Malt is the main raw material in the production of beer by breweries. Along with such grain crops as barley, rye, wheat is also widely used for malt production. The malt production market is actively developing and the question of the ambiguity of the quality of the raw materials offered is becoming more and more relevant. In addition to traditional methods of sale, online grocery delivery is a modern and very convenient way of shopping. However, it is not possible to check the quality of the products offered in the application or on the website, and therefore, when purchasing e-retail food raw materials, the consumer risks receiving an uncertain quality product. In the course of the conducted research on the evaluation of the quality of malt purchased in the online store on the basis of organoleptic and physico-chemical evaluation, it was revealed that despite a fairly convenient format of interaction for buyers and sellers, while removing geographical barriers for the buyer, the purchased product was not.
