Abstract

The increasing demand for healthy food encourages producers to seek alternatives to traditional ingredients. The production of sponge cakes with the addition of "Zdoroviа" flour and carob powder (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a promising direction in the food industry due to its beneficial properties, such as high nutritional value, natural sweetness and low glycemic index. However, the production of sponge cakes with the addition of "Zdoroviа" flour and carob powder, despite its promise, is accompanied by certain risks and dangers. It has been hypothesized that the introduction of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system into the technological process of producing health-oriented sponge cakes will make it possible to identify and control potential biological, chemical and physical hazards at all stages of product manufacturing. This will help ensure the consistent quality and safety of finished products, increase their nutritional value and competitiveness, and also contribute to building consumer trust in health-oriented products. Therefore, the aim of the article is to analyze the features of imple­menting the HACCP system and their impact on the quality and safety of health-oriented sponge cakes, specifically using "Health" flour and carob powder. For this purpose, a detailed block diagram was built, critical control points were identified at each stage of the techno­logical process, and the risk index of each critical point was determined. On the basis of the conducted studies, the hazards were analyzed and the HACCP plan for the confectionery workshop of restaurant facilities was developed, as a result of which two CCPs were identified in the process of producing sponge cakes with "Zdoroviа" flour and carob powder.
