Introduciton The object of research
The object of research is the technology of production of cottage cheese desserts and whitepink marshmallows (on agar and pectin).

2. Problem description
To ensure high consumer properties and competitiveness of whipped confectionery products, it is necessary to resolve a number of issues related to stabilizing the polyphase structure and maintaining product quality during transportation and storage [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The use of food nano-additives in whipped confectionery technology is a new and promising area of research [8][9][10].

3. Suggested solution to the problem
The authors solve the problem of stabilizing the polyphase structure of whipped confectionery and forming their quality by using the mineral nano-additive "Magnetofood" (based on ferrous and ferric iron: FeO×Fe 2 O 3 ). "Magnetofood" is an ultra-fine powder of dark brown or black color with a particle size of 70-80 nm, with a large specific surface; antioxidant, bacteriostatic, sorption, complex-forming, stabilizing, emulsifying, water and fat-retaining properties [8][9][10].
The aim of research is to form indicators of the quality of whipped confectionery products (cottage cheese dessert and white-pink marshmallow) when the food additive "Magnetofood" is added to the recipe.
To achieve the aim, the following objectives were solved: study of the effect of the food additive "Magnetofood" on the organoleptic characteristics of whipped curd and marshmallow products; microstructure and distribution of air bubbles by diameter, physicochemical and structural-mechanical indicators of prototypes of whipped curd and marshmallow masses.

Materials and methods
The subject of research is model curd and marshmallow masses with a mass fraction of the food additive "Magnetofood" 0.10 %, 0.15 %, 0.20 % to the mass of the recipe mixture. The food additive "Magnetofood" was introduced in the form of: 1) fat suspension (in curd desserts) with stirring of curd in an amount of 0.2 g; 0.3 g; 0.4 g per 100 g of the prescription mixture, which is 0 % (control -sample 1); 0.10 % (sample 2); 0.15 % (sample 3); 0.20 % (sample 4) food additive "Magnetofood"; 2) an aqueous suspension based on a 5 % aqueous solution of a gelling agent -agar or pectin (into marshmallows) at the stage of swelling-dissolution of the gelling agent in an amount of 20.0 g; 30.0 g; 40.0 g per 1,000.0 g of the prescription mixture, which is 0 % (control -sample 1); 0.10 % (sample 2); 0.15 % (sample 3); 0.20 % (sample 4) food additive "Magnetofood".

1. Experimental procedures
To determine organoleptic (on a 5-point scale, taking into account the weight coefficients of each indicator), physicochemical (total acidity, mass fraction of moisture, density), structural and mechanical (effective viscosity using a Reotest-2 rotary viscometer, mechanical strength and ultimate shear stress -on the AP-4/1 penetrometer, the microstructure of the whipped mass using a microscope) indicators were used generally accepted and standard techniques [9,10].

