| To verify the main nutrition characters of oat varieties(lines) in China,292 oat samples were collected from 13 locations in 2013. The contens of the crude protein,lipid and β-glucan were tested and compared among different regions and different types of oat samples. The results show that the average content of crude protein,lipid,β-glucan of 292 oat samples were 14.07%,5.81% and 3.62%,respectively. Nutrition qualities of naked oats are better than that of husk oats. There are significant differences in the average content of crude protein,lipid and β-glucan among the samples in North,Northwest and Southwest of China. The mean values of nutrition characters of samples in North of China are higher than the average level,and the samples in Southwest zone has the highest average lipid content but the lowest average crude protein content and β-glucan. In different locations,the highest average content of crude protein,lipid and β-glucan are 16.44% (Guyuan city,Ningxia),6.80% (Wuchuan county,Inner Mongolia) and 3.99% (Zhangjiakou,Hebei),respectively. Among them,the comprehensive nutrition quality of samples in Ulanchap in Inner Mongolia is higher. The varieties with good nutritional quality planted in the large area are Yan 2009,Bayou 12,and Jipin 1 from Ulanchap,and Baiyan 11 from Datong in Shanxi and Bayou 12 from Guyuan in Ningxia. |
