Medicinal and aromatic plants are intensively studied and applied in traditional and official phytotherapy. Medicinal plants can be cultivated or collected from nature. The pharmacological activity of plants is mainly due to the products of secondary metabolism. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the study of the chemical structure and pharmacological activity of herbal drugs, which contain polyphenols due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and thus a beneficial effect on health.

The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of the micronization process applied on cereals and legumes, as feed components, on the efficiency of feed conversion, digestibility, and daily gain of weaned piglets. The results showed that the digestibility of the investigated micronized maize and wheat flakes was higher than that of the respective raw grains. The digestibility of the feed mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes was higher (84.74%) than that of the commercial feed mixture (80.27%). The feed mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes manifested beneficial effects on weaned piglets’ daily gain, feed conversion, and digestibility in the feeding trial.

Heavy metals represent a very significant group of environmental pollutants because they are potential metabolic inhibitors. Therefore, a study was conducted where the height of the wheat stem, as well as the surface of the leaves in the budding and leafing stages, were examined when contaminated with a mixture of heavy metals in concentrations of 250 and 500 ppm. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of heavy metals on the initial phenophase of wheat varieties Pobeda and Ljiljana. An experiment was carried out in volumetric flasks where two different concentrations of a mixture of heavy metals 250 ppm and 500 ppm were added under controlled conditions.

With the payment of subsidies in agriculture, the Republic of North Macedonia remains consistent in supporting the development and advancement of the agricultural sector and specifically tobacco production as one of the main branches of the Macedonian economy. Of course, it is necessary to comply with the common agricultural policy of the European Union, which implies a change in domestic legislation. More specifically, it is a matter of passing three key laws for harmonizing national policies with EU agricultural policies, that is, the Law on Direct Payments, the Law on Rural Development and the Law on Regulation of Markets.

Water is the best-known universal solvent, which in nature is almost always loaded with minerals. Those minerals can be removed by purifying water, which involves physical and chemical processes that produce higher-quality water. The goal of this work was the development of an economical mobile device for softening and heating water used in packaging washing processes in the food industry. The designed device was built and assembled, and then tested in operation at the PIK Oplenac winery in Topola. It was concluded that the device provides the desired quality of packaging washing and the required amount of softened and heated water.

Citrus paradisi fruit and Rosa canina dried fruit are rich sources of vitamin C. The aim of this work was to highlight their content of lycopene and β- carotene in order to contribute to their chemical profile. For that purpose the conventional extraction method was applied with solvent mixture consisting of 250 ml hexane, 125 ml of acetone, 125 ml of ethanol (2:1:1, v/v/v), and 0.05 % (w/v) butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). UV-Vis spectrophotometric method was performed and for final calculation of concentrations was used Lambert-Beer’s law. Obtained results for content of lycopene and β-carotene in Citrus paradisi fruit and Rosa canina dried fruit are 2.27 and 2.34, that is 2.28 and 7.25 mg per 100 g/fruit weight (FW), respectively. The obtained results are recommending these two nutrients in everyday diet.

Food-grade siloxanes are inert and therefore do not emit dangerous substances. Due to these properties, it is completely harmless, unlike technical silicone. FTIR spectroscopy was used to confirm the assumed mechanism of the crosslinking reaction of siloxane. The addition of highly active silicon (IV) oxide leads to an increase in hardness and tensile strength and affects the final properties of the cross-linked materials. The analysis of the thermal properties of the synthesized siloxane materials and their nanocomposites with the addition of hydrophilic and hydrophobic particles of silicon (IV) oxide was performed using a DSC device, which showed that the increase in the proportion of nanofillers significantly affects the values of the melting temperatures of silicone elastomer materials.

This paper presents the results on the study of promising vine hybrids in the Nis wine-growing region. The following promising vine hybrids were obtained from three different crossing combinations: NI 11-92 (Prokupac x Gamay Noir), NI 8-92 (Smederevka x Traminer Savagnin rose), and NI 2-92 (Smederevka x Riesling Rhine). The hybrids were created in the “Centre for Viticulture and Winemaking” in Niš. The tested hybrids differed in their cropping potential, grape yield and quality, chemical composition and sensory evaluation of the wine.

Proper selection and knowledge of varieties, processing conditions, and the use of selective yeast cultures during alcoholic fermentation have an important influence on the chemical composition of the distillate. In order to examine the influence of the plum variety on the quality of plum brandy, chemical analysis and sensory evaluation of brandies obtained from different varieties were performed. It was established that the characteristics of plum brandy depend primarily on the variety of plums. The best results were shown by brandies from the Moravka and Čačanska lepotica varieties, while the brandy sample from the Stanley variety was somewhat weaker.

Plants that grow in contaminated soil absorb and accumulate heavy metals in its above ground organs. Research was conducted in which content of heavy metals in wheat stem in phenophases of tillering and beginning of stemgrowth, and also stem hight of wheat from soil level to tip of appical leaf. The aim of research was to determine the influence of heavy metals on first stages of wheat varieties Pobeda and Ljiljana. Trial was conducted in pots with controled conditions of heat and moisture with adding different concentrations of heavy metals mixture. Higher concentrations of heavy metals had significant effect reducing the growht and wheat stem development of both wheat varieties. Significant concentration of heavy metals was detected throug analisis in stems of wheat.
