While a limited number of studies have investigated both
antioxidant capacity and vitamin E content in barley, no previous
study has assessed these parameters across a number of different
genotypes. Our findings demonstrate that both vitamin E content
and antioxidant capacity are variable and genotype-dependent.
Furthermore, declines in antioxidant capacity and increases in vitamin
E content were observed in most genotypes after 4 months of
storage at an industry relevant temperature.
