Effect Of Refined Milling On The Nutritional Value And Antioxidant Capacity Of Wheat Types Common In Ethiopia A Recovery Attempt With Bran Supplement

The effect of wheat flour extraction on nutritional quality of two types of wheat grown inrnEthiopia ( hard and soft) was evaluated. Whole wheat flour (lOO% extraction) and white wheatrnflour (68% extraction) were subjected to proximate, mineral and antioxidant analysis. Resultsrnindicated that at low extraction rate (68 %) the value of protein, fat, jibeI', ash, Iron, zinc andrnphmphorous and antioxidant content of the samples were significantly affected (decreased)rn(P< 0.05) by milling. The total phenolic content (TPC) of white wheatjlours, which rangedji-omrn3.34 to 3.49 mg CAE/g were significantly lower (p
