Determination of Rational Values of Electrophysical Processing Parameters Affecting on the Flax Seeds Germination
Authors: , , , , ,
Abstract: The article presents studies to determine the rational parameters of the electrophysical treatment of flax seeds affecting on germination. Analysis of response surfaces and two-dimensional sections allows us to establish that in a local area bounded by ranges of factors, the stationary point is close to the largest value. These combinations of factor values are rational, since at these values, in the vicinity of the stationary point, the germination of flax seeds reaches the highest values. Thus, we can recommend the following parameters for treating flax seeds taking into account a confidence interval of at least 95%: with the treating time of flax seeds with the microwave field X1 = 13.987 ± 2 sec; ultrasonic processing time X2 = 19,358 ± 5 min; seed moisture X3 = 17.743 ± 1.2%; germination Y = 87.94 ... 92.35% was obtained..
