Consumption is among the key determinants of milk production and profitability. The main purpose of this paper is to present the level of and changes in milk and dairy products consumption in the EU in 2004–2018. Due to changing consumer preferences, the average consumption of milk and milk products in EU countries is on an increase. In turn, Poland witnesses growth in consumption of milk for ripening and processed cheese and yogurt. In 2004–2017, per capita consumption of ice cream, cheese and powdered milk followed a downward trend. In order to examine changes in the consumption of milk and milk products, a forecast was prepared which shows that in 2018–2022, Poland will experience an increase in the average monthly consumption of milk, ice cream and cheese. On the other hand, the EU will report growth in consumption of fresh dairy products, butter, cheese, skim milk and powdered milk, and a decrease in casein consumption.

Modern consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the perceived health benefits of food. As a result, they are in search of various types of information, for example, information on the packaging of food products that could confirm to what extent the purchased product will meet their expectations regarding the proper composition, that is, nutritional value, or perceived health values earlier mentioned. Furthermore, consumers increasingly seek new dairy products with additional health benefits and, therefore, it is essential to explore which attributes are important drivers of food choices and how producers can better respond to shifting consumer values and needs in each dairy product category. Therefore, the aims of our research was twofold: (1) To determine different segments of consumers based on their preferences towards food and nutrition, including opinion on new food products with a particular emphasis on a dairy market as well as (2) to study the importance of some statements related to nutrition presented on the yoghurt label with a precise focus on aspects of the increased and decreased content of some ingredients. The data were collected using a CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) survey on a sample of 489 adult Polish consumers. Respondents provided answers to questions and took part in a discrete choice-based experiment. The obtained data were analysed using the clustering method. The segmentation was performed using a hierarchical Ward’s method. As a result, four segments were identified: Quality-oriented, Involved, Quality Enthusiasts, and Neutral. The results indicated that in relation to the features that are important in the case of yoghurts, the following were indicated above all: Beneficial effects on health, its sensory values, as well as its availability on the market and production by traditional methods. Consumers belonging to Quality Enthusiasts seemed to be the most promising segment due to their openness to new products, as well as positive feedback on yoghurt. From the perspective of taking action on the food market, Involved may also be interesting, as it showed their openness to new products available on the food market. However, due to the relatively lower, compared to other segments, assessment on the beneficial effect of yoghurt on health, their taste, aroma, availability, as well as the importance of information on care for the proper method of breeding animals, this segment can pose a special challenge to entrepreneurs. Moreover, Involved seemed to be more demanding and critical towards some projects undertaken on the market by policy makers and marketing practitioners.

Introduction. Currently, the food market is replenished with new types of specialized food products intended for nutrition of certain population categories. Gerodietetic products are important in forming the diet for senior citizens. Therefore, gerodietetic foods are a factor of healthy lifestyle and active longevity. Functional food products should be based on age-related issues and consumer preferences. Aging weakens assimilative processes in organs and tissues, slows down the rate of redox reactions, and restructures the system of metabolism and body functions. Thus, people of advanced and gerontic age need to consume appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals, as their deficiency plays a decisive role in the development of age-related diseases. As a result, scientific justification and development of functional food products for this category is extremely important. The research objective was to study consumer preferences in relation to gerodietetic food products by collecting, processing, and analyzing marketing data. Study objects and methods. The research featured statistical data, as well as information obtained from consumers aged 60–77, residents of the Kemerovo region. The study involved methods of analysis, systematization of statistical and scientific information, comparison and generalization, as well as a marketing survey method. Results and discussion. The research started with an analysis of the structure and dynamics of the age-sex composition of the population in 2017–2019. The number of the elderly increased by 5% compared to 2017. The analysis also showed a stable quantitative prevalence of female population, i.e. 64.9% in 2017 and 64.8% in 2019. The daily diet of most survey participants included cereals, dairy products, and vegetables. The survey helped to identify the purchase factors. Price proved to be the main factor when choosing dairy products (72%). Most respondents (47%) consume dairy products daily. Conclusion. The marketing research defined the purchase factors for people of advanced and gerontic age in choosing food products. The obtained data can help to improve the gerodietetic products on the consumer market of Kemerovo.

