Research works demonstrate a rising demand for high-quality wine in Armenia. Our objective was to produce premium red and rosé wines using the relatively unexplored grape variety “Hastakot”. Throughout the research, we utilized various winemaking technologies to produce red and rosé wines of the grape variety “Hastakot”. Simultaneously, multiple physicochemical and sensory attributes were investigated in the produced must and wine. The obtained results highlight the ability to make unique wines from the grape variety “Hastakot”, indicating a potential market impact and gaining consumer appreciation.

Honey wine, also known as a fermented beverage made from natural honey, is believed to be one of the earliest alcoholic drinks created by ancient humans thousands of years ago, long before the discovery of grape wine. Our research aims to produce wine from honey collected in the Armenian mountains. A series of articles dedicated to the study of the possibility of obtaining alcoholic beverages made by fermenting natural honey (honey wine) using different types of dry active yeast and yeast autolysis derivatives. The data obtained from the research results will be interesting from both the scientific and production points of view. This will allow us to conclude that the selected yeasts can be used for producing such alcoholic beverages.

The role of lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of liver diseases in sows was studied. The state of the antioxidant system in these diseases was also assessed. The liver of sows has been examined after slaughter. There were four groups formed: healthy, acute and chronic hepatosis (HS), and liver cirrhosis. An increase in the level of endogenous intoxication has established, the content of primary (diene conjugates), secondary (malondialdehyde, ketodienes, ketotrienes), and final (Schiff base) products of lipid peroxidation in the blood of sows with hepatopathy. Also noticed that sows with hepatopathy had decreased antioxidant protection, catalase activity, and concentration of tocopherol and ascorbic acid. The level of change was growing with a gravity of hepatopathy. The most expressed disturbance has been observed in sows with liver cirrhosis.

Increasing demand for semi-finished meat has led manufacturers to increase production volumes, renewing and modernizing their assortments in parallel. Technologies and recipes for semi-finished products production are known, in which animal and vegetable raw materials are combined. In addition, it contributes to the rational use of raw materials, the provision of quality food, and the improvement of technical and economic indicators. As a dietary raw material, white cabbage is an effective raw material to use in the production of semi-finished products.

The article presents the results of two-year investigations related to the effect of different soil cultivation methods, application times of equal doses of mineral and organic fertilizers and bio-humus with bentonite application against their background on the dynamics of macronutrients accumulation and their removal/output through the crop yield. Considering the changes in the winter wheat growth, development, and yield capacity under the effect of different soil tillage methods, as well as the applied fertilizers and bentonite in rainfed conditions, and also the nutrition characteristics, to get high and sustainable yield the cultivation of winter wheat should be implemented only through loosening method, while fertilization should be implemented by introducing natural rock bentonite into the soil either on the background of mineral fertilizers (N60P60K60) or bio humus (3.5 t/հa) in autumn, as a result of which the soil air, nutrition and humidity regimes improve, favorable conditions are created for the regular growth and development of the plant and 48.8-52 c/ha grain and 89-96 c/ha straw yield is ensured.

The main goal of the research was to study greenhouse tomato hybrids under hydroponic greenhouse conditions and to enhance the agro economic properties of tomato hybrids, offering farmers the hybrid that ensures high efficiency of tomato cultivation under hydroponic greenhouse conditions. During the vegetation period, phenological observations, biometric measurements, and crop counting were performed. Producing and selling vegetables in the local market is the primary activity of greenhouses and tomatoes occupy a significant place in vegetable production. In recent years, various varieties and hybrids have been imported into Armenia, most without testing. Tomato cultivation in greenhouses occupies a leading place in Armenia. The greenhouse tomato hybrids Merlis, Plumola, and Endeavor were researched.

Brandy spirits, matured for three years and produced with various yeasts, were examined to assess their quality. The study included evaluating sensory indicators and conducting a qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile aromatic compounds. Results showed that brandy spirits fermented with “Oenoferm Bouquet” yeast, displayed the highest concentrations of volatile aromatic substances, with this variant receiving the most favorable tasting evaluation among the sampled spirits.

The article presents the direction of degradation processes in eroded forest brown soils based on the example of the Bazum community of the Lori region. It also shows the qualitative characteristics of these soils, the thickness, the degree of humus content, and the availability of nutrients. New technologies and methods of resource saving tillage and plant care are proposed to mitigate erosion processes, degradation, and desertification of soils based on the research conducted.

To study the adaptive and acclimatization capabilities of imported apple cultivars to expand the geographical boundaries of their use in the specific lowland conditions of the Ararat Valley as well as to understand their genetic resources in new growing conditions, production experiments were set up. The following encouraging data were obtained Based on a two-year study of five new novel cultivars of apple trees in three different areas. Five apple tree cultivars were investigated: Granny Smith, Jonagold Decosta, Fuji, Mutsu, and Gala. During observation and study, they showed a high yield productivity. As a result, all five imported cultivars of apple trees are recommended for growing in intensive orchards and under similar agro-climatic conditions.

A nation’s health and mental strength depend on its food consumption which is one of the main conditions for the full functioning of the human body. In modern times, the demand for sour milk products has increased significantly due to their dietary and medicinal features. The research object was pure cow’s milk, almond milk, almond flour, and samples of sour milk products. During the work, a study of the physicochemical and sensory indicators of the raw materials added almond milk, and the finished product was performed. Based on the sensory and physicochemical indicators of the product, the optimal dosages are as 70 % of cow’s milk, 30 % of almond milk, and 1.5 % of almond flour were determined. Based on the above, it is recommended to introduce the developed technology of lactic acid products in production, which will complement the assortment of sour milk products, enrich the chemical composition of the product, and increase the body’s resistance and digestibility.
