اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Carotenoid pigments are considered essential nutrients for humans and animals because they cannot synthesize them and they must, therefore be incorporated from diet. They are responsible for the yellow pigment content (YPC), an important quality trait of durum wheat for making pasta and couscous. However, the storage and industrial processing of wheat grain can reduce the carotenoid content and consequently the YPC. Carotenoid esterification is a general mechanism for carotenoid accumulation, sequestration and storage in plants, and can be a good strategy to increase carotenoid retention in the durum wheat (DW) food chain.
