Abstract

The quality of durum wheat cannot be simply defined since it changes depending on the worker and end-use. Here we report a description of quality aspects evaluated at different levels: by the farmer, grain dealer, seed company, milling industry, pasta industry and consumer. The transformation of durum wheat to improve the quality for traditional end-uses and for novel applications is also described.
