INVESTIGATION OF MINERAL MATTER CONTENT OF HUSKS SEPARATED FROM BARLEY VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN TURKEY

Özet

In this study, 28 barley varieties that are produced in Turkey and that have come to the fore in recent years were used. The husks of the collected varieties were separated from their husks in an air pressure husk separator. The husks were ground to pass through a 0.5 micron sieve and made ready for analysis. Mineral substance determinations were made in ground husks. According to the results of the mineral substance analysis carried out in the husk samples, the amounts of Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Na, Si, Al, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ba minerals in the barley husks are 1158.84-3873.75 mg/kg, 442.97-2238.77 mg/kg, respectively. , 939.14-2441.83 mg/kg, 204.36-1243.61 mg/kg, 98.49-1406.51 mg/kg, 273.31-1658.37 mg/kg, 38.53-569.18 mg/kg, 9.99-30.33 mg/kg, 0.37-6.80 mg/kg, It was found between 1.09-4.97 mg/kg, 1.34-6.35 mg/kg, 1.33-8.72 mg/kg. At the end of the study, it is thought that barley husks are rich in mineral substances and can be used in various applications.
