Assessment of physical and chemical properties of cereals developed on the basis of IR drying technology

The article presents the results of the physico-chemical analysis of buckwheat that does not require cooking, a traditional and promising production method. Such quality parameters as mass fraction of moisture, water binding capacity, titratable acidity, and kinetics of swelling were determined. The indicated methods revealed the content of dextrins, the coefficient of digestibility and the bulk density of the samples were established. The determination of the content of essential amino acids and calculation of the amino acid scores conclude a series of studies. The obtained data are analyzed and allow to prove the expediency of using the obtained buckwheat, which does not require cooking, as a basis for the development of food concentrate mixtures with improved consumer properties.
