Comparative evaluation of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and nutritive properties of gluten-free flours

Abstract Gluten-free flours are interesting alternative to wheat flours. They could be by-products of oilseed processing, characterized by high content of bioactive compounds. Therefore the aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant, antimicrobial properties, amino acid and fatty acid profile...
