The study conducted to show the effects of germination process on chemical composition of wheat flour (Triticum aestivium). The germination process included several stages, the wheat grains were soaked for period of (24) hours, followed by the germination phase for a period of (48) hours, drying at a temperature of (30)°C for a period of (18-22) hours and then milling to obtain Whole wheat flour. The chemical of non-sprouted and sprouted wheat flour had been estimated, which include Moisture, Protein, Fat, Fiber, Ash and Carbohydrate. The results of the Chemical Analysis showed a decrease in the percentage of Moisture, an increase in the percentage of Protein in wheat flour after germination as it, a decrease in the percentage of Oil, an increase in the percentage of Fibers. The results of the study showed an increase in the concentration of total phenolic compounds in wheat flour after germination, as it was (7.53) mg/gm and for sprouted wheat flour was (12.36) mg/gm, reduction in concentration of Phytic acid in wheat flour after germination, as it was (25.9) mg/gm, and for sprouted wheat flour was (6.3) mg/100 g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
