COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF PROTEINS OF SOME RYE AND TRITICALE CULTIVARS GROWN IN HUNGARY, USING HPGLC

Five rye cultivars and five triticale cultivars grown in Hungary were investigated. Protein content, protein fractions according to Osborn w ere measured. The albumin, globulin, prolamin and residue (glutelin) f ractions were separated by high performance gel liquid chromatography (HPGLC). Triticale cultivars had higher protein content and lower prop ortion of albumins and globulins than rye cultivars. Using HPGLC chara cteristic elution profiles were obtained containing generally four pea ks. Mathematical statistical evaluation of results revealed significan t correlations between total protein content and fraction distribution .
