Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the influence of the post-harvest ripening period of wheat grains in open storages on their technological and biochemical properties. The influence of storage of samples of wheat grain in open warehouses during the ripening period on physical and chemical parameters is analyzed. As a result of storage in open warehouses, the temperature on the upper 5 cm surface of a heap of wheat grains stored during the ripening period after harvest on hot summer days turned out to be above 50 ºС on 22 days out of 30. Also due to the heat of the air and poor heat transfer of wheat grains in the upper 5- and 10-cm layers of a heap, compared with 15- and 20-cm layers, the natural weight, ash content, deformation index of gluten and the conventional units of indicators of the falling number have deteriorated.
