Popis: Cereal products made from pigmented grains are attractive to consumers. We determined the variability in color, phenolic composition and antioxidant activity (AA) of blue tortillas made from 18 landraces belonging to three blue/purple grained Mexican maize races – Chalqueno (Chal), Elotes Conicos (Ec) and Bolita (Bol). The color of the tortillas produced ranged from yellow-green to blue-green. Ec tortillas were the only true blue type. Total anthocyanin content (TAC) varied between 3.67 and 1.11 mg equivalents of cyanidin 3-glucoside/kg dry weight (DW). Total soluble phenolics (TSP) were between 9.42 and 5.16 mg equivalents of gallic acid/kg DW. AA was highly correlated (p
