Effect of temperature and storage time of wheat germ on the oil tocopherol concentration

Wheat germ represents approximately 3% of the grain and it contains 8-14% oil, which is a rich source of tocopherols (vitamin E) and polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid. The present work shows the influence of temperature (27ºC and 45ºC) and storage time (maximum 35 days) of the wheat...
