Flours obtained from IWG, harvested at 26 (IWG-1) and 36 days (IWG-2) after anthesis, were used in the tarhana formulation as a replacement of white wheat flour in concentrations of 10, 30 and 50%. Ash, Ca, Mg, K, P and Zn contents of tarhana samples increased by IWG-1 addition. IWG-2 addition resulted in an increase in moisture and protein contents. IWG-1 addition into the tarhana provided an increase in the antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents of the samples. The total counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of tarhana with IWG-1 were higher than those of other tarhana samples.en10.1111/jfpp.12554info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle39630143021Q2WOS:000368126300267Q3
