In the conditions of high competition in the flour market, the development of models that allow to predict the quantitative and qualitative indicators of flour during grain milling and to understand the correlation between grain and flour quality indicators is extremely relevant and requires efforts in this direction. 64 samples of wheat grain from mills situated in different regions of Ukraine, grown in 2019 and 2020 and straight flour obtained from this wheat in the laboratory at the mill MLU-202 were investigated. The data obtained confirmed great variability of grain and flour quality indicators which can depends on many factors: from agro-climatic condition and variety features to milling flow diagram and tempering conditions before milling. Wheat quality indicators are shown next results: test weight values ranged from 727 to 845 g/l, vitreousness – from 25 to 83%, initial moisture content – from 10.4 to 13.7%, protein content – from 11.3 to 17.2%, ash content – from 1.35 to 1.73%, gluten content – from 17.6 to 38.3%, gluten deformation index – from 46 to 96 units and Falling Number – from 309 to 500 seconds. Analyzing of correlations between grain quality indicators and flour quality indicators shown: the direct extra high correlation between grain protein content and flour protein content (r=0.95) and also between grain gluten content and flour gluten content (r=0.87); average correlation between ash content of grain and ash content of flour (r=0.68). According to milling properties was found: average correlation of initial grain moisture content and flour yield (r=0.52), a direct high correlation between grain vitreousness and the ratio of reduction and break flour (r=0.70), and an inverse average correlation of test weight with ratio of break and reduction bran (r=–0.61). It has been established that the flour strength W is affected by a set of grain quality indicators: grain protein content with high coefficient correlation (r=0.70), grain gluten content and grain Falling Number with average correlation coefficients – r=0.53 and r=0.56, respectively. For other rheological indicators, such as stability, water absorption capacity and P/L, no high correlation coefficients were found, since their values depend on a complex of various indicators of grain. The obtained correlations can be used to improve the efficiency of grain blending before milling, to substantiate the modes of tempering, grinding, and flour mixing stage in existing mills, as well as to design a milling flow diagram for new mills.

The article presents the results of comparative studies of quality indicators of wheat patent commercial flour, spelta flour and 9 mixtures of them, obtained by mixing in a different ratio (from 10 to 90%). It has been established that wheat flour have a lower protein content (11.5%) and lower gluten content (26.0%) against (14.2%) and (36.5%), respectively, in spelt flour. Rheological analysis of wheat dough showed high strength W=280×10-4J, high value of P = 109mm, but as a result of insufficient extensibility L=66mm a suboptimal curve configuration P/L=1.65 for baking purpose (P/L=0.8–1.2) is obtained. Conversely, spelt flour has strength W=110×10-4J, low resistance to extension (50mm), high extansability (95mm), low ratio P/L=0.56, dough from spelt flour is highly fluid and sticky. Therefore, to provide wheat dough specific technological properties proposed mixing wheat flour and spelt flour. It has been established that the addition of spelt flour in an amount up to 30–40% increases the volume of bread in 1.13–1.16 times from 440 cm3 to 480–490 cm3 and its porosity from 78% for wheat flour to 81% for wheat-spelt mixture. The best combination of sensory characteristics (shape, condition and color of the surface, the elasticity and color of the crumb, the nature of the porosity, taste and aroma of the bread) was obtained by adding spelt flour in an amount of 20–30%: this is the ratio recommended in the production of wheat-spelt flour. That will increase the cost of end–use flour in 1.15–1.25 times, but taking into account the need to adjust commercial wheat flour with enzyme preparations, the cost increase will be less. Such flour will have not only good bread-making properties thanks to the addition of spelt flour but also high content of various vitamins and trace elements, will have a pleasant yellowish color of crust. Since its ash content will be less 0.60%, such this flour can be named "wheat-spelt flour of Type 600".

Practice of processing of new types of wheat is widespread in the world, but it’s almost unknown in the CIS countries, because selection for many years aimed at obtaining exclusively high protein bread-baking varieties of wheat. But not known what technological properties of flour possesses from wheat types of a special intended purpose, and that it’s necessary to consider when conducting varietal grinding of such raw material. The alveograph measures the viscoelastic properties of wheat flour. According to the standard method ISO 27971 the amount of added water is initially calibrated directly as a percentage of dough moisture. This method is designed for standard types of flour and may not be suitable for evaluating the rheological properties of flour with different water absorption capacity. To find out the properties of new types, standard methods may not be suitable, therefore, methods should be studied and adapted if necessary. To investigate the relationship between water absorption capacity and viscoelastic properties of the dough, alveograph tests were conducted on eight flour samples obtained from different types of wheat. The studies were performed using a standard test (calculated for WAC of flour = 53%) and a test with adaptive moistening, for which the amount of added water was calculated according to the water absorption capacity (WAC) of the flour, which was determined on mixolab. Flour from common red wheat (Kuyalnik) is the benchmark of common bakery wheat and according to the results of standard alveogram has the highest strength (W) and elasticity (Ie) of all samples. The wheat with W= 43910-4J corresponds to strong wheat (W>20010-4J). The addition of water in accordance with the WAC softens the dough W=26010-4J, but it`s still optimal for bakery purposes. The results of studies of common black wheat (Chornobrova) correlate with the results of wheat Kuyalnik, but the baking properties were worse. For waxy wheat (Sofiika), the test on the alveograph with adaptive moistening gave her more water, which led to an increase in elasticity (Ie=52.4%) and extensibility (L=77 mm) and became closer to an optimal P/L ratio (0.74) that was more suitable for the bake bread (0.8-1.2). Flour from soft wheat is expected to have average baking properties (W>15510-4J), but in all respects it is slightly better than Chornobrova. Adaptive moistening, unlike the sharp deterioration of rheological characteristic of Chornobrova, does not alter the properties of the Belyava and Oksana dough, due to the low WAC value (53.8% and 54.0%). Spelt wheat flour has low strength(W<6210-4J), lower P/L ratio 0.25-0.50 and unsuitable (fluid, sticky) test consistency. All samples of Spelt with adaptive moistening showed similar result – its decrease of P indicator and increase of extensibility (L). In a result we observe decrease of P/L ratio to 0.18-0.29, thus indicating extremely extensible doughs with very little elasticity. For all samples, with adaptive moistening a decrease in resistance to extension (P) and an increase in extensibility (L) are observed, in a result of the decline in the P/L ratio. Adaptive moistening for common wheat (Kuyalnik) will show the change in P and L and the P/L ratio in real cooking conditions, since the standard alveograph test assesses only the potential of wheat. By adjusting the amount of water, we can achieve optimal dough characteristics for different products. For soft and spelt wheat, adaptive moistening is not necessary, because the WAC and moisture content are the same, and according to the standard of the experiment. It is advisable to carry out an alveograph test with adapted moistening for waxy wheat, that giving it more water, which leads to an increase in elasticity and extensibility, as a consequence, and leading to an optimal P/L ratio that was more suitable for the bake bread (0.8-1.2). Based on its special application, it is necessary to develop specific recommendations for determining its properties on the alveograph.

