Between Dried Green Juice
Just Barley™ as compared to Green Magma® & Barley Green™ and
Green Kamut® as compared to Pines® Wheatgrass (Tablets)


Items Analyzed

Chlorophyll, protein, beta-carotene, antioxidant strength and minerals

Objective

To identify and analyze the components of brand name dried cereal grasses for the following elements. Chlorophyll, protein, beta-carotene, antioxidant strength, and minerals.

Method

The five products were purchased from a high volume mail order house and delivered to various laboratories including Rutgers University Center for Advanced Food Technology, Irvine Analytical Laboratory, and AAA Laboratory.

Testing Method

Protein
20-hour 6N-HCL/0.05`/* mercaptoeth and /0.02% pherol hydrolysis @ 115* C

Beta-Carotene
AOAC 16ed

Antioxidant Strength
Lard was spiked at the 1 % level, with extracts of each sample. The antioxidant potential of these samples was compared with untreated lard and lard spiked with 0.02% BHT, an FDA approved synthetic antioxidant.
