The present 1H NMR-based chemometric study evaluated the compositional improvement of radiation-induced mutants in purple wheat by focusing on the predominant metabolites with high polarity. The development of colored wheat has drawn more attention to the value of bran owing to its nutritional quality, as well as the antioxidant properties of the colorant. Accordingly, whole-grain intake increases with an understanding of bioactive phytochemicals in bran. Recently, wheat has attracted attention as a functional food, rather than a simple dietary energy source. 3Research Institute of Cell Culture, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan-si, South Korea.
