Samples of oat groat from cultivars grown in Sweden during 3 years (1987-1989, 50 samples/year) were investigated. On an average, the kernels contained 15.9% protein, 7.0% fat, 9.7% dietary fibre and 63.2% starch (% of dry matter). The coefficient of variation was highest for fat (26%) and lowest for starch (7%). The thousand kernel weight was on average 34.7g. The content of dietary fibre and fat was significantly negatively correlated and the starch positively correlated with the thousand kernel weight. The samples contained mean (and range) 9.7% (5.0-13.4) total dietary fibre, 3.5% (2.0-5.0) soluble dietary fibre, and 4.6% (3.5-5.7) beta-glucan. The beta-glucan content was significantly positively correlated with insoluble and total dietary fibre as well as with the fat content, and significantly negatively correlated with starch.
