Micronutrient contents and nutritional values of commercial wheat flours and flours of field-grown wheat varieties — A survey in Hungary

Micronutrient Contents and Nutritional Values of Commercial Wheat Flours and Flours of Field-grown Wheat Varieties – A Survey in Hungary

Wheat-based food has great importance in human nutrition: in European countries they provide 20–30% of the daily calorie intake, and additionally, the wholemeal and healthy food becomes even more popular. Mineral content in grains is dependent on genetic and environmental factors (varieties, soil type, geographical location of the growing area, etc.), therefore, it is complicated to estimate ho...

Acid-Modified Wheat Flours

A comparison of the nutritional value and food safety of organically and conventionally produced wheat flours.

Growing interest in organic agriculture has prompted this study aiming to evaluate nutritional content of wheat flours originating from organic and conventional production systems. Obtained results showed that organic samples had significantly lower protein content and lower levels of Ca, Mn and Fe compared to conventional samples. Protein digestibility and levels of K, Zn and Mo were significa...

Functional properties of waxy wheat flours: genotypic and environmental effects

A set of waxy (amylose-free) experimental spring wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) of diverse parentage were grown, along with two nonwaxy and two partial waxy check cultivars, at diverse North American cultural environments. Grain yield and functional attributes of derived flours were determined. Average grain yield of the waxy lines did not differ significantly from the average yield of the check...

Chemical Characteristics and Pasting Properties of Commercial Slovak Common and Spelt Wheat Flours

Th e objective of this paper was to show diff erences among qualitative parameters of commercially produced Slovak fi ne and wholemeal wheat fl ours prepared from Triticum aestivum L. (common wheat) and Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta L. (spelt wheat). Th e selected chemical parameters (protein, starch, ash, glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, pH, lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, succinic ...
