Abstract

Wheat is one of the major cereals which are processed by milling into flour.
The aim of this research is to examine the degree (percentage) of milling will
affect the concentration of Fe and Zn in obtained flour of two soft wheat
varieties (Triticum aestivum). Analyses were performed by flame atomic
absorption spectroscopy. Ascertained higher concentrations of Fe and Zn
were found in seeds of two wheat varieties "treska" Fe -44(mg / kg) and Zn29 (mg/kg) and "radica" Fe - 47 (mg/kg), Zn -19 (mg/kg) compared with
concentrations in their flour, the "treska" Fe -10.5 (mg/kg) and Zn-9.8
(mg/kg) and "radica" Fe – 10.3 (mg/kg), Zn -9.2 (mg/kg).
We can conclude that the process of milling the wheat grain by reducing the
percentage of milling leads to a loss of important micronutrients and acquire
flour with lower nutritional value.
