Commodity research of food products. The Food Handler's Handbook The Food Handler's Handbook read online

Commodity experts - trade organizers participate in the implementation of this task, studying and forecasting demand, compiling market surveys and other materials used in the formation of orders and orders for production, supplying retail trading network food products in accordance with scientifically grounded assortment lists. New conditions, new requirements, dictated by a radical reform of economic management, are making significant adjustments in all aspects of the trade industry. The restructuring of trade and the activities of commodity experts - trade organizers fills with new content. Today a commodity expert should not only bear full responsibility for the quality of goods, but also be a skillful merchant, an active organizer trade process... It is important not only to know the consumer properties of food products, but also to understand the market conditions, to be aware of changes in consumer demand.

A very important function of commodity experts - trade organizers is to improve the organization of trade and the technology of commodity circulation, associated with the rationalization of trade and technological processes to bring food products from production to retail taking into account ensuring the quality and safety of products in all links of the distribution network and reducing the total national economic costs. For these purposes, commodity experts must control and monitor the saturation of the retail trade network with food products, provide auctions (associations) or stores with advice and other services. For example, to deliver goods in a sub-sorted (prepackaged) form, to carry out a seasonal sale, to introduce rational forms of supply and to develop a centralized delivery of products to stores, to monitor the rhythm of receipts. In this regard, the trade (commodity) departments of wholesale or retail organizations (enterprises) must accumulate current (seasonal) food stocks, distribute them rationally, maneuver commodity resources in a mobile manner and seek additional food stocks. Commodity experts - trade organizers develop and implement progressive forms of trade and commodity movement (especially with the use of packaging equipment), mechanization labor-intensive processes, food storage and reduction techniques natural loss both in warehouses and shops.

Commodity specialists play a leading role in the struggle to improve the quality of food products. Successful solution of the problems of supplying the population with high-quality food products in the appropriate quantity and range contributes to an increase in labor productivity, affects the growth of efficiency social production... Commodity experts are called upon to provide all the necessary conditions for the prompt implementation of the finished food products... They must actively participate in all activities carried out by the food industry (agricultural production) and aimed at determining or improving the quality of food products. Systematic informing consumers about the rational use of food products is of great importance in the work of commodity experts.

At the same time, the responsibility of commodity experts increases trade enterprises and organizations for the mobility of updating the range of goods based on consumer demand.

At the same time, commodity experts of trade are called upon to constantly monitor the quality and safety of the produced food products at the stages of sale, that is, during their transportation and storage in the warehouse and in the retail trade network.

The successful solution of this problem is associated with the need for a deep mastery of commodity experts sensory (organoleptic; method of analyzing the quality of food.

The role of commodity services in the fruit and vegetable sector is especially important. Currently, potatoes, fruits and vegetables occupy a significant share in the diet. The degree of satisfaction of the needs of the population for these products depends not only on the volume of production, but also on the safety of the product. Ensuring the safety of potatoes, fruits and vegetables and the uninterrupted supply of them to the population require comprehensive quality management of these products. In the system of fruit and vegetable associations, commodity experts, in addition to commodity research and organizing functions, perform certain technological tasksassociated with the introduction of advanced methods of storage, processing certain types fruits and vegetables, etc.

To successfully solve the problem of providing the population with food products high Quality and in the right assortment, commodity specialists must have special training and a system of deep scientific knowledge in their field.

In connection with the growing role and importance of commodity science in the planning of production and trade, commodity science as a science faces a number of serious and responsible tasks. This is, first of all, the formation and expansion of the range of food products, taking into account a balanced diet based on sound recommendations in terms of nutritional value, taste, shelf life, production efficiency and consumption efficiency.

Merchandising as a scientific discipline should take an appropriate place in the field of food standardization through active participation specialists and commodity scientists in the creation and revision of regulatory and technical documentation, the development of new indicators and clarification of the nomenclature of the existing indicators of food quality.

An equally important problem of modern commodity science is the improvement and development of new methods of research and quality control, rational regimes and optimal methods of storage, packaging, packaging, transportation, preservation and sale of food products, depending on objective factors that contribute to reducing losses and maintaining the quality of food products.

