Abstract
Six (C-306, PBW-373, WH-147, WH-1025, PBW-343 and PBW-502) Indian wheat cultivars were evaluated for their physical, milling and colour characteristics. The micronutrients and heavy metals were detected using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The physical parameters of grains revealed that WH-1025 had the smallest whereas WH-147 had the biggest grain size. Cultivar’s C-306 and WH-147 showed significantly (P≤0.05) higher (58.828 and 58.805%, respectively) grain sphericity, so grains from these cultivars were more spherical in shape compared to other cultivars under study. The grains of studied cultivars were mealy and intermediate vitreous as reflected from their bulk and true density values. Cultivar WH-147 was the heaviest (4.313 g/100 grains) and also showed more volume (3.9 ml/100 grains) as compared to others, which reflected its importance for higher flour yield. Grains from cultivar WH-147 also showed the highest hunter L* and b* values, whereas grains from C-306 had the lowest hunter L*, a* a...
