Abstract The study has been conducted in the Department of Food Technologies of UNUH. Given that physical and mechanical properties of grain vary considerably depending on weather conditions, growing technologies and features of varieties, it requires thorough study. The aim of the research is to study the physical and mechanical properties and quality of wheat, triticale, barley, corn and millet grain depending on weather conditions and properties of the variety. Studies of eligibility of certain varieties of cereal grain for the use in the processing industry is new. The quality of the finished product depends on the quality of raw materials. Conducting research on grain quality showed that the samples are characteristic odor and taste cultures. Technological properties of grain – a set of signs and indicators of quality, characterizing the grain processing and manufacturing processes affect the yield and quality of cereals. The largest linear dimensions were determined for the grain of soft winter wheat of the Lazurnaya variety. Barley grains differ from wheat and triticale grains in grain length, which is about 1.4 and 2.2 times longer, but wheat grains are superior to their sphericity. Wheat grain of Podolyanka, Trizo, Lazurna and Midas varieties; triticale of Khlibodar kharkiv and Avatar varieties; barley of Zvershennya, Komandor and Svagor varieties; corn of DKS 4685×1390 and PR39B58 varieties; millet of Veselopodil´ske 16 variety has marked peculiarities of type and variety, meets the requirements in terms of external geometric parameters, volume, area of the outer surface, sphericity, specific and volume weight, volume of surface layers of grains and mass fraction of endosperm starch, indicating its suitability for processing.
