Instant grains in sports nutrition: effect of microwave processing on moisture content and moisture-binding capacity

Abstract

The article discusses the effect of microwave processing on the moisture content and moisture-binding capacity of grains. The samples of grains that underwent technological processing were analyzed. Two types of grains common in sports nutrition were studied: pearl barley and buckwheat. The effect of microwave processing on the moisture and moisture-binding capacity of grains was evaluated. The optimal modes of microwave processing of grains were established.
