Similar to tocol content, antioxidant capacity varied between the genotypes. Within food genotypes, even though antioxidant capacity has been reported to be concentrated in the husk (Peterson, 1994), the hulless genotypes used in this study,
Macumba and Finniss, also had a relatively high antioxidant capacity (120 and 122 mg AEAC/100 g FW, respectively) compared with the lowest antioxidant capacity genotype, Jet (57.2 mg AEAC/100 g FW) and the highest antioxidant capacity genotype WI2585 (158.1 mg AEAC/100 g FW). This suggests that both Macumba and Finniss may have potential for use as a source of antioxidants in food, particularly as they do not need to be pearled during processing.
