  3. 2. Analysis of mixed-linkage (1-3, 1-4)-β-D-glucan in Swedish cereal cultivars and bread

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Thea Björklund; [2019]
    Keywords : β-glucan; dietary fibers; cereals; rye; wheat; Swedish cultivars.;

    Abstract : β-glucans are unavailable carbohydrates and a dietary fiber that cannot be readily metabolized by our own bodies’ enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. They are instead metabolized by our microbiota in the large intestine, were they have multiple health benefits. They help with keeping the microbiota in balance and regulating our immune system.

  4. 3. Development and Validation of an Analytical Method for Phenolic Acid Extraction from Cereals and Quantification using HPLC-UV

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Laura Amann; [2018]
    Keywords : Phenolic acids; cereals; extraction; HPLC-UV analysis;

    Abstract : Cereals are rich in phenolic acids, a group of secondary plant metabolites that are associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases.
