Comparison of some mineral nutrients and vitamins in advanced hulled wheat lines

Abstract

Background and objectives: Ancient wheat species, einkorn and emmer wheat, are potential healthy food sources for their vitamin and element contents. The aim of this study was to evaluate some elements and vitamin A and B complex of 36 einkorn and 49 emmer wheat advanced lines tested under field conditions. Findings: The results showed that some emmer wheat lines were extremely higher than those from einkorn and durum wheat checks for microelements. The mean concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Se of the emmer wheat lines were found to be 41.72 AE 3.57, 17.06 AE 0.63, 2.85 AE 0.15, 18.11 AE 0.71, and 0.05 AE 0.00 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, the means of A, B1, B2, B5, and B6 concentrations were determined as 65.48 AE 2.39 lg/kg, 4.22 AE 0.13 mg/kg, 0.36 AE 0.05 mg/kg, 3.60 AE 0.21 mg/kg, and 2.06 AE 0.09 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusions: The emmer wheat lines of 24, 43, 44, and 53 for elemental and 3, 4, 11, 17, and 24 for vitamin A and B complex can be selected for enrichment of the wheat products. Significance and novelty: Superiority of emmer wheat lines in terms of micronutrients and vitamin A and B complex compared to einkorn lines and durum wheat cultivars was obviously demonstrated.

Mineral composition and technological properties of einkorn wheat as affected by storage conditions

“…Özkan et al (2007) and Tekin et al. (2018) reported a positive correlation between Zn and Mn and Cu in the einkorn wheat population. Zhao et al.…”

Extraction of phenolic acids from ancient wheat bran samples by ultrasound application

“…Ancient wheats, mainly einkorn and emmer, are being increasingly considered due to their high levels of nutrients, elements, amino acids and phytochemicals. 1,2 These valuable plant materials have also been suggested for addition in the diet of patients suffering from some health problems such as elevated cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, some cancer types, high blood allergies, colitis and depression. 3 Therefore, it can be supposed that the ancient wheats and their products (i.e.…”

Bacterial Endophytes of Spring Wheat Grains and the Potential to Acquire Fe, Cu, and Zn under Their Low Soil Bioavailability

“…Suchowilska et al [ 16 ] reported concentrations of Fe, Zn, and Cu close to 49, 54, and 4.1 mg∙kg −1 , respectively, and highlighted significant positive correlations between Fe, Zn, and Mn levels in T. dicoccum grains. Similarly, the mean concentrations of Fe, Zn, and Cu in emmer wheat lines were 41.72 mg∙kg −1 , 17.06 mg∙kg −1 , and 2.85 mg∙kg −1 , respectively [ 15 ]. The concentrations of the microelements and TKW in the emmer wheat observed in this study agreed with the data reported in the literature.…”

“…In contrast, an ancient wheat variety, i.e., a tetraploid emmer wheat ( Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum ), is being increasingly recognized as a valuable food source for its high content of resistant starch, fiber, carotenoids, antioxidant compounds, and vitamins B2, B5, B6, and A [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Published reports have also indicated that wild and primitive wheats, such as T. monococcum , T. dicoccon , and T. dicoccoides , accumulate more Fe and Zn in grains than cultivated wheat and advanced lines [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”
