There is controversy about the role of viscosity and co-migrating molecules on bile acid binding beta-glucan. Thus, this study aimed to investigate impact ?-glucan molecular weight content both phytate mobility acids by modelling intestinal conditions in vitro. Two approaches were used evaluate factors underlying effect. The first studied capacity soluble using purified compounds. Viscosity sol...

In the present study, we evaluated the cholesterol-lowering effects of different oat bran (OB) preparations, differing regarding their peak molecular weight (MWp) of beta-glucans (2348, 1311, 241, 56, 21 or < 10 kDa), in C57BL/6NCrl mice. The diets were designed to be atherogenic (0.8 % cholesterol and 0.1 % cholic acid), and they reflected the Western diet pattern (41 % energy fat). All OB pre...

Abstract The adequate intake of dietary fibre is linked to several health benefits, for example, reducing the risk non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, population’s below dosage recommended by World Health Organisation. incorporation ingredients, bran, in cereal based products affects techno-functional sensory properties, resulting inferior product qu...

Prebiotic dietary fiber supplements are commonly consumed to help meet fiber recommendations and improve gastrointestinal health by stimulating beneficial bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), molecules beneficial to host health. The objective of this research project was to compare potential prebiotic effects and fermentability of five commonly consumed fibers using a...
