It was established that the question of the grain quality of spring durum wheat is the main one when developing new varieties. First of all, it is important for manufacturers of food products (pasta, cereals) and the grain market as a whole. To create popular varieties, the breeders need methods for evaluating grain material at the early stages of selecting experimental material. One of such express-methods is the method of assessment of the rheological properties of dough made from durum wheat flour (semolina) according to the rating scale of the mixographic curve. It has been found out that the stronger and more elastic gluten is, the more resistant to be overboiled pasta is, and therefore better their nutritional and culinary properties are. This is especially important for the production of thin spaghetti. It has been determined that the rheological indices of the new spring durum wheat variety “Pamyati Vasilchuka” during dough kneading do not correspond to any of the nine points on the rating scale of mixographic curves. There has been considered the possibility to increase the mixogram rating scale to 10 points.
