Phenolic Acids Profiles and Phenolic Concentrations of Emmer Cultivars in Response to Growing Year under Organic Management.

ABSTRACT: Phenolic compounds, especially phenolic acids (PAs), are believed to be one of the major contributors to the antioxidant activity of cereal grains. This study determined and compared phenolic concentration, radical scavenging activities, individual PA concentrations of emmer cultivars, and breeding lines to common wheat in a three-year controlled field experiment under organic management. It was found that common wheat had the highest ability to scavenge DPPH radicals (51.7%), followed by emmer Farvento (35.4%). DPPH scavenging activity of bound phenolic extracts was higher compared to free ones. Total phenolic concentration was the highest for common wheat (1902.6 µg FAE g^-1 DM) compared to the highest level of all emmer cultivars-Farvento (1668.3 µg FAE g^-1 DM). The
