Abstract
SE «Ukrmetrteststandart» uses the working standard ВТУ-36 (method of high-temperature vacuum drying) to determine moisture mass fraction in cereals and cereal products. ВТУ-36 components and characteristics are presented. According to results of systematic studies, ВТУ-36 satisfactorily reproduces the certified values of grain moisture content obtained by using standards of a higher level. All-Ukrainian (МПР № 01-05-2006 ФХ) and international (COOMET 379/RU/06 and COOMET 479/RU/09) comparisons in determining moisture mass fraction in cereals and cereal products showed that ВТУ-36 results are equivalent to the results of vacuum-heat units of other participants for whole wheat grains. However, it is not correct to compare the moisture determination results obtained by means of vacuum-heat units with the results of the air-thermal method (ISO 712).
