Le pigment jaune naturel de la farine est surtout de nature xanthophylle. Il s'oppose à la coloration blanche qu'on désire d'une farine de blé, et on le supprime généralement à l'aide de produits de blanchiment chimique comme le peroxyde de benzoyle. 1, record 2, French, - pigment%20jaune

In the early 1930s, the Grain Research Laboratory of the Canadian Grain Commission listed the following quality requirements for durum wheat high test weight, vitreousness, quantity and quality of protein, and high yellow pigment. 1, record 3, English, - high%20yellow%20pigment
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
All of the early Canadian durum wheat varieties had low yellow pigment content by the standards of today (Table 1). However, screening procedures were in place to ensure that yellow pigment levels would improve. Nugget, which was developed in North Dakota, USA, was the first North American durum wheat line released with superior color characteristics. According to Irvine (1965) Nugget had two to three times the yellow pigment content of other Canadian and American durum varieties at that time, and low lipoxygenase activity. Nugget proved to have inferior agronomic performance, so was never widely grown, but it provided a source of high yellow pigment to durum wheat breeders in the subsequent development of successful high yellow pigment varieties. 2, record 3, English, - high%20yellow%20pigment
