ОЦЕНКА ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ ПРИГОДНОСТИ ПРИРОДНОЙ СОЛИ МЕСТОРОЖДЕНИЙ САРЫСУСКОГО РАЙОНА ДЛЯ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА ПИЩЕВОЙ ПОВАРЕННОЙ СОЛИ

Abstract

The article presents a technological assessment of natural salt deposits of the Sarysu district in the Zhambyl region as a potential raw material for the production of edible table salt. The aim of the study was to determine the compliance of the chemical composition of salt deposits with the requirements of GOST 13830–91 and to substantiate the possibility of their industrial application in the food industry. A comprehensive set of laboratory analyses was conducted, followed by a comparison of the obtained results with the regulatory quality standards for edible salt. It was established that most of the studied deposits require technological processing due to the presence of impurities that limit their direct use. The most promising deposit is “Maidengenkol,” characterized by a high sodium chloride content and indicators close to the standards of higher quality grades. The technological feasibility of applying purification and recrystallization processes to improve the product grade has been substantiated. The obtained results may be used in the development of technological regulations for natural salt processing and in the formation of a regional raw material base for the food industry.
