Abstract
The chemical components of buckwheat seed and sprout were compared for predicting the usefulness of buckwheat sprout as food materials. The buckwheat sprout was harvested and lyophilized after germination for 7 days. Crude protein, lipid and ash contents of buckwheat sprout were 20.8, 1.3 and 2.6% in dry basis, respectively. Major amino acids of buckwheat sprout were glutamic acid (2,764 mg/l00 g) and aspartic acid (1,698 mg/l00 g). The contents of tryptophan, alanine, tyrosine and histidine of buckwheat sprout were about 1.7 to 1.9 times higher than those of buckwheat seed. Major fatty acids of buckwheat sprout were linoleic acid (45.9%) and oleic acid (18.4%). The contents of stearic acid (18:0) and oleic acid (18:1) were decreased by about 21% and 50%, whereas those of linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) were increased by 1.3 and 5.4 times, respectively after germination for 7 days. The mineral contents of buckwheat sprout were 152.0 mg/l00 g for Ca, 9.9 mg/l00 g for Zn, 485.0 mg/l00 g for Mg and 5.4 mg/l00 g for Fe. Vitamin A, C and E contents of buckwheat sprout were 1,180 IU/100 g, 203 mg/l00 g and 32.1 mg/l00 g in dry basis, respectively. Especially, the content of $\alpha$ -tocopherol was increased by 27.5 times as compared to that of buckwheat seed. The rutin content of buckwheat sprout was 343.67 mg/l00 g, which was about 18 times higher than that of buckwheat seed.
