Profiling and characterization of oat cultivars (<i>Avena sativa</i> L.) with respect to bioactive compounds, pesticide residues and mycotoxin

Oat predominately cultivated as forage crop and is not explored for its value-added bioactive moieties. This study was aimed to characterize five selected oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars with respect organic sugars, antioxidant activities, pesticide residues, mycotoxin phenolic acids measured HPLC. Five indigenous (Avon, PD2LV65, S2000, SGD2011, SGD81) were profiled seven (gallic acid, vanillic caffeic syringic p-coumaric chlorogenic acid ferulic acid). Highest concentrations of gallic detected in the SGD81, SGD2011 PD2LV65 respectively. TPC case all ranged 50.88–101.56 mg/100 g. Among cultivars, SGD-81 exhibited highest DPPH activity, TPC, TFC TFoC contents whereas, SGD-2011 showed total anthocyanin content followed by AVON. S2000 concentration M1 (18.51 ppm), while lowest (10.51 ppm) SGD-81. Abamectin permethrin residues undetected Dieldrin only chloropyrifos Mandipropamid, parathion methyl, chlorthalonil, indoxacarb lufernon cultivars. Moreover, fructose, glucose sucrose found amounts Conclusively, it evident from results that SGD-81, SG2000 could be utilized source important promising phytochemicals nutraceutical significance. significant potential these can harnessed owing value addition exploitation formulations functional food ingredients foodstuffs.