Results and discussion
The surface activity of nanoparticles of the food additive "Magnetofood" and their ability to form solvate complexes with protein molecules improves the consistency of the curd dessert, which is evident from the organoleptic characteristics (Fig. 1).
The introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" into the recipe for the curd dessert provides sufficient stability of the product, which can be seen from the narrow distribution curve of the diameters of air bubbles (Fig. 2).
The narrow distribution of air bubbles in diameter helps to stabilize the foamy structure of the curd dessert. This is explained by the complementary properties of Fe atoms of the food additive "Magnetofood" and the formation of coordination and electrostatic bonds of "Magnetofood" nanoparticles with curd proteins, which strengthens the foamy structure of the curd dessert (promoting foaming and fixing air bubbles in the system) [9].  -control, -dessert with 0.15 % food additive "Magnetofood" In addition, the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" corrects the structural and mechanical characteristics of the curd dessert: with an increase in the mass fraction of the additive "Magnetofood", the following increases: the maximum shear stress is 1.18...1.3 times (which characterizes the strength of bonds in associative complexes of polyphase structures with "Magnetofood" nanoparticles, which have a structure-forming ability), the thixotropy coefficient is 1.26 times compared to the control. As a result, the stability of the curd product increases and its structure softens somewhat (due to fat binding by "Magnetofood" nanoparticles and the formation of a structured-solvated system) ( Fig. 3).
At the same time, the structural and mechanical characteristics of the dessert remain stable during the entire shelf life (24 hours).
Thus, the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" improves the organoleptic characteristics, stabilizes the foamy structure of the curd dessert, including during storage; promotes the formation of stable various forms of the product The rational parameters of the technological process for the preparation of curd dessert have been determined: mixing (n=2.0... piled and a technological scheme of a curd dessert with the use of a food additive "Magnetofood" was developed. It has been experimentally established that the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" in the amount of 0.10 %; 0.15 %; 0.20 % of the mass of raw materials affects: sedimentation stability, viscosity, thixotropic properties of aqueous suspensions, in particular agar and pectin. A rational amount of the food additive "Magnetofood" has been established -0.15 % of the mass of raw materials. This served as the basis for the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" in gummy-pastilles in the form of suspensions based on a 5 % aqueous solution of a gelling agent (agar, pectin) -in a rational amount of 30.0 g of an aqueous suspension per 1,000 g of a recipe mixture [10].
The results of the organoleptic assessment of the quality of test samples of white-pink marshmallow are shown in Fig. 4. From the data in Fig. 4 it can be seen that the introduction of 0.15 % food additive "Magnetofood" improves the organoleptic characteristics of the product in comparison with the control: marshmallow is uniform, uniformly white with a cream shade and light pink color; has a soft, uniform consistency and fine-mesh structure; rounded, without deformation, with a clear outline; smooth surface without damage and hardening on the edges; pleasant pronounced taste and smell characteristic of marshmallows.
According to the organoleptic analysis data, the rational content of the food additive "Magnetofood" is 0.15 % of the mass of the recipe mixture, which is confirmed by studies of the foaming ability and foam stability of egg white on model systems with different gelling agents and with different amounts of the food additive "Magnetofood" using mathematical modeling [10]. Table 1 shows the main physical, chemical and technological parameters of prototypes of white-pink marshmallow with various gelling agents. Whence it can be seen that when the food additive "Magnetofood" is introduced, the density decreases by (1.12...1.15) times and the duration of whipping by (1.5...2.5)60 s due to the interaction of the nanoparticles "Magnetofood" with molecules of egg white, which promotes the branching of the main chains of its macromolecules and slows down the process of liquid draining and thinning of the walls of air bubbles. The use of the food additive "Magnetofood" increases the strength of the foam by (1.1...1.2) times due to the "cluster-philicity" of the nanoparticles of the food additive "Magnetofood", which increases the viscosity of the gelling agent in the Gibbs-Plateau channels, which slows down the syneresis process and stabilizes the gel frame foam-like structure. Table 2 shows the kinetics of the volume of experimental samples of marshmallow masses during storage for a regulated period of 60 days. As can be seen from the data of the Table 2 the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" stabilizes the structure of prototypes of marshmallow masses by improving the foaming and fixation of air bubbles in the system under the action of "Magnetofood" nanoparticles. The functionality of the food additive "Magnetofood" is manifested primarily in the reduction of surface tension. The destruction of the foam is caused by the processes of diffusion of air, the outflow of liquid from the walls of the bubbles (viscosity of the liquid) and the enlargement of bubbles due to fusion.
In addition, a rather narrow peak, both for control and for prototypes (2, 4) with 0.15 % ood additive "Magnetofood" stabilizes, indicates a uniform overrun of marshmallows. Moreover, due to the higher viscosity and lower surface tension, the stability of the foam in the prototypes with the food additive "Magnetofood" is higher. That is, the food additive "Magnetofood" stabilizes the foamy structure of marshmallows, including during the storage period established by the regulations.
The viscosity and mechanical strength of experimental samples of marshmallow were studied. After the formation of the whipped mass, the frame is gradually fixed, since the liquid films separating the air bubbles contain a gelling agent, which ensures the transition of the mass into a gel-like state. Fig. 5 shows the strength (t, kPa) of prototypes of marshmallow masses in the process of aging (t60 s). 2)60 s on pectin; increases the maximum shear stress by (11.9 ... 12.6) % -on agar and (8.2...9.1) % -on pectin, which is associated with the formation of supramolecular associates with "Magnetofood" nanoparticles. As a result, the gelation process is accelerated and the strength of the whipped mass increases. In addition, the introduction of the food additive "Magnetofood" increases the effective viscosity of marshmallow masses by (1.35...1.55) times compared to the control, which is associated with the structure-forming effect of nanoparticles "Magnetofood", leading to the aggregation of polysaccharides and an increase in roughness of their channels. As a result, the stability of foam films increases, and an increase in the gel-forming ability of pectin and agar allows increasing the viscosity in the Gibbs-Plateau channels, stabilizes the gel frame of the foam structure and slows down the syneresis process [6].
On the basis of the research carried out, formulations were compiled and technological schemes for the production of white-pink marshmallows (on agar and pectin) using the food additive "Magnetofood" were developed.
