| Abstract | ||
| One day old wheat grain sprouts were used to study the effect of using saline water for sprouting on sprout characters, and changes of some chemical compounds after 2 years wheat grain storage of Gemmeiza 11 cultivar. Sprout characters showed no significant different in storage grain sprouts weight at all NaCl concentration while increased in fresh grains sprouts with increasing NaCl concentration. Sprouts chemical components as affected by storage revealed that storage Gemmiza II had the highest crude protein and the lowest carbohydrate content compared with dry fresh seeds. Non storage grains also had higher protein and lowest carbohydrate and energy content compare with dry fresh grains. The results of phytochemical analysis showed that wheat fresh grain sprouts increase phytochemical compounds and recorded the higher values when using saline water (37 compounds) followed by using tap water (33 compounds) compared with dry fresh grains (30 compounds). Saline water also enhanced the number of phytochemical compounds in two year storage grain sprouts (31 compounds vs. 28 compounds for tap water). Moreover, storage grains decreased the number of identified compounds during sprouting. It can be recommended that wheat grain sprouting is a procedure that has been developed to significantly increase the bioavailability of phytonutrients and phytochemical to ensure the nutritional security of population for Egypt. | ||
