Abstract

The main aim of this research work is to analyze minerals and vitamins of bread wheat varieties for wheatgrass juice content of two selected wheat varieties (Ogolcho and Kingbird) grown in Ethiopia. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with wheat varieties as the factor of two levels (Ogolcho and Kingbird). The results showed that the minerals (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P and Zn) contents of wheatgrass juice variety were 36.2, 0.5, 503.4, 23.18, 8.6, 72.94 and 0.32 mg/100 g, for Ogolcho variety and 35.8, 0.4, 395, 23.51, 7.8, 64.18 and 0.42 mg/100 g, respectively, for Kingbird variety. The vitamins (A, C, D₃ and E) were 0.15, 36.35, 0.018 and 0.244 mg/100 g in the juice of Ogolcho variety while for Kingbird variety they were 0.15, 31.65, 0.018 and 0.236 mg/100g, respectively. The experimental analysis clearly indicated that the amount of minerals content (Fe, Zn, Na, K and P) and vitamins content (C and E) showing the significance difference (p≤0.05) in the mean value of parameters. The result indicated that Ogolcho and Kingbird varieties wheatgrass juice were high in minerals and vitamins composition than the wheat grain. Hence, consumption of wheatgrass in the form of juice is beneficial in keeping away several of the health problems and highly recommended as a remedy to various diseases due to its high potential with medicinal values and health benefits.
