Abstract

The article deals with the problem of applying ecologically safe ways of grain germination in food technologies. Application of low capacity electro physical treatment is considered in particular. The article contains a substantiation of the choice of barley electrocontact treatment modes and results of the work done. It has been established that growth rate and sprout quality can be operated using optimum time of soaking and passing an alternating current of very high frequency through the grain at subsequent stages of cultivation. Reducing the time of technological operations barley sprouts having all the advantages of sprouted grain (an active complex of enzymes, a complex of vitamins, food fibers, mineral salts, sugars and other nutrients) have been prepared.
