Abstract
Oat Cultivars grown in Pakistan have not been explored yet for their nutritional benefits. This study was conducted to investigate five oat varieties from central Punjab, Pakistan for their physicochemical characteristics and nutritional profiling. Five indigenous oat cultivars Avon, S2000, PD2LV65, SGD2011 and SGD81 were included in this study. Avon showed the maximum 12.69±0.07 % protein content whereas SGD 81 had the maximum fiber contents 17.83±0.11% and maximum fat contents were observed 6.67±0.06% in SGD2011. PD2LV65 showed the highest moisture contents 9.29 ± 0.10. Avon exhibited the highest ash contents 6.02±0.10%. Dry and wet methods were used for Zinc and Iron quantification in five varieties. Avon showed zinc contents 32.28±0.49% and SGd2011 showed 20.07 ± 0.16 respectively. The highest iron contents were shown by the 176.4±1.14% and S2000 showed the lowest iron content 117.16 ± 0.15 respectively. The highest (105.67g kg-1) amino acid contents were found in SGD81 while SGD2011 was the lowest 99.13g kg-1 in amino acid profile. SGD81 showed the maximum 149.46±3.05 mg GAE/g total phenolic acid contents while S2000 was the lowest 75.47±2.51 mg GAE/g in phenolic contents. Likewise antioxidant activity was observed the highest 77.45.8± 1.18 µmol/g in SGD81 while PD2LV65 was the lowest 63.93 ±0.07 µmol/g in this attribute. This study indicated that SGD 81 was loaded with promising nutraceutical potential than all other oat varieties.