Only a specialist with deep theoretical training in the field of commodity science will be able to actively fulfill his functions to improve the entire system of supplying the population with high-quality food products, taking into account reasonable needs and balanced nutrition.

In terms of the scale of training and the number of positions in trade organizations and enterprises, commodity specialists are the largest group of specialists in trade management bodies at various levels. Broad professional training and experience practical work these specialists allow them to participate in the complex operational and economic activities of many levels of both management and directly in stores and warehouses: to determine the quality of goods and make demands on their manufacturers and suppliers; determine the conditions for optimizing the process of movement of goods from points of production to the retail trade network and storage in stores and warehouses; develop proposals to improve the sale of goods, study demand, improve customer service.

Literature

1.1. Subject and tasks of commodity science

Commodity researchis a scientific discipline that studies the consumer properties of goods. For this science, the study of the consumer value of goods is of particular importance. Any product has value and use value. The amount of socially necessary labor expended on the production of a commodity determines the value of its value. The utility of a product, the ability to satisfy any human need, is called the use value. The consumer value of a product is determined by its properties. The property of a product is understood as an objective feature that manifests itself during its creation, operation and consumption. The properties of the goods can be both natural and acquired in the process of production, storage and sale.

The emergence of commodity science as a science is attributed to the middle of the 16th century. At this time, the volume and nomenclature of manufactured goods are increasing, there is a need for systematized information and knowledge about them, that is, in commodity science. As industrial production grew, commodity science faced various tasks and, consequently, its content changed. In the development of commodity science, three important stages can be distinguished: first - commodity-descriptive,when the main attention was paid to the creation of manuals describing the properties and methods of using various types of goods (from the middle of the 16th to the beginning of the 17th century); second - commodity and technological,whose main task was to study the influence of technological factors (properties of raw materials, materials, technologies) on the quality of goods (from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century); third - commodity-forming,the purpose of which is to develop scientific foundations for the formation, assessment and management of consumer value, quality and assortment of goods (from the beginning of the 20th century to the present).

Professor M.Ya. Kittara (1825-1880), who laid scientific foundations commodity science: gave a definition of the subject and content of the course, developed a classification and described the properties of goods. He believed that the study of technology and commodity science should be based on the study of chemistry, physics and other natural sciences.

Further development of commodity science is associated with the names of professors P.P. Petrov (1850-1928) and J.Ya. Nikitinsky (1854-1924). They clarified the essence, tasks and scope of commodity science, showed its connection with production technology and agricultural and economic sciences.

The development of food commodity science is associated with the name of Professor F.V. Tserevitinov (1874-1947). He was the first to investigate the chemical processes occurring in fruits and vegetables during long-term transportation and storage at low temperatures. A valuable contribution to the development of this branch of commodity science was made by Professors B.C. Smirnov, N.I. Kozin, B.C. 1ryuner, A.A. Kolesnik.

Since food products differ significantly in their properties and requirements for them, knowledge and information from various fields of science are also used in commodity science. Therefore, it is closely related to many natural, technical and social scientific disciplines. Economics helps to reveal the social essence of such concepts as consumer value, value of a commodity, commodity production, commodity, its historical character, etc .; physics and chemistry provide general information about the structure, properties and nutritional value of foods. Knowledge of microbiology, biochemistry is necessary for the correct choice of modes of transportation and storage of food. The connection of commodity science with economic geography, statistics, economics and the organization of trade allows you to correctly organize the movement and accounting of goods, determine the population's need for them, etc.

The main tasks facing commodity science:

Determination and study of the fundamental characteristics of goods that constitute consumer value;

    establishment of the range of consumer properties and quality indicators of goods;

    studying the properties and indicators of the assortment of goods, analyzing the assortment policy of a production or trade organization;

    commodity assessment of the quality of goods, including new domestic and imported;

    identification of quality gradations, diagnostics of defects in goods and the reasons for their occurrence, taking measures to prevent the sale of low-quality, dangerous goods;

    ensuring the quality and quantity of goods at different stages of their technological cycle;

    establishing the types of commodity losses, the reasons for their occurrence and the development of measures to prevent or reduce them;

    information support of commodity movement from manufacturer to consumer.
