Abstract

This research was carried out to evaluate the quality of Sudanese wheat cultivars namely (Debeira), obtained from three agricultural research station in Sudan, namely; Hudeiba, Medani and Sennar. The physical and chemical characters of wheat  grain include; Hectoliter  weight, one  thousand  kernel weight, kernel  hardness ,kernel size, moisture content, ash content, crude protein, Alpha-amylase activity, Sedimentation  value, wet   and  dry  gluten and Bread specific  volume were studied. Hectoliter weight was range from 791.5-851.6, weight of 1000-kernel range from 29.6-35 g, Kernel hardness is ranged from 4.4-9.2 kg/grain and Kernel size range from 3.23-3.64. Values of moisture content were ranged from 8.0-8.5% .Ash content obtained no significant difference (at p ≥0.05) in the ash content of the two locations Hudeiba and Medani, but there was significant difference with those of Sennar location. The protein quantities of Debeira were found to be (13.81±0.4%, 12.70±0.40% and 11.11±0.40%);Wet and dry gluten were 25.2 ± 0.52, 11.3 ± 0.24%; 23.7±0.52% and 10.5±0.24%; and 21.7±0.52% and 9.8±0.24%; Sedimentation values as follow (16.0±0.9 ml, 11.4±0.90 ml and 10.2±0.9 ml), in the three locations Hudeiba, Medani and Sennar respectively. The Alpha-amylase activity showed a decrease of enzyme Alpha- amylase activity in the three locations Hudeiba (393±7.5 second), Medani (410±7.5 second) and Sennar (442±7.5 second). The outcomes obviously indicate that the investigated Sudanese wheat Debeira cultivar that grown in Hudeiba could efficiently be used for bread making.
