Abstract:
This article examines the innovative technologies used in the processing of grain
crops, their effectiveness and advantages. Grain crops are one of the main components of the
food industry, and the need to introduce new technologies in their processing is growing every
day. The article analyzes advanced methods such as cryogenic grinding, optical sorting, and IoT
technologies. The research results show that with the help of innovative technologies, it is
possible to improve product quality, reduce energy consumption, reduce waste, and increase
production efficiency. Opportunities and prospects for the implementation of these technologies
in the conditions of Uzbekistan will also be discussed.
Keywords
: cereal crops, innovative technologies, processing, efficiency, optical sorting,

Introduction.
Grain is the fruit of cereal crops or the seeds of leguminous plants. One of the
main products grown in agriculture is food for human consumption, flour, beer, starch, alcohol,
raw materials for the preparation of mixed feed, and nutritious feed for agricultural animals.
Products obtained from grain processing are used in bread, pasta, and confectionery enterprises.
Humanity receives about 50% of proteins, 70% of carbohydrates, and about 15% of fats from
grain products.
Grain crops are one of the main sources of food for humanity and play an important role in
ensuring global food security. Today, such crops as wheat, rice, corn, and barley are the most
widely cultivated and consumed products in the world. Against the backdrop of population
growth, environmental factors, and limited energy resources, it is important to achieve high
efficiency in the processing of these crops.
Grain and grain products have been stored and processed in various ways since ancient times.
Nevertheless, with the growth of the population, the population's demand for bread and bakery
products is also increasing. In traditional processing methods, a number of problems are still
observed: high energy consumption, grain losses, low product quality, environmentally harmful
waste, and low production efficiency. The issue of introducing innovative technologies into
processing processes has come to the forefront.
Innovative technologies are advanced methods such as high-precision optical sorting systems,
cryogenic grinding and monitoring through IoT technologies, and product consistency tracking
using blockchain systems. Our scientific article analyzes practical solutions for processing grain
crops based on innovative technologies, their economic and environmental effectiveness.

Optical Sorting System Operating Principle (Description)
The color, shape, and size of each grain are determined using optical sensors and cameras.
Improper or damaged grains are separated by airflow.
Cryogenic Grinding Diagram (Description)
With the help of liquid nitrogen, the temperature of the grain is reduced to -195 °C, which
reduces the decomposition of the substance, kills microorganisms, and preserves the quality of
nutrition.
Discussion. The results show that innovative technologies significantly increase the efficiency of
grain processing. The preservation of nutrients through cryogenic grinding allows for the
production of healthy food products. Optical sorting improves product quality, while AI
monitoring reduces human error. With IoT-based systems, warehouses are constantly monitored,
which prevents problems such as grain spoilage, moisture, and fungi.

If these technologies are adapted to the conditions of Uzbekistan, they will play a large role in
ensuring the export of grain products, quality guarantees in the domestic market, and
environmental safety.
Conclusion. Innovative technologies in the processing of grain crops provide the following
advantages:
The possibility of obtaining a high-quality product;
Energy saving and efficient use of resources;
Increased production efficiency;
Environmental safety;
Waste reduction;
Ensuring competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets.
Through the phased introduction of these technologies in the agro-industrial complex of
Uzbekistan, it is possible to further increase food security and export potential.
