Abstract

High susceptibility of barley to pathogenic microorganisms leads to decrease in quality. Under the influence of metabolic products of microorganisms biochemical processes occur in grain leading to changes in the protein-carbohydrate balance, the emergence of a large number of low molecular weight proteins and increased acidity. During the long process of molding grain can form toxic substances such as aflatoxins, citrinin, ochratoxin, zearalenone. Mycotoxins belong to a group of natural toxic chemicals and constitute a serious risk to human health and animals because of their toxicogenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic effects. This grain mass can not be used in the production of malt and beer. The level of infestation of grain by microorganisms depends on many factors. Conditions of processing of grain after harvest is one of the main factors, therefore, timely technological treatment of barley grain is important. Traditional methods of grain processing do not always meet the safety requirements, some methods are energy intensive and have a very limited scope. The effective method of reducing the mycelial infestation − method of electrophysical influence, in particular, microwave heating.
