Technological properties of grain of new varieties of ancient wheat species

Abstract

Spelt wheat is an ancient species that has almost disappeared from the culture. The higher grain productivity of turgid wheat compared to other species and the similarity in grain characteristics to durum wheat attracts the attention of breeders.

Interest in spelt, spelt and turgid wheat is growing as environmentally friendly crops that are superior to wheat in protein, fiber, B vitamins and minerals. Currently, interest in filmy wheat — spelt and spelt — has increased in Western Europe and the United States. There is information that using them in food reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, which is explained by the higher fiber content in it than in the flour of other types of wheat. The technological characteristics of grain of spelled varieties Runo, Gremme, Gremme 2U, spelled variety Alkoran and promising variety sample Znamenie, durum wheat variety sample Pobeda 70 and turgid wheat variety Kanysh were determined. The conducted research confirmed the possibility of using spelled flour, produced from spelled grain of the Gremme variety, for the production of bakery products of increased biological and nutritional value and with a high organoleptic assessment. The possibility of using grain of new varieties of ancient wheat species in the production of whole and crushed cereals obtained by abrasive grinding has been determined.
