Wheat is one of the most ancient of domesticated crops. Archaeological evidence of cultivated spelt has been found in the Transcaucasus region, northeast of the Black Sea, dating back to 5,000 B.C. (Boland, 2011; Stallknecht et al., 1996; van Wyk, 2005). The nutritive value of spelt wheat is high and it contains all the basic components which are necessary for human beings such as sugars, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals. The crude protein composition of spelt varies from 15 to 20 g/100 g grains while, e. g. that of Finnish winter wheat is reported to be 11–12 g/100 g. Grain of spelt is claimed to be naturally higher in fibre, B vitamins and carbohydrates than wheat, but the results vary greatly (Kohajdovб Z., Karoviиovб J., 2007). Experimental work was carried out in the Laboratory “Quality assessment of grain and grain products” of Department of Technology of Storage and Processing of Grain at Uman National University of Horticulture. Grain of different varieties of spelt wheat of the European selection was used, such as: ̒ Schwabenkorn̕ (Austria), ̒NSS 6/01̕ (Serbia), ̒Shvedska 1̕ (Sweden), strains obtained by hybridization of Tr. aestivum / Tr. spelta – ̒LPP 1197̕, ̒LPP 3117̕, ̒LPP 1304̕, ̒LPP 1224̕, ̒LPP 3122/2̕, ̒P 3̕, ̒LPP 3132̕, ̒LPP 3373̕, ̒LPP 1221̕, introgressive strains ̒NAK 34/12–2̕ and ̒NAK 22/12̕ obtained by hybridization of Tr. aestivum/ amphiploid (Tr. durum/ Ae. tauschii) and introgressive strain ̒TV 1100̕ obtained by hybridization of Tr. aestivum (̒Kharkivska 26̕ variety) / Tr. kiharae with a selection of winter form that were grown under conditions of Right‐Bank Forest‐Steppe of Ukraine. The check variant is the recognized variety of spelt wheat ̒Zoria Ukrainy̕ (st).
