SYSTEM APPROACH TO STUDYING THE TECHNOLOGY OF PUMPKIN SEEDS POST-HARVEST TREATMENT
Oleh Tsurkan – doctor of technical sciences, associate professor of the Department of technological processes and equipment of processing and food industries of Faculty of Engineering and Technology of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, director of Separated structural unit «Ladyzhyn Professional College of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University» (5, P. Kravchyka St., Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia region, 24321, Ukraine, e-mail: tsurkan_ov76@ukr.net, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7218-0026 ).
The main technical task of agricultural production in the field of seed production is to obtain conditional seeds that meet national and international quality standards. One of the important stages of growing agricultural seeds is their post-harvest processing, which includes the drying process, which is the main and one of the most effective methods for storing and processing agricultural raw materials.
It is possible to increase the efficiency of the technology of post-harvest treatment of pumpkin seeds by determining the possibilities of using a systematic approach to solving the problems of implementing measures and means, identifying the mechanism of functioning and developing its effectiveness. Modeling and systems analysis are the main research methods and agricultural technology systems. Systems analysis is widely used in the study of various branches of agricultural production.
The article discusses the main features of the components of the technology of post-harvest treatment of pumpkin seeds, forming a certain hierarchical system: technology - technological process - technological operation. The input factors of the pumpkin seed drying system will be such indicators as the supply of the input material, its moisture content, the parameters of the drying agent, and the quality indicators of the input material. A structural diagram of pumpkin seed production has been developed and the target function of the system in matrix form and an algorithm for the implementation of the target function of the pumpkin seed production system have been selected. The matrix of the objective function and the algorithm for its implementation can be used to analyze the pumpkin seed production system as a whole at the level of an individual enterprise, and by individual elements to find bottlenecks in this technology.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
