Abstract

  In the current scenario, millers as well as food Industries face many challenges in relation to the whole-wheat flour due to its limited stability in comparisons to refined flour. Lipid degradation by the action of enzymatic as was well non-enzymatic pathways seems to be a one of the leading causes of whole wheat flour stability. Milling technique is also of paramount importance to produce whole Wheat flour. To address the stability issues, retentions of available antioxidant during milling and inactivation of enzymes can be explored along with wheat bran stabilization. The purpose of this review paper is to address these key issues in the milling, shelflife, key biomarkers of whole wheat flour and finally discuss the strategies to overcome existing challenges.
