- Abstract
Wheat germ oil is a highly rich unrefined oil that is one of the richest sources of Vitamin E, A and D. It also has a high content of proteins and Lecithin. It is a good source of fatty acids that are very vital for the healthy growth of the body. The objective of this paper was to determine the variability of grain oil content in twenty phenotypically divergent wheat varieties from different selection cycles. Analysis was conducted on the bran portion of the wheat grain. The bran fraction of wheat incorporates the germ, which is rich in oil. It was obtained using the laboratory mill MLU 202. Oil content was determined using the classical method developed by Ruskovski. Significant differences were found among the genotypes, with the oil content ranging from 2.62% (Skopljanka) to 5.21% (Dragana). Cluster analysis was used to sort the genotypes according to the degree of similarity. The large variability among the genotypes revealed by the study indicates the possibility for a further improvement of the tested trait.
