ABSTRACT


The material under examination was the grain of winter
wheat cultivar Rysa from a field experiment carried out during a three-year-period
(2000-2003) in ODR Kalsk. The effect of increase level of nitrogen fertilization
(90, 120 and 150 kg N · ha-1)
and retardants (Bercema, Cerone, Bercema and Cerone) on the baking value of wheat
were tested. Total wheat flour protein and gluten content increased significantly
with increasing in nitrogen fertilization dose. Agricultural factors had no significant
influence on the gluten quality, Zeleny test and water absorption. Higher doses
of the nitrogen fertilization had positive effect on the α-amylase activity
and the rheological dough properties. An increase in nitrogen fertilization caused
an increase in dough development time and stability time but decrease its softening.
Bread wasn’t differed with agrotechnical factors and was characterized by high
volume and regularly crumb porosity.

Key words: baking value, nitrogen fertilization, retardants, winter wheat.
