Valuable representative of Triticum polonicum L. for growing in Ukraine

Nowadays when agrarians reopen neglected and underutilized wheat species, Triticum polonicum is in the focus of researchers breeders. However, being cultivated different locations, a crop may change its technological biochemical parameters. Given these considerations, we set purpose to investigate features T. grain grown Ukraine.
 Materials methods. The analyses were carried out on var. pseudocompactum by traditional farming techniques. protein content was determined Kjeldahl digestion. carotenoid level spectrophotometrically assessed acetone extracts. total antioxidant activity investigated DPPH assay. Fatty acids analyzed gas chromatography. test weight vitreousness evaluated compliance with State Standard Ukraine. hardness YPD-300 tester. Pasta methodical guidelines. color express-method. increase index, volume water absorption yellowness whiteness index calculated.
 Results discussion. One thousand-kernel Polish considerably higher than that check cv. Spadshchyna (check durum variety), though it did not reach maximum because polonicum. There upward trends kernel number per plant comparison (though differences statistical significance) due greater productive tillering capacity. much lower some published data, but significantly cultivar (17.6±0.8% vs. 12.7 ± 0.4%). low (1.98±0.3 mg/kg), however b* value (indicator yellowness) for pasta relatively high (15). palmitic acid Spadshchyna. 187 N means closer medium hard or even soft BREAD wheats wheat. from can be classed as excellent cooking loss 5.79±0.16%. Through lens WAI (216 4 g/100 g raw pasta), also better Spadshchyna.
 Conclusions. Being Ukraine, formed more kernels spike had It showed values plant. source large seeds. Spadshchyna, which makes content. suitable industry involved hybridization quality indicators: very low, YI fairly high, low. At same time, most other parameters comparable those cultivar; thus, crossing aimed at improving certain performance, expected deteriorate major scores enhance them.
