Annotation
The research aims: to investigate and optimize the processes of grain swelling up and subsequent germination, and to that end, to test the unique, weak radon mineral waters of Georgia as well as to provide qualitative and quantitative evaluation of some bioactive compounds accumulated during the germination process. In the process of grain germination, weak radon mineral water dramatically accelerated the processes of grain swelling and subsequent germination. At the same time, it significantly reduced the calorie content of cereals and increased the quantitative content of macro-, microelements, and vitamins.
