The soft red wheat flour contained 1489.3 µg ferulic acid equivalents (FAE)/g of TPAC while soft white wheat flour had 1349.8 µg FAE/g TPAC. These results follow those of Kim et al. (2006) who reported that wheat colour was correlated with TPC and that red wheat contained a greater concentration of TPC than white wheat. Others, however, have found no correlation between wheat colour and total TPC (Beta et al., 2004). Free TPAC was not significantly different between the red and white wheat for either the hard or the soft flours
