Thirty-six varieties of triticale were analyzed for some physical and chemical quality. The resulta showed that the triticale kernels had weight per volume in average of 67.02 kilogram per hectoliter. The chemical analysis showed that the triticale had 7.57-12.39% moisture, 13.44-17.87% protein and 1.81-2.46% ash (14% moisture). The amounts of dried gluten from grinded whole triticale were ranged from 1.26-7.02% which were not correlated to protein content in each triticale varieties. There was some triticale variety had high protein but low in dried gluten. The characteristics of gluten for color, structure and expansion after baked showed the significant differences. There were some light-gray, red-gray and dark gray in color. The structures of gluten could be divided to 3 groups; the high expansion, medium and low expansion.
