T1  - Effects of Fusarium infection on the phenolics in emmer and naked barley
N2  - Inoculated or non-inoculated naked barley and emmer cultivars were investigated with regard to their influence on phenolic acid profiles and their arabinoxylan content. Two groups of phenolic compounds were differentiated-methanol- soluble and hydrolyzable covalent-bound phenolic compounds. Chromatographic methods were applied for their analysis. The results showed ferulic acid as the predominant phenol in both total and covalent-bound fractions. The inoculation significantly reduced the ferulic acid content within a range of 5.6-6.6% in the two cereals and all their cultivars. Naked barley cultivars additionally contained the flavonoid catechin in the soluble fraction. The innoculation led here to a significant increase in the catechin content of about 4.5%. These results document an induction of the synthesis of catechin in naked barley after artificial Fusarium infection, whereas the ferulic acid content declined.
