EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF WHOLE GRAINS AND LEGUMES

Grain products are a fundamental element in ensuring food security for the population. In recent years, the demand for whole grain products has significantly increased. Whole grain products are highly nutritious due to their balanced content of amino acids and other macro- and microelements. The aim of this study is to investigate the chemical and amino acid composition of whole grain raw materials such as triticale grain of the «Dauren» variety, buckwheat grain of the «Dikul» variety, and lentil grains of the «Sakura» and «Shyrayly» varieties. The chemical research revealed that whole leguminous crops have a high protein content, which is approximately twice as high as that of whole grains, with protein content values of 28,75% and 24,67%, respectively. The analysis of the conducted studies showed that the amino acid composition of the proteins in whole grains and whole leguminous crops is characterized by a high content of essential amino acids. Leguminous crops have a higher content of arginine and lysine compared to whole grains. Whole leguminous crops have a higher protein content than whole grains, making them important for increasing the nutritional value of food products when mixed. Additionally, various processing methods and their effects on preserving nutritional properties were studied.
