| Popis: | Hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L．var．nudum Hook．f) is reported to have many nutritional functions. In this paper, the contents of K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Se in 13 cultivars of hulless barley and its β-glucan concentrates were determined. The results showed that there were no marked content differences among cultivars in plant origins, but some elements were enriched in β-glucan concentrates, of which Ca, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Se are elements related to blood sugar. With the help of β-glucan, this concentrate may be a useful functional food for diabetics. |
