Emmer (T. turgidum L. ssp. dicoccum Schubler or T. dicoccon Schrank) is an ancient wheat whose cultivation and utilization in human diet dates back to Neolithic age. It has been rediscovered in recent years for its good nutritional and technological properties and for the important health benefits compared to the modern wheat species. Emmer has good technological quality and can represent an alternative raw material for the industrial production of baked goods and pasta. This chapter illustrates the emmer compositional, technological, and nutritional characteristics. Finally, the quality related to environmental sustainability of emmer production will be described.

Abstract
Emmer (T. turgidum L. ssp. dicoccum Schubler or T. dicoccon Schrank) is an ancient wheat whose cultivation and utilization in human diet dates back to Neolithic age. It has been rediscovered in recent years for its good nutritional and technological properties and for the important health benefits compared to the modern wheat species. Emmer has good technological quality and can represent an alternative raw material for the industrial production of baked goods and pasta. This chapter illustrates the emmer compositional, technological, and nutritional characteristics. Finally, the quality related to environmental sustainability of emmer production will be described.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
