Background. The grain coat plays a major role in the development of rye cultivars with low levels water-soluble pentosans (WSP). Grain thinness is diagnostic trait for WSP (arabinoxylans) content. To improve technology low-pentosan breeding, it becomes important to study effect changes anatomy grains on morphological characteristics. Materials and methods. Grains thin coats (transparent) were i...

Wheat by-products are feedstuffs that vary in nutritional value, partly because of arabinoxylans that limit nutrient digestibility. Millrun is a byproduct from dry milling wheat into flour and contains varying amounts of the bran, middlings, screening, and shorts fractions. The digestible nutrient content of mill-run is not well known. Effects of xylanase supplementation (0 or 4,000 units/kg of...

Numerous dough improvers are used alone or in combination to enhance the quality of baked goods such as breads. While modern consumers demand consistent quality, expectations for ingredients have changed over past few years, and reformulations taken place provide “clean label” options. However, effects mechanisms blended conditioners suitable products not been systematically summarized. In this...

Growth of the ruminal bacteria Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD1, Selenomonas ruminantium HD4, and Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens 49 was limited by ester-linked feruloyl and p-coumaroyl groups. The limitation of growth on phenolic acid-carbohydrate complexes varied with individual bacteria and appeared to be influenced by ability to hydrolyze carbohydrate linkages.
