Evaluation of Grain Weight, Moisture, Dry Matter, Oil Cake, β- carotene, Oil Constant and Aflatoxin Content of Different Varieties and Advanced Lines of Mustard and Rapeseed

Experiment was conducted on six varieties including two advanced line growing in large scale in Bangladesh.These varieties were evolved by BARI and work was conducted for evaluation of physicochemical parameters of the rapeseed and mustard.Among these varieties, the highest grain weight was obtained from BARI Sarisha-9 (4.9g) and lowest grain weight obtained from BARI .The variety BARI Sarisha-15 was contained highest amount of moisture (9.55%) while lowest amount was found advanced line Din-2 (5.78%).Among all the treatments, highest dry matter contained was showed by Din-2 (94.22%) and lowest amount showed by .Highest amount of oil cake was given by BARI Sarisha-12 (59.95%) and lowest amount gave by BARI Sarisha-14 (57.75%).BARI Sarisha-14 possessed the highest amount of β-carotene (23.56µg) and lowest amount was observed by .BARI Sarisha-14 possessed the lowest dry wt. of oil cake (49.70%) and highest dry wt. of oil cake was observed by BC-2193 (53.03%).The highest amount of saponification value was recorded by and lowest amount was recorded by BC-2193 (154.6).The highest amount of iodine value was recorded by BARI 2) and lowest amount was recorded by .The highest amount of acid value was recorded by BARI and lowest amount was recorded by BC-2193 (1.31).
