| Abstract: | In this study, grains of two buckwheat species: Fagopyrum esculentum (IC37309) and Fagopyrum tataricum
(var. himpriya) were phytochemically
investigated for their nutritional, and antioxidant potential for their use as
functional foods. Methanolic extracts of grains of two Fagopyrum species showed higher phenolic content and antioxidant
activity. Inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis
presented these grains as a good source of minerals. This work demonstrated
that grains of Fagopyrum species under study possess high protein,
carbohydrate, phenolic content and antioxidative potential thus can be a good
source of nutrition. |
