Relevance of research of consumer characteristics of hemp products obtained by innovative technologies

Goal. The aim of the work is to study the consumer characteristics of hemp products obtained by innovative technologies. The development of new methods of obtaining hemp products using innovative technologies is given considerable attention all over the world. The paper proved that the expansion of the system for assessing the quality of consumer characteristics of new products obtained from hemp stems and seeds, obtained by innovative technologies is an important question. Methodology. During the study, the methods provided by the current standards were used. A review of sources of technical and commodity literature was carried out using information and analytical methods of comparative and system analysis. Results. The article presents an analysis of the current state of the processing of hemp stems and seeds in different countries of the world. The analysis of the quality of the products obtained was carried out using various technologies. It has been established that in Ukraine, despite the increase in the technological activity of hemp fiber and seed producers, there is almost no commodity assessment of the qualitative properties of the new products obtained, which affect the human body. The paper provides an assessment of the commodity characteristics of hemp products on the basis of the existing regulatory framework and identifies the tasks to expand this assessment depending on the functional purpose of innovative products. Special attention should be paid to the study of sanitary and hygienic properties, antiseptic characteristics of hemp products, since there are no regulatory documents for their determination. All of this is the basis for further research. In the future, consumer characteristics will be investigated, taking into account the sanitary and hygienic, antiseptic, physical and mechanical properties and the energy and medicinal value of hemp food products. Scientific novelty. The paper highlights the existing system for assessing the quality of hemp products based on the outdated regulatory framework. The quality indicators used for the modern characterization of hemp products do not reflect the functional purpose of innovative products made from hemp stems and seeds, and therefore cannot be used to determine their competitiveness in the domestic and world markets. Therefore, on the basis of the analysis, the work proves the need to expand the system of quality indicators of hemp products, taking into account their effect on the human body, that is, sanitary and hygienic, antiseptic, biological properties, as well as the energy and medicinal value of hemp foods. Practical significance. The proposed studies can be used to create regulatory documents for hemp fibers obtained using innovative technologies. The obtained research results can be used to identify counterfeit hemp products crossing the border of Ukraine
