The use of plastic for packaging fillet chicken meat is known to not significantly inhibit the growth of microbial contaminants. One alternative solution to maintain the freshness of fillet chicken meat at low temperature storage (± 4OC) is to use active packaging based on natural ingredients with the addition of antimicrobials. Based on this, the determination of the critical point of damage to fillet chicken meat during storage is important to know as a basis for comparison to determine the effectiveness of packaging applications in extending the shelf life of fresh chicken meat. This study aims to determine the critical point of damage to fillet chicken meat which is packaged using polyethylene (PE) type plastic and stored at a storage temperature of ± 4 °C. The study was conducted using descriptive methods, where fillet chicken meat was stored until characteristics are not favoured by panellists. Observation parameters consisted of acidity (pH), total number of microbial plate counts (TPC), colour change (∆E), texture (elasticity), presence of Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli contamination, and the preference level test for colour, aroma and texture of chicken fillet. The results showed a critical point of damage to fillet chicken meat occurred on the 3rd day marked by a decrease in quality during storage, namely an increase in pH due to decomposition, an increase in the total number of microbes by 2 logs since the first day of storage, lightness on the meat was getting darker, and decreasing the value of the consistency of chicken fillet. Detection of Salmonella, Shigella, and E.coli bacterial contamination was negative on the first day, but was detected positive on the 3rd day. Panellists began rejecting fillet chicken meat on the 3rd day of storage based on the parameters of colour, aroma and texture of chicken meat.

This paper studied the economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration and financial support for development of low-carbon land use in Ukrainian agriculture in the context of climate change. Results of evaluation show that Ukraine plays a strategic role in the soil carbon sequestration in Europe. Ukrainian soils contribution is equal to one third of SOC sequestered in agricultural soils of the European Union. Economic assessment of stocks of SOC in Ukrainian soils indicates that its value is in the range from 14.4 thousand USD/ha (Gray forest soils) to 103.7 thousand USD/ha (Chernozem-meadow soils). The results of analysis revealed that for agricultural production and the formation of the economic fertility of soils in Ukraine, the effects of climate change on warming will be both positive and negative. Taking into account the international experience of adaptation of land use processes to climate change, the basis of strategy of adaptation of agriculture in the enterprises of Ukraine to warming is proposed to put the concept of low carbon land use. As a result of the study it was determined the macroeconomic assessment of the need of financial resource for development potential of low carbon land use in Ukraine for the period until 2030.

The paper deals with the influence of incomes from personal peasant farms on quality of life of the rural population in Ukraine. The estimation of impact of different factors on incomes from personal peasant farms in regional aspect of Ukraine, which is needed for understanding the main trends and directions of development of the given problem in perspective, is reflected in this article. In work was investigated dependence of average per capita average monthly income on the functioning of personal farms in households in the administrative regions of Ukraine from the effect of separate factors. In work was calculated matrix of pair coefficients of correlation between factorial and productive to signs for the studied model. According to the results of the study it is established, that all the selected factors showed a direct or inverse relationship with the change in the productive feature. In order to determine the density of the detected relationship, using a Microsoft Excel processor, we developed a multifactor correlationregression model and calculated its main statistical characteristics. As a result, it was discovered that, there are now clear prerequisites for forming on the basis of mutually beneficial symbiosis, close, aimed at strengthening the private sector in the countryside, integration of personal farms with other agricultural producers, because of the fact that the population is depopulated, because and many other factors confirm the rapid exhaustiveness of extensive production methods that not only hinder further development. to the personal peasant farms, but also contribute to their degradation.
