The effect of wheat flour refined milling on nutritional and antioxidant quality of hard and soft grown in Ethiopia was evaluated. Bread was prepared with the supplementation of the white wheat flour with different levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 25%) of wheat bran. Whole (100% extraction) and white wheat (68% extraction) flours were analyzed for proximates, minerals, and antioxidants. Results indica...

This experiment aimed to evaluate the ruminal degradability in situ of the dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of Guinea grass silages. The experimental design was completely randomized with six treatments and six repetitions: Guinea grass silage, Guinea grass silage inoculated with 10% wheat bran, Guinea grass silage inoculated with...

effects of supplemental phytase and xylanase in a corn-soybean meal based diet containing 250 g/kg wheat bran, were investigated. on broiler performance and phosphorus degradability and nitrogen digestibility. phytase (500 and 1000 ftu) and xylanase (2700 and 5400 exu) individually and in combination were added to the basal diet and given to 6 replicate groups (4 birds per replicate). at 21...

Bacillus subtilis, locally isolated, produced significant level of xylanase activity in the presence of different carbon sources. However, B. subtilis performed well when grown on pretreated natural substrates such as rice straw, wheat straw, bagasse, wheat bran and kraft pulp at 2% concentration. The organism produced higher level of xylanasse activity when bagasse was used as a carbon source ...

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of wheat bran oil with pure supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at different extraction pressures (25, 40 and 55 MPa) and temperatures (40, 70 and 95 oC) has been studied. Since wheat bran is characterized by having an important content of antioxidant compounds, the content of such compounds in the extracted oil and its antioxidant activity were evaluated....

Two separate balance experiments of P, Ca, Mg and Zn were carried out on 5 lots of 4 growing pigs each (35-40 kg) adapted for 3 weeks to one of the diets studied. In the first experiment, the control diet was compared with a diet containing 20% of coarse wheat bran, thus richer in minerals, the quantities ingested not being equalized. In the second experiment, three diets were compared: a contr...

Wheat bran, and especially wheat aleurone fraction, are concentrated sources of a wide range of components which may contribute to the health benefits associated with higher consumption of whole-grain foods. This study used NMR metabolomics to evaluate urine samples from baseline at one and two hours postprandially, following the consumption of minimally processed bran, aleurone or control by 1...

The effect on colonie 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...
