Protein composition and bread volume of German common wheat landraces grown under organic conditions.

ABSTRACT: Landraces are genetically heterogeneous plant populations that are regionally particularly well adapted to the natural and cultural agricultural environment. Their genetic memory originates from pre-industrial agriculture and food production with consequences for their agronomic and processing performance. Since wheat-related disorders have increased in the population, breeding might have resulted in changes in the protein composition. The aim of this study was to investigate the protein composition and baking quality of 14 German common wheat landraces. Six modern varieties served as a control group. The protein composition was determined using modified Osborne fractionation and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, the water absorption and bread volume were
