γ-Radiations induced phytoconstituents variability in the grains of cultivated buckwheat species of Himalayan region

It can be concluded that 800 Gy dose of γ-radiation, maximally increased the nutritional value by significant (<i>p</i> < 0.05) increase in nutrients and their bioavailability. This makes buckwheat more amenable for daily consumption to fulfill RDA, by Himalayan population depending on traditional foods without any digestive problem. Furthermore, significant increase in rutin by γ-radiations will be useful to fulfill the demand of cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. But minimization of reduction loss for some nutrients by γ-radiations is the thrust area for future research.
