Abstract
The importance of antioxidants and minerals in food has increased with the growing awareness of consumers in recent years. Türkiye is rich in genetic diversity for wheat as it is located at the intersection of three floristic regions and is part of the Fertile Crescent. In this study, the antioxidant activity of Karakılçık durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) populations from 12 different regions of Türkiye was determined using the DPPH method. In addition, the contents of mineral nutrients (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn) were determined in an ICP-OES device with milled wheat. Karakılçık genotypes were sowed in a field using an augmented trial design consisting of five rows and six blocks, with each block containing five control varieties. The result of the study was that the landrace Karakılçık genotypes exhibited antioxidant activity varying between 14.7-40.2 μmol TE g-1. The Ca contents of landrace Karakılçık genotypes varied between 13.0-249.9 ppm, Cu contents 0.6-22.7 ppm, Fe contents 28.7-93.9 ppm, Mg contents 583.7-1194.0 ppm, Mn contents 31.4-87.7 ppm, and Zn contents 22.3-68.5 ppm. The results of the study reveal that Karakılçık landrace genotypes have large differences in antioxidant and mineral content, that these differences have the potential to be used in wheat breeding programs, and that wheat flour obtained from Karakılçık landrace genotypes is important.
期刊介绍:
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers, critical reviews and short reviews. The subjects refer on plant biodiversity, genetics and plant breeding, development of new methodologies that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology, agriculture, horticulture and forestry. The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of plant sciences, thereby maximizing the impact and value of their research, and thus in favor of spreading their studies outcome. The papers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in life sciences. Articles should make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological and agricultural concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca or JCR abbrev. title Not Bot Horti Agrobo) are mentioned.
