| Abstract: | The relationship between grain size and total fatty acid (TFA) content and composition, as well as the contribution of corn size distribution to the variation of fatty acid contents between barley types, were studied in nine barley varieties (six-rowed and two-rowed winter barleys, and two-rowed spring barleys) fractionated according to grain size. Smaller grains contained as much TFA as the bigger ones. On average, the proportions of saturated fatty acids (16:0 and 18:0) and of oleic acid (18:1) are higher in large grains than in small kernels, whereas the percentages of linoleic (18:2) and linolenic (18:3) acids are lower. The higher 18:1 and the lower 18:3 proportions in two-rowed barleys compared to their six-rowed counterparts, can be explained by the indirect effect of the different grain size distribution between the barley types. |
