Concentration of proteins, beta-glucans, total phenols and antioxidant capacity of Slovenian samples of barleyBonafaccia, Giovanni (Avtor) Merendino, Nicolò (Avtor) Bonafaccia, Francesco (Avtor) Molinari, Romina (Avtor) Galli, Vincenzo (Avtor) Pravst, Igor (Avtor) Škrabanja, Vida (Avtor) Luthar, Zlata (Avtor) Golob, Aleksandra (Avtor) Germ, Mateja (Avtor) Hordeumbarleybeta-glucansphenolsFour Slovenian barley samples were analyzed for the content of the ash, proteins, β-glucans and total polyphenols; and for the antioxidant capacity by two methods. Antioxidant capacity was determined by the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity and by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. For the comparison, four foreign barley commercial samples were analyzed, three of German origin and one from Italy. Slovenian samples had equal or lower content of ash, proteins and β-glucans in comparison to foreign samples. A Slovenian barley sample from Šalovci, Prekmurje had the highest content of β-glucans, namely 5.73% in dry weight (DW). The results obtained by both methods of the determination of antioxidant capacity showed significant correlation with the total polyphenols content. 20162026-01-29 10:39:33Neznano27222slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji
