| Popis: | The Physical and chemical properties of durum wheat are important aspects in terms of its trading and processing. Accordingly, this research aimed to study the physical and chemical properties of two-imported durum (Mexican and Canadian) and their locally produced coarser and fine semolina, in addition to their contents of heavy metals. The results indicated that virtual properties, foreign matters and total impurities of the imported durum were in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum wheat. However, heat damaged grains, shrunken and broken grains in Mexican wheat were not in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum. Mexican wheat recorded less amount of moisture and protein compared to Canadian wheat. Cadmium and lead contents in durum and the produced semolina were with the requirements documented in Libyan standardization for wheat semolina. The results indicated that Canadian coarse and fine semolina significantly recorded higher contents of moisture, protein and ash compared to Mexican semolina. The results demonstrated that most of the measured physical and chemical properties of durum and semolina were in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum wheat. |