На современном рынке молочной продукции наметилась тенденция к удешевлению за счет подмены дорогостоящих компонентов и процессов бюджетными. Потребность технологических разработок определяет маркетинг, руководствуясь потребительскими предпочтениями и экономической составляющей. Российские молочные продукты, произведенные из классического сырья по традиционным технологиям, зачастую подвергаются фальсификации аналогичными продуктами с пониженными массовыми долями жира и белка, заменой молочных компонентов и живых заквасочных культур вследствие отсутствия системы идентификационных характеристик. Идентификация продукции является неотъемлемой частью оценки (подтверждения) соответствия и главным средством борьбы с фальсификацией. Критериями идентификации выступают регламентированные показатели продукта. В ТР ТС 033/2013 «О безопасности молока и молочной продукции» включено понятие «национальный молочный продукт», однако отсутствуют критерии идентификации продукции этой группы. Цель настоящей работы – поиск уникальных характеристик российских молочных продуктов и классических технологий, выделяющих их среди аналогичной продукции. В качестве метода применен ретроспективный анализ литературы с глубиной поиска до 1930-х гг. Прослеженный период развития идентификации молочных продуктов выявил в качестве критериев сырьевой, технологический признаки, а также вид упаковки. Выявленные критерии будут положены в основу при формировании системы идентификации российских молочных продуктов. In the modern market of dairy products, there is a tendency to reduce the cost of replacing expensive components and processes with budget ones. The need for technological developments is determined by marketing, guided by consumer preferences and the economic component. Russian dairy products produced from classic raw materials using traditional technologies are often falsified with similar products with reduced mass fractions of fat and protein, replacing dairy components and live starter cultures due to the lack of a system of identification characteristics. Product identification is an integral part of the assessment (confirmation) of compliance and the main means of combating falsification. The identification criteria are regulated product indicators. In TR CU 033/2013 “On the safety of milk and dairy products” includes the concept of “national dairy product”, but there are no criteria for identifying products of this group. The purpose of this work is to search for unique characteristics of Russian dairy products and classic technologies that distinguish them from similar products. The method used is a retrospective analysis of the literature with a search depth of up to the 1930s. The traced period of development of the identification of dairy products revealed the raw material, technological characteristics, as well as packaging as criteria. The identified criteria will form the basis for the formation of a system for identifying Russian dairy products.

