Nutritional and industrial quality assessment of Spanish durum wheat commercial cultivars.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Durum wheat is the raw material used to produce pasta, and its price is determined by grain physical characteristics, gluten strength and semolina yellowness. Gluten strength is mainly determined by high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS). Semolina yellowness is determined by loci that control carotenoid content and lipoxygenase activity. Arabinoxylans are the major dietary fibre component within the durum wheat endosperm. Twelve durum wheat cultivars were grown in five locations over two cropping seasons. The objectives of this study were to determine the variability in the aforementioned traits; to assess the influence of genotype, environment and their interaction; and to determine the allelic variation of the main genes associated with gl
