Original Abstract

Spelt, buckwheat and generally cereals (or pseudocereals) are a basic part of human diet. Most of spelts and buckwheats positive effects on human health are attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds, especially essential amino acids, B group vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. In addition, cereals are also an important source of phenolic compounds with multiple biological effects, including antioxidant activity.The aim of the presented work was to compare five different solvent systems, i.e., absolute ethanol, 50 % ethanol in water (v/v), 50% acetone in water (v/v), 20% acetone in water (v/v) and distilled water, for their extraction efficacies towards spelt and buckwheat antioxidants from flours.
