Variation in acrylamide content of two Indian traditional products, chapatti and poori was observed with respect to the damaged starch content in whole wheat flour of different wheat varieties from which these products were prepared. Wheat cultivar ‘lokwan' was milled by altering mill aperture, feed rate and moisture content to obtain whole wheat flour with damaged starch contents ranging from 6.23% to 28.12%. Acrylamide content of the chapatti and pooris prepared from such flours ranged from 12.5 to 65.5μg/kg in chapatti, and 25.5 to 130.5μg/kg in pooris. Impact of several additives showed 10μmol/g flour citric acid, and 100μmol/g flour calcium chloride to reduce acrylamide in pooris by approximately 54% and 72%, respectively, without altering the sensory analysis of the products.
