The effect on colonic epithelial cytokinetics of feeding a 20% wheat bran dietary supplement, either during and/or after the stage of carcinogen administration with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, was examined in 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats fed defined diets for up to 31 weeks. Nutrient intake and body weight gain were equivalent in all groups of animals. All subgroups of rats fed bran, either during an...

Increasing demand for food, driven by unprecedented population growth and increasing consumption, will keep challenging food security in China. Although cereal yields have substantially improved during the last three decades, whether it will keep thriving to meet the increasing demand is not known yet. Thus, an integrated analysis on the trends of crop yield and cultivated area is essential to ...

Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse association between dietary intake of whole grains and the risk of chronic disease. This may be related to the ability to mediate a prebiotic modulation of gut microbiota. However, no studies have been conducted on the microbiota modulatory capability of whole-grain (WG) cereals. In the present study, the impact of WG wheat on the human intestinal m...

In order to evaluate the impact of physical and chemical properties of soil on Bekras kind wheat yield in the city of Arak, a completely randomized block experimental plan has been implemented with three replications in the1390 crop year. Treatments include the overall condition and qualifications of wheat field 's soil in 18 wheat farms, which were randomly selected. Traits in this experiment ...

BACKGROUND Identifying new high-performance enzymes or enzyme complexes to enhance biomass degradation is the key for the development of cost-effective processes for ethanol production. Irpex lacteus is an efficient microorganism for wheat straw pretreatment, yielding easily hydrolysable products with high sugar content. Thus, this fungus was selected to investigate the enzymatic system involve...

The consumption of cereal foods such as biscuit has become very popular globally. Partial replacement of wheat flour with beniseed and unripe plantain flours rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals will increase nutrient, diversify utilization of beniseed and unripe plantain, and increase biscuit variety. Wheat composite biscuit was produced from wheat, beniseed, and unripe plantain flours. The...

Parental, F(1) , F (2) , BC (1) and BC (2) generations of four crosses involving four cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were evaluated at two sites in Tunisia. A three-parameter model was found inadequate for all cases except crosses Chili x Cocorit 71 at site Sidi Thabet and Inrat 69 x Karim at both sites. In most cases a digenic epistatic model was sufficient to explain variatio...

1. An experimental model for the determination of dietary fibre according to the definition of Trowell et al. (1976) is described. Food was subjected to in vivo digestion in ileostomy patients, and the ileostomy contents were collected quantitatively, the polysaccharide components of which were analysed by gas--liquid chromatography and the Klason lignin by gravimetric determination. The model ...

Abstract Field research limits the possibility of clarifying current food waste situation in China. Material flow analysis was used to assess magnitude and characteristics five stages from 2010–2019 by seven selected types. Wheat wasted most at 38%, while milk least 4%. During post-harvest handling storage, processing packaging, consumption, wheat (56%, 36%, 48%), during production marketing, t...

The effect on intestinal carcinogenesis of feeding a 20% wheat bran dietary supplement, either during and/or after the stage of carcinogen administration with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, was examined in 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats fed defined diets for 31 weeks. Nutrient intake and body weight gain were equivalent in all groups of animals. In the rats fed bran during carcinogen administration, tumor...
