Abstract
- Oil-type sunflower seed hybrids grown in North Dakota were evaluated for yield, seed characteristics and composition. The study consisted of 74 hybrids grown at Casselton, ND, during 1981. Mean analytical values were: yield (x = 2047 kg/hectare), seed weight (x = 9.9 g/200 seed), test weight (x = 40.3 kg/hectare), hull (x = 26.7%), embryo (x =73.7%), oil (x = 45.3%), protein (x = 20.8%), ash (x = 3.5%), lysine (x = 4.5 g/100 g protein) and chlorogenic acid (x = 2.0%). Increasing the lysine content of hybrid sunflower protein appears to have possibilities for further study. The mean chlorogenic acid content was slightly lower than levels previously reported.
