Comparative study of biochemical properties, anti-nutritional profile, and antioxidant activity of newly developed rye variants

The present research was planned to explore the biochemical properties and antioxidant activity of newly developed Pakistani rye variants. For this purpose, four different variants (Gp-1, Gp-2, Gp-3, Gp-4) were procured from forage section Ayub Agriculture Research Institute, Faisalabad. In first phase, each sample milled convert it into powder analyzed for their phytochemical profile. second mineral contents explicated through flame photometer atomic absorption spectrophotometer. last qualitative (tannin, phenols, saponin, terpenoids) quantitative screening phytochemicals (TPC, total flavonoids, DPPH, FRAP, ABTS) carried out respective methods. Results showed that maximum dietary fiber (TDF) content (24.47%), insoluble (IDF) (17.8%), soluble (SDF) (6.67%) elucidated in Gp-2 followed by Gp-4, Gp-1. TPC (2.73 mg/g), DPPH (4.25 FRAP (1.25 ABTS (1.92 flavonoids (12.31 mg/g) explored Gp-2; meanwhile, minimum (1.05 (1.017 (1.02 (6.51 observed Gp-4. anti-nutritional compounds not found Gp-1 while Gp-3 Gp-4 compounds. phenols all except respectively. Conclusively, among variants, variant more nutritious had good bioactive potential as contained antioxidants profile than rest
