| description | Sunflower seed quality, in particular the characteristics of hullability and protein
content, has a significant impact on the protein content of the resulting meal. Seeds
dehulled before crushing produce a meal with a protein content of approximately 36%;
without dehulling, the protein content is typically in the range of 27–29%. This study
seeks to assess the effect of sunflower variety on hullability and protein content.
Genetic effects were studied by means of seed samples obtained from a network of variety
evaluation trials undertaken across the production area in France for sunflowers. For both
characteristics, significant differences between cultivars were observed; as a
consequence, the potential protein content of their dehulled meals also ranged widely
(34–44%). Genetic selection, which provides substantial improvements in both oil content
and fatty acid composition, should therefore be expected to enhance the quality of
sunflower meal. |
