[Alteration of the biologically active substances of a lipid nature during drying of wheat grain].

The influence exerted by the temperature of the wheat grain heating when it is dried in an "elemental" layeron changes in the content of some biologically active lipid-like substances and of the lipids oxidation products was studied. It was made certain that drying at different temperatures of the grain heating tends to produce material changes in the amount of biologically active substances and the lipids oxidation products. There is observed a drop in the content of carotinoids, phospholipids, of the sum-total and individual forms of tocopherols with simultaneous accumulation of the oxidation products. With rising temperature of heating the grain that undergoes drying the said changes become ever more ostensible.
