Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during the Rabi season in Avena sativa L. in 2020-21 at coordinated Livestock Farm, All India Coordinated Research Project on Forage Crop (AICRP), Department of Agronomy, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur. This study aimed to investigate the biochemical traits and minerals composition of thirty genotypes. Results showed significant (p<0.05) differences in biochemical and minerals compositions among studied genotypes. Oat grain constituents ranged between 8.93-13.43% protein, 4.21-6.90% fat, 2.81-5.97% Ash, 57.50-66.85% total carbohydrate and 8.29-10.55% crude fiber. Iron, zinc, manganese, potassium and sodium contents were 2.38-4.65mg/100g, 1.30-3.69mg/100g, 2.69-4.49mg/100g, 234.88-347.22mg/100g and 0.85-1.85mg/100g respectively. These results could be useful for improving value-additional of oat food products.

Conclusion

In conclusions, cultivated oat genotypes grown together in the normal environmental conditions showed significant genetic variation in the nutritional content of the oat grain, including protein, fat, crude fiber, carbohydrate, ash and minerals (Fe, Zn, Mn, K, Na). The biochemical analysis indicated that among genotypes recorded the maximum protein G15 (13.43 %), total carbohydrate G18 (66.85 %), fat G10 (6.90 %), crude fiber G19 (10.79%), ash G19 (5.97%) in all the genotypes. In Minerals, higher value of iron G10 (4.65 mg/100g), zinc G16 (3.69 mg/100g), manganese G16 (4.49 mg/100g), potassium G10 (358.85 mg/100g), sodium G15 (1.85 mg/100g) in all oat genotypes. The present research was designed to explore the oat as economical raw material for nutraceutical, food and animal feed industry. The developed oat genotypes need to be considered for further expansion and commercialization in other regions of the country or other developing countries to contribute for ensuring food and nutritional security.
