Abstract
This research aimed to study the chemical composition of wheat and its end-products (Bourghul and Frikeh) whence protein content and important minerals to realize chemical changes that occur when processing is done. The research has been carried out on four cultivars of wheat (two of them durum sham3, sham5 and two of them softs doma2, doma4) under rain failed environment, The trials have been carried out in Random Complete Blocks with three replicates and each plot harvested to two-part the first one (in the dough development stage) to make Frikeh by parched the spikes and the second one (in the mature development stage) to make Bourghul by poaching (boiling) the grains, and both of them were dried by air to level approximates the limit of moisture of wheat grains. The results of this study showed clearly variance in most wheat components comparing with its end- products (Bourghul and Frikeh), it could notice that the content of protein in Bourghul is little lowest than wheat and the highest in Frikeh (13.86%), and the same matter for ash that has the highest value in Frikeh (1.972%), but about minerals the results show that highest concentrate of Fe where in Frikeh then Bourghul then Wheat (239, 219, 56 ppm), but the highest concentrate of Mn and Zn where in Bourghul (124.6, 111.8 ppm), and the highest concentrate of P where in Frikeh (1007 ppm), but for Cu we can see decreasing in its content in Bourghul and Frikeh and he reached in Wheat (19.36 ppm
