Study of safety and quality indicators of cereals and legumes in the southern part of Russia

Abstract

The objects of the study were wheat, corn and soybean samples. We carried out studies to determine the quality indicators, as well as the content of grain impurities and insect infestation of the studied samples of the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region. It was determined that the fiber content in the wheat is quite high. It was revealed that the content of pesticides and mycotoxins in wheat, corn and soybean crops are safe food raw materials. Harmful impurities were found in the crops, which indicates that the conditions for growing, processing, transporting and storing grain and leguminous crops are correct. Every safety index at the objects under investigation complies with the requirements of the regulatory documentation.
