Abstract

A series of NMR spectra of whole seeds of various types was obtained by using cross polarization/magic angle spinning techniques. Select signals in the spectra provided a means of comparing the CP content relative to the starch content between seed cv. Seeds of lucerne cv. Ranger, red clover, white clover, Phaseolus vulgaris and Lens culinaris had high CP contents and showed a range of protein NMR signal intensities. The CP content of sorghum cv., Panicum miliaceum, wheat, oats, maize and barley was also compared with that of the legumes
