the application of combined food dehydration techniques.

Consumer satisfaction in a restaurant can be improved through good product quality in accordance with the wishes and needs of consumers. Improving product quality is an important problem for a restaurant because it is beneficial for restaurants and consumers. The purpose of this study are: (1) to know the attributes of fried chicken that are considered important by consumers in the original Prambanan fried chicken restaurant, (2) to measure the level of importance of the quality of fried chicken products, (3) to measure the level of consumer satisfaction with the quality of fried chicken products and (4) knowing the strategy to improve the quality of fried chicken products. This study uses the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. The results of this study indicate that there are 11 attributes of product quality that are considered important by consumers with very important criteria. The biggest value of consumer interest is the attribute of fried chicken taste of 3.78. On the value of consumer satisfaction attributes of fried chicken chili variants have the smallest value of 3.08 with the highest IR of 1.30 need to provide and improve the quality of the product on the attributes of the fried chicken chili sauce. Keywords: fried chicken, product quality, customer satisfaction, quality function deployment (QFD)

This study emphasis on the physico-chemical properties of a new ber variety (Apple ber) originated in Thailand and slowly emerging in many parts of the world. The analysis is done under two different conditions the one being controlled and second one is blanched. The analysis revealed that the controlled condition is superior in physico-chemical properties than the blanched one. Also, proximate analysis was carried out on the fruit and its powdered form. In this analysis also controlled condition parameters were ahead of blanched. New products were developed with the Apple ber powder.

Bastard Clothing is a home industry that is also used as a brand or brand T-shirt distro that began to appear in early 2015. Promotion of the right target and good product quality greatly affect the community (consumers) in making the purchase of these products. Product quality greatly affects consumer purchasing decisions on a product, a good product in terms of quality or price will not be easy to compete if it is wrong in doing promotional activities. This study aims to analyze the contribution of simultaneous between product quality and promotion to purchase decision, analyze the partial contribution between product quality to a decision of purchasing and analyze the contribution of partially between promotion to purchasing. Samples in this research counted 44 respondents. The analysis technique used multiple regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that promotion and product quality simultaneously have a significant contribution on purchasing decisions, which means that the more attractive promotions made by companies and products offered quality can improve purchasing decisions. Product quality affects purchasing decisions, it indicates that the more quality products offered to consumers can improve purchasing decisions. Promotion contribution purchasing decisions, indicating that the more companies promotion can improve purchasing decisions

Наведені результати дослідження хімічного скла-ду та фізико-хімічних властивостей м’язової й жирової тканини свиней, відгодованих на раціонах із використанням білкових соєвих кормів різних технологій виробництва: експандування під тис-ком (концентрат сухий білковий соєвий кормовий – КСБСК), віджим під пресом (макуха соєва), екст-рузія (екструдат соєвий). За контроль використа-на макуха соняшникова. Встановлено, що за хіміч-ним складом і фізико-хімічними властивостями м’язова та жирова тканини всіх піддослідних груп свиней знаходяться на рівні нормативних показни-ків, що свідчить про достатньо високу якість сви-нини. У процесі порівняння якісних показників між дослідними групами аналогів вірогідної різниці не встановлено. Проте у м’язовій тканині тварин, відгодованих на КСБСК, простежувалася тенден-ція певного збільшення показників сухої та органі-чної речовини, протеїну й енерґетичної цінності.  The results of the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of the muscle and adipose tissues of pigs fed on the diets with soya protein feed of different technologies are given: expansion as the pressure (soy protein concentrate, dry fodder – KSBSK), extraction under pressure (soybean cake), extrusion (soy extrudate). Sunflower cake is used as a control. It was found that the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of muscle and adipose tissue of all experimental groups of pigs are at the level of normative parameters, indicating high quality pork. In the process of comparing quality indicators between the groups of analogues significant difference has not been established. However, in the muscle tissue of animals that are fed on KSBSK, the tendency of increase in the dry and organic matter, protein and energy content was observed.
