Relevance. Squashes are a promising culture, and the recent work of breeders allow us to uncover large reserves to improve their nutritional and dietary qualities. The dietary value of zucchini is due to the easy digestibility of all carbohydrates, which allows them to be used in the production of canned foods. Canned snacks and candied fruits are produced from zucchini. The most important quality of the varieties we study is their cylindrical shape, allowing mechanization of the cleaning operation.Methods. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to use zucchini of different degrees of ripeness for the preparation of candied fruit with the least loss of products.Results. As a result of research conducted at the All-Russian Research Institute of Irrigated Vegetable and Melon-Growing in the Astrakhan Region, it was found that zucchini fruits of different degrees of maturity can be used to make candied fruits, but the highest yield was obtained from mature squash, and amounted to 654 kg from the Sosnovsky variety , in the Orange variety 696 kg from one ton of prepared raw material, while in the Orange variety of candied fruits it was obtained 42-64 kg more than in the Sosnovsky variety, depending on the degree of ripening STI. The tasting committee rated candied fruits obtained from the fruit of the zucchini of the Orange variety higher by 0.3-0.5 points than from the Sosnovsky variety. In terms of chemical composition, candied fruits prepared from the raw material of ripe zucchini fruits exceeded 1.2-1.5 times - from unripe fruits. Ready candied fruits can be used as an independent form, as well as for the preparation of other types of products in the food industry.
