Andrýsková, Martina
The aim of this work entitled "Coloured wheat - genetic determination and technological processing" is to select the most appropriate way of treatment of coloured wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in food industry. The grown common wheat has red coloured grain. However, there are several genotypes of wheat with different, genetically determined, grain colour: purple, blue, yellow and white. The purple and blue forms content different anthocyanins, the yellow forms the higher level of carotenoids. These compounds are known for their antioxidant effect. Therefore the different colour grains can be used in food industry for the production of new products which could be not only attractive for consumers but they would be also good for their health. In different grain tissues there are different amounts of coloured substances that affect their content in flour and meal. Hence there is necessary to choose the suitable grain tissue. Moreover the technological proces should be modify because of low stability of pigments. This work also deals with genetic determination of different coloured grain of wheat and with the possibilities of healing claims and food labeling.
