Varietal differences of grain sorghum in the quality of spare grain polymers

Abstract

It is determined the number of drops in 34 samples of grain sorghum, as well as in wheat samples with 20% of the sample weight replaced by sorghum material. The attack capacity of grain sorghum starch was assessed by changing the number of drops when provoked by wheat amylase-active material. The state of the carbohydrate-amylase complex was evaluated by the value of the fall number, by its change when exposed to active amylases, and by the change in the fall number of wheat material when it was partially replaced with sorghum material. The state of the protein-proteinase complex was evaluated by the degree and nature of integration of biopolymers of sorghum grain with wheat gluten from grain from industrial sowing, through washing of gluten with the addition of ground sorghum grain and changes in the rheological properties of gluten. On the varietal material of grain sorghum, significant differences in the properties of spare grain polymers were revealed. Sorghum varieties with the potential to improve the properties of wheat flour in mixtures were identified. According to the complex of features, the most universal variety of grain sorghum for mixing with wheat material can be recognized as Cream. Its material did not respond to amylase provocation, moderately improved the low quality of wheat, demonstrated integration with gluten of various qualities, moderately strengthened weak and weakened strong gluten.
