Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cold plasma radiation to provide a decontaminating effect against blocking toxigenic molds of wheat grain. As the object of the study, a grain of soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) of the Lubava variety was selected, grown in the period from 2014 to 2018, grown in the steppe zone of the Chelyabinsk region. This region belongs to the zone of risky agriculture, characterized by significant fluctuations in air temperature during the active growing season and variability in the degree of soil moisture, which is favorable for the development of pathogenic microflora, and as a result of the accumulation of mycelial toxigenic microflora, which can make the resulting raw ingredients potentially dangerous for the consumer. A possible solution to this problem may be the use of cold plasma radiation to block the development of toxigenic molds of wheat grain. Within the framework of the presented study, the identification of mycelial toxigenic microflora revealed a pronounced decontamination effect on toxigenic molds of the species Alternaria alternate and Aspergillus candidus, the identification of which in the control samples had high score values (the coincidence coefficient is 1.918 and 2.312, respectively). Toxigenic mold of the Fusarium spp. type, detected at the initial stage before processing wheat grain with cold plasma radiation, had a coincidence coefficient of 1.854, while after processing, the minimum coincidence indicators were determined – less than 1.7. The reduction in the number of toxigenic molds and the level of mycotoxins in wheat grain after its treatment with cold plasma radiation determined this method as effective for decontamination of grain mass in the technology for obtaining safe raw ingredients.
