“…Likewise, Şanal (2018) reported that the Fe content of einkorn wheat was 4.21 mg 100 g -1 . In other wheats, Kariithi et al (2016) observed that the Fe content was in the range of 1.11 to 3.05 mg 100 g -1…”

“…They found that the Zn content of 54 samples of einkorn wheat grown in the highlands was between 3.6 and 7.6 mg 100 g -1 (5.1 mg 100 g -1 on average) and those grown in the lowlands had Zn content of 4.4-8.4 mg 100 g -1 (5.9 mg 100 g -1 on average). Kariithi et al (2016) asserted that the Zn content in other varieties of wheat was from 2.61 to 9.15 mg 100 g -1…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) inoculation, which was administered to increase the quality of einkorn wheat in its fatty acid composition, quality and mineral concentration. Wheat grown from AM inoculated seed (AM+) had increased the dry matter (DM), iron (Fe), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), especially oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid, and cis-5,-8,-11,-14, and cis-17 eicosapentaenoic acid from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (P <0.05), but decreased crude ash (CA), potassium (K), and total saturated fatty acids (UFA), especially myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids, especially cis-palmitoleic acid, cis-10-heptadecenoic acid, cis-11 eicosenoic acid, erucic acid, and linoleic acid (P <0.05) compared with einkorn wheat grown from non-inoculated seed (AM-). Crude protein (CP) content ranged from 10.56% to 10.68%, and ether extract (EE) content varied between 2.03% and 2.41%, neither of which was significantly different between treatments. Significant increases were observed in UFA, and in the ratios of UFA to SFA and PUFA to SFA in AM+ compared with AM-. Keywords: mycorrhizal inoculation, nutrient composition, Triticum monococcum
