Twelve pigmented wheat genotypes, one tritordeum, and common were grown in three field experiments under varying nitrogen (N) fertilization rates to investigate the contributions of genotype, environment, on levels phenolic acids, anthocyanins, carotenoids antioxidant capacity grains. Soluble acids increased significantly (+16%) environment with high soil N content, while bound anthocyanins decreased (−16 −57%). affected agronomic qualitative traits but had limited effects some bioactive compounds (bound anthocyanins). The greatest differences appeared among color groups within same types, black group showing most (34.4 1207 mg·kg–1) highest capacity. Some cultivars could be promising for development innovative supply chains production functional foods, as they showed good yield quality performances, features.
