“…Wheat appeared to be rich in manganese and potassium (28.39 and 957.19 µg/g), red sorghum rich in copper (5.14 µg/g) and yellow maize rich in zinc and calcium (5.93 and 1004.69 µg/g). The observed variations were in agreement with the work of Mohammed and Ahmad (2014). However, ANOVA comparing the concentrations of all minerals in each of the samples of grain analysed revealed that there was no statistical difference in their mineral contents, thus implying that all grains have statistically comparable mineral content irrespective of their type.…”

Grains amongst other plant foods are known to be rich sources of phenolic compounds which are known to exhibit high antioxidant activity. In this study, eight selected grains; polished rice (Oryza sativa), ofada rice (a peculiar rice specie cultivated in Ofada, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria), a wheat specie -Triticum aestivum, a millet specie -Eleusine coracana, two maize subspecies (white and yellow subspecies) -Zea mays subsp., and two sorghum subspecies (red and white subspecies) -Sorghum bicolor subsp., were analysed for the total phenolic content with the standard spectrophotometric method of analysis using garlic acid as a standard. In addition to this, mineral content and proximate composition (% ash, moisture, fat and protein) of each grain was also determined. Results revealed a total phenolic content range of 132 µg GAE/g and 2166 µg GAE/g for ofada rice and wheat respectively. Grains with high mineral contents (wheat and millet) as well as high nutritional values were observed to have the highest total phenolic content. This study provides needed information on benefits of common Nigerian grains, in terms of their nutritional composition, phenolic content, and levels of essential trace minerals.

“…The results showed that the average Ca content in this study is greater than in previous reports. For instance, Mohammed and Ahmad (2014), Ullah (2010), and Gara et al (2013), reported that the Ca amount in maize ranged from 70.00-186.67 mg/kg, 66.5-104 mg/kg), 410-590 and 321.7-789.1mg /kg, respectively.…”

Background: The main aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional value of maize samples grown under the different rates of blended fertilizer in Wolaita Zone, southern Ethiopia. Methods: Maize samples that were grown under combined application of the two fertilizers (K and NPSB) with ratio rates of (0:0, 25:50, 50:100, 75:150 and 100:200) kg ha-1 were used as treatment. The content of nutrients from the maize was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Result: The mean concentration of metal in the maize sample ranged as (mg/kg): Ca (512.48-725.86), K (786.62-901.907), Mg (440.23-618.61), Fe (31.52-39.63), Zn (29.45-35.58), Pb (0.005-0.034), Cd (0.014-0.13). The study also revealed that the proximate analysis of the maize sample grown under different rates of blended fertilizer ranged as moisture (5.57-9.56%), ash (0.76-2.29%), fat (2.83-5.95%), fiber (0.93-2.25), 6.83-11.86% and Carbohydrate (68.08-83.07%). For most metals and nutritional values, the highest content was obtained in maize samples grown under the application of 100 K and 200 NPSB kg per hectare.

“…Surveying in China performed by collecting 438 wheat grain samples from two regions that were categorized on soil pH (non-acid pH>7, and acid pH<7), showed that the average concentration of Mn was 43.7 mg kg -1 (ranging from 13.9 to 98.3 mg kg -1 ) (Shi et al, 2020). Average concentrations in (mg kg −1 ) of 13.0 for Mn and 66.7 for Fe in wheat grain reported by (Mohammed and Ahmad, 2014). In different countries, the concentration of Fe in wheat grain ranged between 23.0 and 73.0 mg kg -1 (Melash et al, 2016).…”

Manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) are the two vital micronutrients for plants and moreover essential nutritional health components in humans. Iron deficiency is common in humans and causes many health issues. In this survey, wheat grains of two major wheat cultivars were analyzed for their Mn and Fe concentrations beside the natural gradient of micronutrient availability across Sulaymaniyah province, Iraqi Kurdistan. However only 20% and 7.5% of the soils samples were Mn and Fe deficient or below recommended level. The considered micronutrient concentrations in the grains of wheat were in the acceptable range which are reported globally (range 41.3 and 37.6 mg kg-1 respectively). Furthermore, high application of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer in the studied calcareous soils could be strongly affected on the studied micronutrients concentration in the studied grain samples. The results indicate that adequate levels of Mn and Fe in the surveyed grains is a beneficial guide for quality of grains associated with human healthiness, where wheat grain bread is an essential food.
