Whole wheat flour storage is a problem in the food industry due to the instability of the lipids Other nutritional components of whole wheat flour may also decline with storage In this report, whole hard red winter and hard white spring wheat flours were stored at 25°C and 60% rh in paper bags for 1 y and changes in conjugated dienes and free fatty acids were monitored in three month intervals to assess lipid degradation Thiamin, riboflavin, and folate were also assayed over the storage period In flour from red wheat, conjugated dienes increased significantly during storage from 0526 to 0812 (p for trend <001), while in the flour from white wheat the increase was from 0593 to 0778 (p for trend <001) Free fatty acids also increased significantly from 387 to 239 (p for trend <001) in red wheat flour and from 200 to 131 (p for trend <001) in the white wheat flour No significant declines in any of the B vitamins were observed over the storage period (p>005), except for a slight decrease in riboflavin in the red wheat sample (p for trend = 002) Despite the instability of the lipids in whole wheat flour, the B vitamins appear to be remarkably stable over 1 y of storage under non-abusive conditions.