For the widespread introduction of different species of wheat into processing, it is necessary to understand the features of the physicochemical properties of these wheats, which determine the behavior of the grain during its milling and the obtaining flour during the dough making process. Technological properties of grain of four different wheat species and the laboratory milling flour obtained from them were investigated. It was found that according to grain quality indicators, milling properties and quality flour indicators, 4 species of wheat grain grown in the same agro-climatic conditions showed significant differences. Hard wheat with GPC-B1 gene (breeding line) has a superior baking strength due to the GPC-B1 gene, which significantly increases the protein content in grain (13.51%), gluten content (26.1%), test Zeleny (58 ml) and ash content (1.69%) compare to common hard wheat (Kuyalnyk variety). As a result, flour shown high values of: strength (W=396×10-4 J), high SRC in lactic acid (160%), high dough stability (>30 minutes), low degree of softening of the dough (43 UF). According to the obtained data, waxy wheat (Sofiika variety) consimilar with common baking wheat, excluding low value of Falling Number (FN=70 seconds). When determining on the alveograph, the dough is very tight (L<40 mm) due to high water absorption capacity (WAC=67.3%). The results of SRC test in sodium carbonate confirmed the high value of starch damage with the highest result (108%). Soft wheat (Bilyava variety) differs significantly from common hard wheat. In terms of wheat quality indicators, it can be attributed to medium bread-baking strength. Such flour characterized by less ash content (0.47%), but higher whiteness (70.7 units), less protein content (10.79%), less elasticity (Ie=44.3), but greater extensibility, resulting in a lower P/L ratio (0.83) and less water absorption capacity (WAC=52.7%). According to milling properties was investigated that hard wheat with the GPC-B1 locus and common hard wheat Kuyalnik shown similar results. The total yield of flours from these wheats during milling is above 70%, which indicates the economic feasibility of their processing into flour. During milling waxy wheat has a decrease in the reduction flour yield and an increase in the reduction bran yield. Absolutely different results in milling properties show soft wheat. The total yield of soft flour is less – 67.17% with significant increasing of break flour yield and decreasing reduction flour yield. Different properties of grain and flour determine the different end use of grain of each wheat species. Wheat with the GPC-B1 gene can be used in production of flour which is used in low-temperature technologies for the manufacture of frozen convenience foods and also as improver for increase the rheological properties of the dough or for pasta-making properties. For end use of waxy wheat (Sofiika variety) can be recommended in the production of pasta products. Although waxy flour can be used as regulator in flour blending for correcting the indicators of common baking wheat. Blends of flour from waxy wheat grain and flour from hard wheat grain with GPC-B1 gene are ideal for making frozen products. Soft wheat (Belyava variety) flour preferred for low moisture crackers, cookies and can be added in a small amount to special types of bread to give a lighter color to the crumb.

The most common in Ukraine today is the use of a synthetic group of technological additives used in flour mills,bakeries, confectioneries, etc. However, more promising and natural is the group of herbal supplements. The articleanalyzes the influence of different potato products in the amount of 4-10 % and extrudates of different cereals on thequality of flour products. The change of properties of trial baking in comparison with the control sample is investigated.The materials of the article show the quality indicators of wheat flour TM "Bogumila" in comparison with therequirements of GSTU 46.004-99. The composition of model mixtures of wheat flour: potatoes in the ratios 96...90:4...10, as well as mashed potatoes and mash 5-10% was developed. Physicochemical parameters of laboratory bakingof bread were determined for the obtained samples.Extrusion of model mixtures of grain with raw potatoes at a temperature of + 100-120 °C and a vapor pressureof 0.2 MPa. Extruded mixtures of wheat and potatoes were added to wheat flour TM "Bogumila" in the amount of 5; 7.5and 10 % by weight of flour before kneading the dough and performed a test baking of bread. Organoleptic andphysicochemical parameters were evaluated for the obtained bread samples. Changes in the baking properties of flourwith the addition of similar crushed extrudates in different proportions have been studied. It was found that the starchcontent in extruded samples increases with increasing humidity and reaches a minimum value with a minimum contentof potatoes and grains of 1.6 and 0.6 mm.It was found that the addition of 7.5 % raw potato pulp and raw 5 % mashed potato in patent baking wheat flouris optimal due to the best quality indicators of products without significant deterioration of traditional organolepticproperties and somewhat delayed staling. Extruded wheat flour obtained from a mixture of wheat and potato, is recommendedas an additive to baking flour in an amount of not more than 7.5 %.
