Influence of type of production on the contents of selected nutrients/phytochemicals in buckwheat grains

On a global level and over number of years, many researchers have been studying the effects organic conventional production methods on chemical composition plants their products. The aim this study was to determine potential difference in contents several nutrients/phytochemicals organically conventionally produced buckwheat grains. Buckwheat sown 2016 at site Nova Varoš. experimental plot covered surface area 1 ha. following nutrients phytochemicals grains were determined: proteins, pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids), soluble sugars, starch, free bound polyphenols flavonoids, phytosterols. In addition, antioxidant properties assessed using ABTS •+ ((2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) test (ability inhibit radical cations). There no statistically significant phenols or regard % capacity. other hand, two different caused differences parameters. grains, higher carotenoids (6.998 µg g-1 dry matter (DM)), sugar (6.48 mg 100 DM), starch (2.46 (1034.3 (FAE) kg kg-1 flavonoids (1094.7 (QE) DM) (1087.2 detected, while there levels b (24.16 phytosterols (185.15 DM). showed clear influence method examined
