ESTIMATION OF CONSUMER PROPERTIES AND SURFACE MORPHOLOGY OF THE UNGROUND BUCKWHEAT OF DIFFERENT COLORS
Changes in the color of buckwheat with increased time of grain processing in the steamer of periodic action is established. The proposed method of hydrothermal processing (HTP) ensures obtaining the color uniformity of kernel buckwheat in six different colors. The range of steaming time during which the kernel color changed from light grey to dark brown is investigated. The results of studies of the unground buckwheat chemical composition in different heat grain treatment modes are given. The surface microstructure of buckwheat in different colors are investigated by the microphotographs taken on the electronic scanning electron microscope JSM-840.
