ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF GRAIN INDUSTRY WASTE AND THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL BASIS FOR THEIR PROCESSING

Abstract

This article analyzes the composition, quantity, and biotechnological processing potential of waste generated during grain processing. The research was conducted under the conditions of Xovos Don Mahsulotlari JSC, where it was determined that a significant amount of waste is produced as a result of grain processing. The compositional analysis of the waste showed that although bran constitutes the major portion, the most important fraction for bioethanol production is grain waste consisting of fine grain particles and broken grains. This fraction accounts for approximately 3.5% of the total mass. Based on calculations, it was substantiated that a certain amount of ethanol can be obtained under practical conditions, considering the starch content of these wastes.The research results indicate that the differential analysis of grain waste and its targeted use in bioconversion processes play an important role in increasing production efficiency.
