We investigated the lipid components in ten wheat cultivars and their physiological activities. The crude lipid contents of wheat cultivars varied from 1.42 to 2.35%. The α-tocopherol content of 'Ofri' (9.15 μg/g) and the β-tocopherol content of 'Baekchal' (4.19 μg/g) were higher than that in other cultivars. γ-Tocopherol contents of 'Baekchal', 'Saegeumgang', and 'Hwanggeumal' were 0.23, 0.19, and 0.23 μg/g, respectively, but it was not detected in any other cultivar. α-Tocotrienol content was highest in 'Baekkang' (3.83 μg/g), and β-tocotrienol contents ranged from 12.42 to 17.24 μg/g and were also highest in 'Baekkang'. β-Sitosterol and campesterol contents were higher in 'Goso ' (2,527.18 and 284.72 ppm, respectively) than in other cultivars. DPPH radical scavenging activities ranged from 2.41 to 4.26 mg TE/g, and 'Jokyoung' had the highest level. 'Baekchal' had greatest tyrosinase inhibitory activity (50.62∼69.60%). The study provides basic information on the functional properties of wheat cultivar lipids and will aid the utilization of wheat as a raw material for cosmetic industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
