Yellow pigments are apparent in some foods prepared from wheaten flour or semolina, and may affect the visual appeal of the product. A survey of the yellow pigment content of flours milled from eighteen common varieties of Australian wheat has been completed. Those of the variety Mendos gave the lowest mean figure of 1.45 parts per million whereas the figure for Festival, 4.33, was the highest. Yellow pigment content was not related to protein level or milling yield within the range of material examined.

Phytoene synthase 1 (Psy1) and lipoxygenase 1 (Lpx-1) are key genes involved in the synthesis and catalysis of carotenoid pigments in durum wheat, regulating the increase and decrease in these compounds, respectively, resulting in the distinct yellow color of semolina and pasta. Here, we reported new haplotype variants and/or allele combinations of these two genes significantly affecting yellow pigment content in grain and semolina through their effect on carotenoid pigments. To reach the purpose of this work, three complementary approaches were undertaken: the identification of QTLs associated to carotenoid content on a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, the characterization of a Mediterranean panel of accessions for Psy1 and Lpx-1 genes, and monitoring the expression of Psy1 and Lpx-1 genes during grain filling on two genotypes with contrasting yellow pigments. Our data suggest that Psy1 plays a major role during grain development, contributing to semolina yellowness, and Lpx-1 appears to be more predominant at post-harvest stages and during pasta making.
