Effect of Saline Water on Sprouts Growth Traits, Proximate Analysis and Biogenic Amines of Egyptian Barley.

Abstract

This study was carried out in horticulture Department, faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University and The Regional Center for food and feed (RCFF), Agricultural Research Center during 2018. For measuring three types of estimations, experiment included 4 treatments which were the combinations of 2 levels of sterilization and 2 levels of water salinity, in addition to untreated grains (dry grains). In type I, showed that sprout growth characters were not affected significantly by using sterilized grains except for radical and seedling fresh weigh. The highest hypocotyl, radical weight, seedling fresh and dry weight were obtained for non-sterilized grains using saline water. In type II, data revealed that proximate analysis was significantly increased with the using sterilized grains and highest carbohydrate content (79.84%) was found in dry barely grains .Also, the highest moisture, protein and lipid contents were found with barley sprout using tap water and sterilized grains. With type III, findings show detected that six biogenic amines were barley sprouts using saline water.
