Results & Discussion: The results indicated that elaeagnus fruit have crude fiber (4.2%), fat (2.0%), ash (1.9), protein (7.8%) and suger (48.9%). The Farinography test results showed that increasing of stability of wheat flour dough containing elaeagnus flour by 40% in comparison with the control sample.
