This study focused not only on the antioxidant capacity of barley
genotypes but also on the content of vitamin E, which is often
claimed to be an important antioxidant compound. The objectives
of this study were to evaluate these components in a range of barley
genotypes and the impact on them of storage under conditions
similar to those used in industry. Barley genotypes were chosen
based on their grain colour, whether hulless or not, and their use
in food, malt or animal feed.
