Background and Objectives The nutritional value of the sprouts has gained interest in recent years because of supplying to fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as antioxidants into the diet. The aim of the present study was to reveal the nutritional characteristics of the different sorghum genotypes exposed to sprouting process. For this purpose, some biochemical characteristics and basic mineral profiles of the sorghum sprouts were investigated. Findings According to the results, protein content ranged between 12.17% and 32.24% while the lowest total starch content was determined as to be 3.37% and the highest was 32.71%. Besides, dietary fiber content was in the range of 30.27%–46.42%. Total phenolic content and antiradical activity values of the sprouts were determined as in the range of 3.61–8.42 mg GAE/g and 11.63%–19.51%, respectively. Conclusion The results showed that the sprouting process improved the nutritional quality of sorghum compared to grains and also significant variation was observed among the genotypes in terms of examined properties. Significance and Novelty The results showed that the nutritional parameters especially phytic acid levels of the sorghum grains could be decreased by sprouting process.
Çalışmanın amacı farklı oralarda karıştırılan Vetiver (V) ve soyanın (S) silaj fermentasyonu, besinsel özellikler ile gaz ve metan üretimi üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Bu amaçla Vetiver ve soya bitkileri beş farklı oranda (100V%, 75%V+25%25S, 50%V+50S, 25%V+75%S ve %100S) karıştırılmıştır. İncelenen tüm özellikler üzerine karışımın etkisi istatistiksel olarak çok önemli bulunmuştur (p≤0.01). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, silaj karışımındaki soya miktarının artmasıyla kuru madde miktarı, ham protein ve ham yağ oranları artmış, asit deterjanda çözünmeyen lif (ADF) ve nötr deterjanda çözünmeyen lif (NDF) oranları azalmıştır. Vetiver oranının artması pH seviyesinde düşüş, gaz ve metan üretiminde, metabolik enerji ve organik madde sindirim derecesinde, ham külde, laktik asit oranlarında artış sağlamıştır. Ancak Vetiverin bir çim türü olmasına rağmen soya ile karışımda iyi bir silaj üretimi için yeterli kuru madde miktarına ve uygun pH seviyesine sahip olmadığı görülmüştür. Kökleri için yoğun yetiştirilen Vetiverin toprak üstü aksamının yalın silaj olarak değerlendirilmesi veya yeni bitkilerle karışımının yapılması gerekmektedir.
