Analysis of quality of «Puma» soybean seeds by luminescent and spectroscopic methods

Abstract

The seed shell of soybeans performs a protective function and participates in the vital processes of the seed. Soybean seeds are characterized by a unique chemical composition. The priority direction in the development of technologies for the production of foodstuffs from soybeans is the control of the quality indicators of their seeds shells. The use of a spectrofluorimeter and an IR-Fourier spectrometer allows you to study the coating material of soybean quickly and without destruction. For the purposes of comparative spectral characterization, studies were carried out on the soybean seed envelope of the untreated and treated modifier mixture. Main characteristics of luminescence excitation spectrum are determined including recording wavelength, excitation spectrum region, excitation wavelength intensity. Parameters glow attenuation are revealed by spectral-kinetic studies of phosphorescence of soybean seeds shell. IR spectroscopic analysis of milled and whole soybean seeds, as well as modifiers, allows us to interpret groupings that have characteristic oscillation frequencies. The main spectral characteristics of the soybean seed shell are determined, including wave numbers, incident radiation wavelength, transmission, and oscillation character. Modifiers adsorbed on surface of soybean seed shell are identified. The type of adsorption of the modifier shell is defined.
