The purpose of this study was to examine the antioxidant properties of 70% ethanolic extracts of cereal grains and their different morphological fractions. Wheat (Triticum durum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) were used. The total phenolic content (TPC), determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant activities (AOA) were assessed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging capacity, ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. The following hierarchy of antioxidant activity was provided for 70% ethanolic extracts originated from whole grain: buckwheat >barley > wheat > rye. In respect to hulls, the antioxidant hierarchy was the same. The outer layers of grains had higher amount of phenolic compounds and subsequently higher antioxidant activity. Buckwheat had the highest amount of total phenolics, with the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and capacity for Fe3+ reduction, but it had the lowest lipid peroxidation inhibition ability.
