However, as more attention has been given to wheat cultivars with strong gluten, protein content, starch composition, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in bread wheat and yellow-colored pasta product in durum wheat health compounds such as fibers, phytochemicals, and bioactives have been underestimated so far. The aim of this study was, then, to examine the total phenolics and flavonoids, quantify their phenolic acids, a-tocopherol by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of bread (Triticum aestivum L.), durum (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum Desf.) wheat cultivars and einkorn (Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum) wheat populations collected from different provinces (Bolu and Kastamonu) of Turkey. Ferulic acid (148.67–764.04-lg/g), p-coumaric (5.06– 54.09-lg/g), and total phenolic content (ranged 2.06–8.11-lmol GAE/g) of einkorn populations were significantly higher than bread and durum wheat cultivars. Results suggested the possibility of production of einkorn wheat populations, and hopefully cultivars rich in particular health beneficial component(s) may provide benefit to the consumers. In addition, higher phenolic content of einkorn may offer novel wheat genetic resources for the improvement of new wheat cultivars and the development of wheat-based functional foods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPhytochemical ContentAntioxidant ActivityTriticum Aestivum L.Triticum Monococcum Ssp MonococcumTriticum Tugidum Ssp Durum Desf.Conference Object283411411WOS:000383616901872Q2
