STUDY OF THE QUALITY OF WHEAT GRAIN BY ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION

Abstract

ANNOTATION
The quality of grain products not only depends on the amount of gluten and protein, but also on the many trace elements contained in the grain. Modern safe food technology for grain products should include control of elemental composition, especially heavy and toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury, lead, arsenic and others in wheat and other cereals. Wheat, as a staple food, is important as a carrier of macro- and microelements in our body. Trace elements in wheat grain are included in starch, protein, sugar, fats and fiber. Therefore, the study of grain quality by elemental composition, using modern instrumental methods, is an urgent task for safe food technology.
