Abstract
The effect of integrated and intensive grain production technologies on the contentand properties of chemical components in rye (Secale cereale L.) grain of new varietiesis not known. This study aimed to examine the effect of production technology on thecontent and properties of chemical components of rye grain. Grain from four Polish ryevarieties obtained as a result of integrated and intensive production was examined. Ingeneral, the use of intensive technology resulted in receiving a 7.9% higher yield of grainwith a 3.7% higher content of starch, characterized by a higher share of amylose and lowermolar mass compared to grain cultivated using the integrated method. Moreover, grainfrom intensive production contained 0.6% more water-soluble arabinoxylan of a high molarmass but a lower content of ferulic acid, compared to grain obtained by the integratedmethod. Rye grain from intensive production contained 0.4% more protein, 0.3% moresoluble dietary fiber, and similar amounts of phytates than grain cultivated using the integratedmethod. Regardless of the production method, the hybrid varieties KWS Vinettoand KWS Bono had the highest grain yield and grain with a low content of protein, totaland soluble dietary fiber, and extractable arabinoxylan of a high molar mass but low contentof ferulic acid.
