Abstract
This article discusses the possibility of mathematical modeling andoptimization of parameters of the process of buckwheat. As a result of the research,a regression equation was obtained, which allows to predict the optimal extrusionparameters of buckwheat and reduce the number of experiments. Extrusionprocessing is one of the most attractive methods of processing grain crops to obtainsemi-finished products. The efficiency and effectiveness of the use of this equationis proved in laboratory conditions. The influence of all factors was studied duringthe extrusion of buckwheat grain, pressure, temperature, processing time andhumidity of the feedstock on the yield of blasted cereal, the content of watersoluble substances, the swelling and density of the extruded raw material. Amathematical model of the process of extrusion of buckwheat grain made itpossible to find rational process parameters allowing to obtain extrudates with highconsumer properties.
