THE MAIN
PRINCIPLES OF SYSTEM MODELING OF
A MULTICOMPONENT FOOD
The methodology of the system of modeling
of multicomponent food is proposed. The practical and theoretical
substantiation of possibility of application of the system of modeling in the
development products recipes has been given. This approach can be used in
modeling of food products of the new generation and represents a methodological
basis for the development of new effective technological solutions in the food
industry.
System
modeling is a universal scientific approach, combining many of solvable
problems, is a universal method for the design and management of complex
interconnected systems. System modeling finds application in various areas of
the food industry. System modeling can be defined as a strategy of study and
creation of biological systems, a special case of which are food products,
their recipes and production technologies. The most important applied aspect of
the system modeling is the ability to design formulations of multicomponent
food products with various purposes.
In the
basis of the system of modeling are the laws of mathematical modeling and the
basic principle of the system modeling is the decomposition of complex biological systems in a more simple
subsystems. This principle is called the principle of the hierarchy of the
system. In this case, the mathematical model of the system is constructed by
the block principle: the General model is divided into blocks, which can give relatively
simple mathematical descriptions. All subsystems interact and form a common
mathematical model.
The central
place in the systematic approach takes the concept of the «system». Different
authors, in analyzing this concept, give the definition of the system with
varying degrees of formalization, emphasizing different sides of it. We define
the food system as a set of elements
that are in the relationship and connections with each other and forming a kind
of integrity.
The
main principle of the system modeling is the integrity, the unity of the biosystems, achieved through
interrelations and interactions of the ingredients biosystems and manifested in
the emergence of new qualitative properties of the product, which ingredients
system does not possess. This property is emergence. Emergence - principle, which asserts that the whole (the product)
can be studied, they classified it into parts (ingredients) and then
determining their properties (ingredients), define the properties of a product.
The
main principles of systemic modeling of multicomponent food are set out below.
The principle of integrity implies
considering the ecosystem as a whole thing. An example might be a fermented milk mixture, and starter
culture make their own unique contribution to the properties of the bunch, and
the contribution of this is seen only in a joint operation. Obviously, not
milk, nor leaven separately will not possess the properties of the acidity of a
clot. A fermented milk mixture can be regarded as a variant of biocenosis, and
ingredients of the mixture as a subsystem.
The principle of structure allows to divide
the food biosystem on separate subsystems or components. In other words, any
system can be dismantled «on blocks» of structural units. For example -
prescription ingredients cottage cheese products (cottage cheese, sugar,
fruit-and-berry filling, stabilizer).
The principle of functionality is an
essential attribute of the system. Any system somehow manifests itself in
interaction with the external environment, i.e. has a certain set of functions.
Including, if we consider the food biosystem as a «black box».
Principle of hierarchy gives the
opportunity to rank the elements of the ecosystem for their contribution to the
properties of the whole structure, to evaluate their relationship and to
nominate as synthetic, and the analytical conclusions.
Principle of multiple descriptions
allows us to consider the food biosystem at different levels of the hierarchy
and to nominate, in accordance with the objectives of the researcher, an almost
unlimited number of models describing the functioning of the system.
The principle of minimization of system -
functioning of the system is limited to resource, which is at the minimum.
Here, the system is understood as a man, as a living organism. This principle
is easier to understand on the example of the so-called barrel Liebig - by
analogy with the barrel of the water level at which it can not be higher than
the height of the lower rail.
The
correspondence principle is based on
the consideration of the aggregate of factors (the Mitscherlich rule)
efficiency of functioning of the biosphere is determined by the totality of
factors. Ideally, all of the nutrients must be contained in a simulated
multi-component product supply close to the reference quantities and
proportions.
In
compliance with the modern ideas on the concept of «system modeling» includes
the development of models of regulating all stages of creating products of a
specified quality and representing from the point of view of mathematics of the
system of linear algebraic balance equations, reflecting the changes in the
composition of ingredients, for which they are designed. The availability of
the system allows to adequately describe the change of chemical, vitamin,
mineral and other compositions of the modeled food products depending on the
balance of and norms of used raw materials, which gives an opportunity to
replace empirical creation of products analysis and synthesis of its
mathematical model. The problem is solved by means of targeted variation of
quantitative relations of the ingredients.
