Compositional Variability in Roller-Mill Processed Streams: Macro-and Micronutrients, Phytochemicals, and Contaminants (Heavy Metals and Antinutrients) Distribution

Key Points

• Phytochemicals distribution is significant in processed wheat streams, indicating a complex nutritional profile.
• Key finding shows heavy metals presence in various milling products, raising concerns about food safety and quality.
• Assessment using compositional analysis highlighted differences across milling stream types, from flour to by-products.
• These findings underscore the need for monitoring contaminants in wheat milling, considering potential health impacts.
