Abstract:
The present study was conducted in the laboratories of the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry to evaluate thirty nine varieties/genotypes of Brassica Species for nutritional and anti-nutritional characteristics such as Tryptophan content in meal, Acid value, Iodin value, Saponification value, Phytic acid and Glucosinolates content in meal. The samples was collected from University farm as well after grading of the sample the quality analysis in the laboratory was conducted as per standard procedures. Tryptophan content in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 1.89 to 0.91 g/100 g, while toria entries varied from 1.86 to 1.12 g/100 g. In case of rai the range of variation was 1.86 to 1.10 g/100 g. Acid value in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 1.34 to 0.62 mg, while toria entries varied from 1.32 to 0.63 mg. In case of rai the range of variation was 1.36 to 0.64 mg. Iodine value in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 108.15 to 96.32 gm, while toria entries varied from 108.22 to 96.58 gm. In case of rai the range of variation was 106.32 to 96.74 gm. Saponification value in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 176.32 to 168.58 mg, while toria entries varied from 176.60 to 169.55 mg. In case of rai the range of variation was 176.85 to 168.30 mg. Phytic acid in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 3.03 to 2.21%, while toria entries varied from 3.00 to 2.31%. In case of rai the range of variation was 3.02 to 2.26%. Phytic acid in different genotypes of yellow sarson varied from 3.03 to 2.21%, while toria entries varied from 3.00 to 2.31%. In case of rai the range of variation was 3.02 to 2.26%.
