Hello:
I want to know if anyone has used or has experience with any naked or dehulled oat cultivar that contains low-fat content (2.5-3% dwb) or if this is impossible. If yes, can you, please mention the cultivar or sort name and from where we can buy it? Also, if you can provide the reference proving this point, please can you attach it as well?
Thanks in advance
Dear Monica,
I have to say, I do not know anyone oat variety with so low fat content, in addition naked oats (same as naked barley) usually has higher fat content than hulled ones.
Our new variety Stendes Emilija fat content in last year was 10.5%, for example :) .
Can You tell me, why You are looking for low fat oats? Are it is connected with fermentation, unwanted compounds are formed or with self life? Or with dietetic issue? As far as I know, oat's fat is healthy, with high level poliunsaturated fatty acids.
Anyway, I let You to know, if I hear about low fat naked oat.
Best regards,
Vita
Naked or dehulled oat cultivars typically have higher fat content (around 5-9% dry matter basis), making it challenging to find varieties with only 2.5-3% fat. However, some hulled oat varieties, once dehulled, may meet this criterion under certain environmental and cultivation conditions.
To find such low-fat cultivars:
1. Look for specialized breeding programs focusing on low-fat oats.
2. Contact agricultural research centers or oat breeding initiatives (e.g., USDA, ICARDA, or regional seed banks).
If specific cultivars with 2.5-3% fat exist, they would likely be identified in studies or databases on oat composition. You can explore resources such as:
- The USDA Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN).
- Publications from oat research organizations like the International Oat Committee.
Unfortunately, without direct references, further research is needed to confirm if these specific cultivars exist commercially.
