Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India.https://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810190318Thirty-four lines of ancient wheat and PBW550 as check variety were evaluated for nutritional quality traits, anti-nutritional factors and total antioxidant potential. The starch content lied in the range 52.56-68.5%. Total soluble proteins ranged from 7.28 in Triticum sphaerococcum (TS) 27 to 16.29% in TS 9. Amylose content ranged from 13.27 (TS 3) to 27.98% (TS 4) of starch content. Iron content was in the range 29.33-60 μg/g whereas Zinc varied from 30 to 61.5 μg/g. Tocopherol content ranged from 4.59 to 12.35 mg/g. Sona Moti, Nanne Samrat and Sugar free depicted higher contents of starch, amylose, protein, antioxidant capacity and lower contents of saponins. TS 19 lied in the high range of proteins, antioxidant potential, medium/high range of albumin-globulin and amphiphilic fractions and lower range of glutens and saponins. TS 26 had higher contents of tocopherol and total soluble proteins with more of albumin-globulin and amphiphilic fractions and less of glutens. Therefore, Sona moti, Nanne Samrat, Sugar free, TS 19 and TS 26 possessed better nutritional quality traits in contrary to modern cultivars.EnglishThesis
