Evaluation of pigment, antioxidant capacity and bioactive compounds in microgreens of wheat landraces and cereals

Landraces that adapt to all kinds of stress factors over thousands years are considered a very important genetic resource. In this study, antioxidant activities, bioactive compounds, and pigment contents microgreen in Kose Kirik wheat landraces, which used extensively bread making especially rural areas Eastern Anatolia, some cereals, were examined. the chlorophyll (CHLdx), flavonol (FLV), anthocyanin (ANT), N balance index (NBI) measured fresh material with Dualex device. Also, total capacity (TAC), phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), ascorbic acid (AAC) values such as (TCHL), (CHLa), b (CHLb) carotenoid (CAR) determined. It was observed TAC landraces more than twice other cereals (except â??Alparslanâ??) their NBI, AAC, ANT FLV low. landrace had high TCHL, CHLa, CHLb CAR content, while low values. Besides, NBI barley, AAC oat cultivars â??Alparslanâ?? group. The CHLdx barley oats wheat. A positive correlation determined between TCHL CHLb, contents. correlations CHLa CAR, positive. capacities local varieties significantly higher.
