Cereal Chem. 84(6):533-539 One Oat cultivar grown in Idaho (three field sites) was pin-milled and separated by sieving to investigate whether starch from oat bran differs from the remainder of kernel. Ground oat particles were classified into three sieve fractions: 300-850 pm, 150-300 om and <150 Om). Il-Glucan content in sieve fractions was analyzed and starch was extracted from kernels withou...

INTRODUCTION Obesity and Type 2 diabetes may be controlled by foods capable of modulating food intake and blood glucose. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether the addition of food sources of fiber or phaseolamin to shakes can control food intake and reduce postprandial glycemia. METHODS This was a randomized, single blind, crossover design study (food intake: n=22; glycemia: n=10). Five liquid...

Phytate and mineral cations are both considered as important dietary factors for inhibiting the crystallisation of calcium oxalate kidney stones in susceptible individuals. In this paper, the phytate and mineral composition of whole bran cereals (wheat, barley and oat) and legumes were determined together with their soluble and insoluble oxalate concentrations in order to investigate the effect...

Obesity affects 27.5% of Australian women. Breakfast cereal consumption has been proposed to be protective against obesity. This study investigated the association of breakfast cereal consumption with the risk of developing obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m²) over 12 years among mid-age participants in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH). Dietary data were obtaine...

The aim of this study was to understand the processability thirty pure cultivar oat batches and how physical properties groats flakes affect characteristics flake flour. This conducted by investigating relationship between chemical composition oats groats, flours produced industrial scale milling process. It clearly shown that behaved differently in process were interrelated. For example, separ...

The quantity and quality of host insect diets is strongly related with the development parasitoid offspring. To evaluate prediction that effects artificial on ecto-larval Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae); Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae were reared different diets. We used corn flour + bran (control), oat bran, rye carob einkorn potato (1:1) as diet. numbe...

Background and aims Insufficient dietary fiber (DF) intake is associated with increased blood pressure (BP) the mode of action unclear. The DF supplements by participants in previous interventional studies was still far below amount recommended World Health Organization. Therefore, this study to explore effect supplementing relatively sufficient on BP gut microbiota patients essential hypertens...

Background: Findings about the effects of -glucan on serum lipoproteins are conflicting. Objective: The study investigated the effects of -glucan from oat bran in bread and cookies (study 1) and in orange juice (study 2) on serum lipoproteins in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects. Design: In study 1, 48 subjects (21 men, 27 women) received for 3 wk control bread and cookies rich in wheat fibe...

This study assessed baits for eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea guttata (Houttuyn). When offered a choice among several grain-based baits (rolled oats, wheat bran, oat bran, yeast, corn meal, cornflakes) and vegetable oils (canola, corn, peanut, soybean), eastern lubber grasshopper adults preferred bait consisting of wheat bran carrier with corn oil as an added phagostimulant. Other carriers ...
