| Summary: | The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and protein quality in hulled oats (6 dwarf lines with the Dw6 dwarf gene), and their hypocholesterolemic effects compared to the traditional hulled tall cultivar. The average levels of crude protein, crude fat and minerals were significantly greater and crude fiber level was lower in dwarf lines than in the traditional Krezus cultivar. The fatty acid profile, protein nutritive value and the effect on the level of lipids in the serum of rats of the grains were similar for dwarf and standard oats. The results of this study show that, the grain of hulled dwarf oat may be a valuable component to the human diet. |
