GRAIN - BRAN QUALITY PARAMETERS and AGRONOMIC TRAITS of BREAD WHEAT CULTIVARS

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum avestivum L.) has a wide adaptation limit and it is used as an important source of essential nutrients for both humans and animals. Wheat bran is also a by-product of the milling of wheat grain. It has a unique nutritional composition due to the amount and quality of proteins, mineral content and B complex vitamins content and dietary fiber content. One of the aims of this study was to determine the grain yield, yield components and quality traits of 36 wheat cultivars between 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. The other aim was to determine the nutritional properties of the bran obtained from these cultivars. Plant height, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, grain yield, thousand grain weight, test weight, wet gluten and sedimentation value traits were determined only in the whole grain, while ash content, protein content, starch content, fat content, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium traits were determined both in the whole grain and in the bran. It is expected that the data obtained in this study will be reported in the literature, evaluated in terms of product quality and taken into account in breeding programs.
