Wheat grain contaminated by microscopic fungi as a source of phenolic acids for potential application in the pharmaceutical industry
Selected phenolic acids were detd. in grains of 11 genotypes of winter wheat. The grains were divided into a waste fraction (<= 2.2 mm) and a std. one (>2.2mm). The smaller grains showed a significantly higher concns. of the phenolic acids. The concns. of trans-cinnamic acid and ferulic acid in the waste fraction were resp. more than 9-fold and 4-fold higher than in the std. fraction.
