Issues of technical regulation of quality and safety of amaranth food grain
The article is devoted to the issues of technical regulation of quality and safety of amaranth food grain. At this stage of development of standardization in the Russian Federation the main regulatory document establishing requirements to quality and safety of grain, leguminous and oil-bearing crops is the technical regulations of the Customs Union TR TS 015/2011 «About safety of grain». In order to improve the quality of food grain, the necessity of developing a comprehensive assessment of its consumer properties and commercial quality is shown. In the absence of the current standard for amaranth food grain, the author proposes to consider the draft standard «Amaranth Grain. Technical conditions», which contains a list of requirements for the quality and safety of amaranth food grain, taking into account the provisions of the current technical regulations TR CU 015/2011.
