abstract: The study presents the behaviour and moisture changes in the hulled buckwheat grain during hydro-thermal treatment. It was determined that absorption ability depends on the moistening time and parameters of the moistening factors (steam). The study aimed at a final selection of a suitable moisture level for the flaking process used in food processing industry.
