Determination of Grain Quality Traits and Nutritional Values of Some Six Rowed Barley Cultivars Under the Ecological Conditions of Gumushane

This research was carried out with 11 different six rowed barley cultivars (Erginel-90, Meriç, Kıral-97, Çetin-2000, Avcı-2002, Martı, Vamıkhoca-98, Akhisar-98, Lord, Epona and Olgun) during 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 growth seasons to determine some grain quality traits such as moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, starch content, acid detergent insoluble fiber (ADF), neutral detergent insoluble fiber (NDF) and various mineral matter contents (K, Mg, P)under Gumushane conditions with randomized block design as three replicated. According to the average of two years, the moisture content of the cultivars were 9.21-9.88%, ash content was 2.00-2.31%, protein content was 12.73-15.65%, fat content was 1.36-2.01%, starch content was 52.61-58.60%, ADF and NDF values respectively 5.52-8.65%to 20.42-25.03%, ranged between. The highest starch ratio was obtained from Olgun cultivar (58.60%).Akhisar-98 cultivar had the highestprotein content (15.65%).
