Association of non-starch polysaccharides and ferulic acid in grain amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus L.) dietary fiber.
The association of ferulic acid, an alkali-extractable phenolic acid in amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus L., Amaranthaceae) insoluble fiber (trans-ferulic acid: 620 microg.g-1, cis-ferulic acid: 203 microg.g-1), and non-starch polysaccharides was investigated. Enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble amaranth fiber released several feruloylated oligosaccharides that were separated using Sephadex LH-20-ch...

متن کاملAnti-hyperlipidemic activity of methanol extracts of three plants of Amaranthus in triton-WR 1339 induced hyperlipidemic rats
Cardio vascular diseases are leading cause of death in both industrialized and developing nations. Disorders of lipid metabolism, following oxidative stress are the prime risk factors for initiation and progression of these diseases[1]. The current anti-hyperlipidemic therapy includes principally statins and fibrates, the former corrects the altered blood lipid profile by inhibiting the bio-syn...
