Abstract
The selection of suitable storage conditions and monitoring of changes in the wheat grains using suitable parameters are of great importance for the sustainability of technological quality and utilization of the entire stored quantity of wheat grains without waste generation until the next harvest. Wheat grains of three varieties, stored for 12 months at three different conditions of environmental temperature and relative humidity (% RH): (1) 40 ± 1.06 °C; 45 ± 3% RH; (2) 4 ± 1.05 °C; 45 ± 4% RH, (3) 15 ± 8.51 °C; and 67 ± 4% RH, were compared for germination percentage, protein and advanced glycation end products content, oxidoreductive and proteolytic enzyme activity, wet gluten content and falling number. A decrease in the activity of guaiacol peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, as well as an increase in the content of advanced glycosylation end products and the falling number, was observed in wheat grains during storage conditions at 40 ± 1.06 °C; 45 ± 4% RH. On the other hand, storage of wheat grains at lower temperatures resulted in much lower changes in examined parameters, among which advanced glycation end-product content, peroxidase activity and falling number values were the greatest. Based on the obtained results, it can be assumed that changes in guaiacol peroxidase activity and falling number might be used as indicators of improper wheat grain storage.
