The purpose of the work was to improve the technology of multicomponent milk and protein products – curd products with functional and technological components – pumpkin succades, the use of which will allow to increase the biological value and stability of quality indicators of production. Succades are confectionery made from whole or sliced fruits, cooked with sugar, dried or sugar-coated or glazed. Production of succades from local cheap carotene containing raw materials, such as pumpkin, allows to expand the range of vegetable succades of domestic production. The experimental part of the work was performed at the Department of Milk and Dairy Technology of Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies Lviv. The research included the development of technology of succade of pumpkin and lemon balm, the choice of ways to make them at the optimum stages of the technological process, the improvement of curd mass technology, the development of their formulations, the study of the quality of the finished product. Raw materials used in the work comply with the State Standard of Ukraine and the requirements of other regulations in Ukraine. The study of a complex of indicators of the chemical composition of pumpkin succades indicates their high nutritional value. On the basis of literature and experimental studies, three variants of formulations of curd masses of high biological value have been developed. Pumpkin succades technology has been developed that has excellent organoleptic characteristics due to the preservation of color, taste of native raw materials and high nutritional value. Technology has been improved and technological parameters of curd production are described. In order to implement the developed technology in the shops for the production of new dairy products at the dairy enterprises it is not necessary to carry out the modernization or reconstruction of production. Experimental studies have determined the optimal dose of pumpkin succades, which is 50–100 kg. The basic physicochemical indices of curd products that meet the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation are investigated.