Проведён статистический анализ потребления основных продуктов питания населением Ярославской области за период с 2007 г. по 2018 г. Оценка потребления продуктов питания рассмотрена на основе описательных показателей статистики. Удовлетворение потребности в основных продуктах питания оценивалось путём сопоставления фактического потребления и рациональной нормы по каждой группе продуктов. Для оценки влияния факторных показателей на динамику душевого потребления основных продуктов питания было проведено моделирование с применением корреляционно-регрессионного анализа, были построены три модели: двухфакторная модель потребления молока и молочных продуктов, многофакторная модель потребления картофеля и однофакторная модель потребления фруктов. Оценка качества построенных моделей была оценена с помощью F-критерия Фишера, а для оценки статистической значимости параметров моделей был применён t-критерий Стьюдента. Во всех моделях наблюдаемое значение критерия меньше фактического значения критерия, то есть гипотезы о значимости моделей принимаются с вероятностью ошибки 0,05. В исследовании проведено моделирование и прогнозирование основных критериальных показателей продовольственной безопасности по Ярославской области. Для этого были построены трендовые модели, адекватность которых осуществлялась на основе критерия Дарбина-Уотсона, а проверка на точность с помощью следующих статистических показателей: средней ошибки аппроксимации и средней квадратической ошибки. Для двух продуктов питания – картофель и овощи оптимальной является экспоненциальная модель, для остальных продуктов (фрукты и ягоды, мясо и мясопродукты, молоко и молочные продукты, а также яйца) лучшим для прогнозирования является параболический тренд. Выбранные модели позволяют описать закономерности развития анализируемого явления наиболее адекватно и точно. A statistical analysis of the consumption of basic food products by the population of the Yaroslavl region for the period from 2007 to 2018 was carried out. The assessment of food consumption was considered on the basis of descriptive indicators of statistics. Satisfaction of need for basic food products was assessed by comparing the actual consumption and the rational norm for each group of products. To assess the effect of factor indicators on the dynamics of per capita consumption of basic food products modeling was carried out using correlation-regression analysis, three models were built: a two-factor model of milk and dairy products consumption, a multifactor model of potatoes and a one-factor model of fruit consumption. The assessment of the quality of the constructed models was evaluated using the Fisher F-test, and the Student t-test was applied to assess the statistical significance of the model parameters. In all models, the observed test value is less than the actual test value, that is, hypotheses about the significance of models are accepted with an error probability of 0.05. Modeling and forecasting of the main criterion indicators of food security in the Yaroslavl region were carried out in the research. Trend models were built accomplish this, the efficacy of which was carried out on the basis of the Durbin-Watson model and precision test using the following statistical indicators: mean approximation error and mean quadratic error. For two food products – potatoes and vegetables, the optimal is the exponential model, for other products (fruits and berries, meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, as well as eggs) the parabolic trend is the best for forecasting. The selected models allow you to describe the patterns of development of the analyzed phenomenon most adequately and accurately.

Идентификация пищевого сырья, применяемого для производства продуктов питания, является важным аспектом безопасности здоровья человека. Развитие аллергических реакций, непереносимость отдельных компонентов пищи и т. д. являются поводом для вынесения информации о составе пищевой продукции на этикеточную надпись. Также к важным факторам оценки продуктов питания можно отнести и видовую «чистоту». Этот показатель необходимо учитывать не только в качестве выявления фальсификации продукции более дешевым сырьем, но и для безопасности конечного потребителя. Для идентификации видового состава молока и молочной продукции достаточно успешно используется метод полимеразной цепной реакции. Развитие этого метода привело к появлению различных подходов его использования. Одним из них является метод мультиплексной полимеразной реакции, который позволяет одновременно проводить процесс амплификации различных последовательностей ДНК. Что позволяет использовать данный метод для одновременного определения двух и более видов сельскохозяйственных животных в течение проведения одного ПЦР-анализа. В данной работе показаны возможности применения мультиплексной ПЦР для идентификации молока и молочной продукции. Показано, что в течение одного анализа определяются специфические праймеры, характерные для трех видов животных: коровы, овцы и козы. Применяемая методика также была использована на молочной продукции, прошедшей термическую обработку, в результате чего установлена возможность использования мультиплексной ПЦР для анализа такой продукции. Предел обнаружения при проведении ПЦР-анализа составил 0,1 %. The identification of food raw materials used for food production is an important aspect of human health safety. Development of allergic reactions, intolerance to certain food components, etc. are the reason for placing information on the composition of food products on the label inscription. Species «purity» can also be attributed to the important factors in assessing food products. This indicator must be taken into account not only as a detection of product counterfeiting with cheaper raw materials, but also for the safety of the end consumer. To identify the species composition of milk and dairy products, the method of polymerase chain reaction is quite successfully used. The development of this method has led to the emergence of various approaches to its use. One of which is the multiplex polymerase reaction method, which allows simultaneous amplification of various DNA sequences. That allows you to use this method for the simultaneous determination of two or more species of farm animals during one PCR analysis. In this work, the possibilities of using multiplex PCR for the identification of milk and dairy products were shown. It was shown that during one analysis, specific primers characteristic of three species of animals: cow, sheep and goat are determined. The applied technique was also used on heat-treated dairy products, as a result of which the possibility of using multiplex PCR for the analysis of such products was established. The detection limit for PCR analysis was 0.1 %.
