Arabinoxylan levels of prevalent hard wheat cultivars from Pakistan

Arabinoxylans are the non-starch polysaccharides present in wheat and other cereals that include oats barley rye rice and sorghum. Arabinoxylans are important component of wheat that not only have certain nutraceutical value but also possess properties that influence the processing and baking of wheat based products. Work presented in this book relates with the levels of arabinoxylan fractions in hard wheat cultivars of Pakistan. The information will be useful for the wheat industry in development of functional products and also helps the wheat breeding programs in the development of arabinoxylan-enriched cultivars.
