Tocols and Carotenoids of Einkorn, Emmer and Spring Wheat Varieties: Selection for Breeding and Production

Original language description

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L., subsp. monococcum), emmer (Triticum dicoccum Schuebl [Schrank], subsp. dicoccum) and spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) may be rich in lipophilic antioxidants (tocols and carotenoids), and therefore potential foodsources with good nutritional properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the contents of major lipophilic antioxidants beneficial for human health in wheat varieties and landraces for breeding and production. In field experiments over twoyears fifteen einkorn, emmer and spring wheat varieties were analysed for the contents of tocols and carotenoids in grain. A high carotenoid content (lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene) was typical for the selected einkorn genotypes. Among the analysed wheat species the highest content was of beta-tocotrienol, especially in the einkorn accessions. Alpha-Tocotrienol was abundant in einkorn and emmer wheat species. Higher contents of alpha- and beta-tocopherols were characteristic of spring
