Abstract

In comparison with soft wheat grain, spelt wheat contains more protein, reducing sugars, polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, and mineral elements. The aim of the research was to assess the quality and nutritional value of spelt wheat composite mixtures. It was found that the composition "Fitness mix spelt wheat" prevails in the amount of lipids (12.5 times) and protein (15.9 %), the size of which is 3-5 micrometers; is characterized by an increased content of essential mineral elements - Cu and Mg (3 times), Mo, Zn and Mn (1.8-1.9 times), Ca and Fe (1.6 times), Si (29.8 %), P (by 20.2 %), vitamins - riboflavin (2.8 times), thiamine (22 %) and tocopherol. The mixture "Wheat with spelt wheat" surpasses its analogue in terms of dietary fiber (by 60.2 %) and ash content (by 18.7 %). The gluten of this mixture belongs to the II quality group. The proteins present are larger - 10-20 micrometers. Of the mineral elements, it contains more conditionally necessary and with an unknown biological role, namely, Al (84.5 times), Sn (4.5 times), Te (2 times), Ti (1.8 times), Cr and V (1.5 times). However, the mixture "Fitness mix spelt wheat" in terms of the actual content of protein and lipids deviates from the norms of TU 10.61.24-093-18256266-2017, the mixture "Wheat with spelt wheat" - in terms of the amount of protein.
