Multilinear models for two buckwheat varieties were developed and presented to predict the grain volume. All properties of the varieties that provide useful data to engineers in equipment design and post-harvest technology for the buckwheat grains were statistically different. These differences could be due to the individual characteristics of the varieties, environmental and growth conditions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBuckwheatphysical and chemical characteristicscolourtotal phenolic contentmacro- and microelement concentrationsArticle10.1080/19476337.2016.1245678152257265WOS:000399595800013Q3Q2
