Wheat of medium hardness with marbled endosperm (transitional form between hard and soft wheat) in which glassy floury zones alternate, almost exclusively available assortment for brewing needs Southeastern Europe. The aim this work is to establish the influence grain texture degree milling on attenuation limit wheat wort obtained from type wheat. worts using hard, transitional, or were produce...

AIMS The overall kinetics of the fermentation of four oat fractions obtained by debranning using three potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria were investigated. The main objective was to study the suitability of these fractions as fermentation media for the growth and the metabolic production of bacteria isolated from human intestine. METHODS AND RESULTS The cell growth, lactic acid produ...

Health benefits of whole wheat products are partially attributed by their unique phenolic compounds. This study investigated effect simulated gastrointestinal digestion and probiotic fermentation on releasing acids from foods (bread, cookie, pasta). Kinetics results showed that more were released within the first hour gastric intestinal digestions compared to prolonged digestion. Lactobacillus ...

Canola co-products are sources of amino acid and energy in pig feeds, but their fermentation characteristics in the pig intestine are unknown. Thus, we determined the in vitro fermentation characteristics of the canola co-products Brassica juncea solvent-extracted canola meal (JSECM), Brassica napus solvent-extracted canola meal (NSECM), B. napus expeller-pressed canola meal (NEPCM) and B. napu...

Lignocellulose is an inexpensive and abundant renewable resource that can be used to produce advanced biofuels, green chemicals, and other bio-based products. Pretreatment and efficient enzymatic saccharification are essential features of bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. The aims of the research were to achieve a better understanding of the recalcitrance of woody biomass to bioconversi...

The rising prevalence of obesity and the vulnerability of the pediatric age group have highlighted the critical need for a careful consideration of effective, safe, remedial and preventive dietary interventions.  Amylose starch (RS2) from high-amylose maize (HAM) ferments in the gut and affects body weight.   One hundred and ten children, of 7-8 (n=91) or 13-14 (n=19) years of age scored the se...

Anaerobic batch culture fermenters were used for a preliminary screening of the in vitro utilization by human gut microflora of dextran and novel oligodextrans (I, II and III) produced in the University of Reading (UK). Glucose and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were used as reference carbohydrates. As expected, FOS acted as a good prebiotic in that it selectively increased numbers of bifidobacte...
