Using hard red spring (HRS), hard white (HW), and soft white (SW) wheat, this study examined how germination time affected the functionality of whole-wheat flour (WWF) and enhancement of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content through ultrasonication. The falling number values significantly decreased and the glucose content increased by 227–357% after 15h of controlled germination. The setback value of WWF paste decreased from 654 to 6cP (HW), 690 to 9cP (SW), and 698 to 7cP (HRS), respectively, showing significant decreases of starch retrogradation in an aqueous system. The gluten quality and dough mixing performance of WWF after 5–15h of controlled germination was enhanced since gluten is less weakened during the dough heating stage of Mixolab testing. After a 72h germination, the GABA content increased by 339% of the non-sprouting counterpart. Furthermore, the GABA content in the ultrasound-treated SW sample was 30.7% higher than that without ultrasound treatment.
