Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Untreated wheat varieties had phytic acid between 1.503% (Inqalab-91) and 1.223% (N.R-234).
- Intervention effect After 24-h soaking the maximum phytic acid loss was 25.1%, in Margalla-99.
- Intervention effect After 24-h soaking the minimum phytic acid loss was 22.5%, in Chakwal-97.
- Intervention effect After 48-h germination the highest phytic acid loss was 40%, in Margalla-99.
- Intervention effect After 48-h germination the lowest phytic acid loss was 37%, in N.R-231.
- Intervention effect After 60-min heating the maximum phytic acid loss was 32%, in Wafaq-2001.
- Intervention effect Heat treatment gave a minimum phytic acid loss of 27.0%, in N.R-23.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that different processing methods can be applied to reduce phytic acid in wheat.
