The organoleptic characteristics, chemical composition and safety values are decisive for the choice of which type of vegetable raw material to use. By introducing a vegetable ingredient in the form of extruded chickpea flour (hereinafter extruded chickpea flour) in the production of soft cheese, it is possible to reduce the production costs of the product. It has to be taken into account that the traditional taste of the product is affected by increasing the dosage of extruded chickpea flour.
Samples of soft cheese without ripening were produced using classical soft cheese technology.
The extrusion process is carried out as follows: the bean component is grabbed by a part of the machine (auger), moved along the body, passes through the compression process, heated by the friction of the product on the surface of the rotating screw and the body, where it is homogenised. The whole procedure lasts 1-2 minutes, the pressure and temperature increase and reach MPa50 and °C180, which contributes to the inactivation of pest components.
Having analysed a fair amount of literature, we have concluded that two options are possible when conducting research to determine the stage of application of the plant component.
In the first variant, flour from extruded chickpea was added after whey separation during cheese grain staging. The amount applied varied from 1% to 10% in steps of 2%.
In the second variant, extruded chickpea flour was added to the mixture before heat treatment in the same amounts. Adding extruded chickpea flour prior to heat treatment (option 2) led to clumping of the mixture and hence deterioration of the organoleptic properties of the product. Heat treatment can also lead to a loss of the nutritional properties of the plant component.
The first method of flour application of extruded chickpea flour was preferable, as the distribution of the component was more uniform and the product had better organoleptic properties than the product obtained with the second method of flour application.
During the experimental studies, it was necessary to select a dose of extruded chickpea flour that would improve the organoleptic characteristics of the soft cheese and not compromise the rheological characteristics of the product.
To determine the dosage of extruded chickpea flour addition, samples of soft cheeses were made with a dose of vegetable flour from 1% to 10% in increments of 2%. The quality of the obtained samples of soft cheese was evaluated according to the method approved by GOST 33630-2015 Cheeses and processed cheeses. Methods of control of organoleptic characteristics [32].
The organoleptic evaluation of the cheese samples was carried out in the following order: appearance, including colour and texture, smell when smelling, consistency, then smell and taste (final evaluation of smell and consistency).
In this method, the evaluation was carried out on a point50 scale, where 20 points were allocated to taste and odour, 10 points to consistency, and 5 points each to colour, pattern, appearance, packaging and labelling.
The tasting scale is shown in the table 19.

The organoleptic characteristics of the soft cheese are shown in the table and20 in the figure A soft cheese without a vegetable component was used 9.as a control sample. Due to the fact that the product under study has no packaging, in the scoring it was assumed that for all samples this indicator corresponds to the maximum possible score

Soft cheeses that receive a flavour and aroma score of less than 10, or a taste, aroma and consistency score15 of less than 10, or an overall score of less than 1025, are not permitted for sale.
Figure 9 - Profilograms of organoleptic parameters for samples of soft cheese with extruded chickpea flour
Fig. 10 shows the profile diagram of the total score for soft cheeses with different m.d. of bean filler.
Figure 10 - Profilogram of the score of the soft cheese prototypes
It was found that the organoleptic score decreased with increasing dosage of the vegetable filler. Thus, the consistency, colour, flavour and aroma were practically rated at and47 points 46respectively with the addition and3 5% of the filler. An increase in the dose of the filler to 7-10 % resulted in an overly pronounced taste of the legume component.
Each assessor had to rank the soft cheese samples with different amounts of vegetable ingredient, after which a coefficient of concordance was calculated (appendix 7).
In this case, the majority of the experts identified samples of soft cheese with extruded chickpea flour in quantities of 3 and 5%, and the Kendall's concordance coefficient was 0.86. It can therefore be assumed that the experts' opinions on the samples of soft cheese with 3-5% extruded chickpea flour are in good agreement.
The organoleptic characteristics of soft cheese with extruded chickpea flour are shown in the table below 21.

According to the results of the experiments, a product was obtained when bean flour in an amount of 3-5% of the mixture weight was used in the cheese mass,
closest to its traditional counterpart, with a pleasant nutty smell in organoleptic terms.
The soft cheese with a plant-based component is a low white cylinder, with an even distribution of the bean filling throughout the mass, weighing up to one kilogram, the surface moistened, without any slivers; the consistency is uniform, moderately dense, crumbly but not crumbly. The taste and aroma of the cheese is pure sour milk, with a slight nutty flavour and aroma due to the filling.
In the course of the research, the effect of the mass fraction of extruded chickpea flour on the water-holding capacity of the clots was determined. On the basis of the data obtained, a graph of the dependence of the moisture-holding capacity of the studied samples on the duration of centrifugation was plotted (Figure 11).
