Chemical Composition of Barley Samples Focusing on Dietary Fibre Components

Grain samples of 16 barleys, including covered and naked types, were selected to represent genotypes that were known to vary in their contents of protein, amylose and amylopectin and β-glucan contents of wort or grain. The chemical compositions of the samples were analysed, focusing particularly on dietary fibre components. Covered and naked barley genotypes differed in their average contents of non-starch polysaccharides, Klason lignin and ash. High amylose types had higher total β-glucan values (6·3% and 7·9%) than waxy types (5·4%–5·8%). The content of extractable β-glucan was only slightly correlated with total β-glucan content. On average, 44% of the xylose residues in water extractable arabinoxylans were substituted with arabinose residues. The presence of considerable amounts of xylopyranose substituted only at O-2 was detected in water extractable arabinoxylans.

Phenolic Antioxidants and Antioxidant Activity in Pearling Fractions of Oat Groats

To test the feasibility of dry milling oats (Avena sativa L.) to concentrate antioxidant activity and phenolic antioxidants, groats were pearled for 5 to 180 s. These treatments removed <1 to 15% of the weight. The material obtained from short pearling times was mostly bran. Longer pearling times increased the amount of starchy endosperm in the pearlings. Antioxidant activity of 80% ethanol extracts, measured by β-carotene bleaching and by reduction of the free radical, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, was highest in the short-pearling-time fractions and decreased as more endosperm tissue was included. Likewise, there was a decreasing concentration of total phenolics, determined colorimetrically, and of several simple phenolic acids, determined by high performance liquid chromatography, as more material was pearled from the groats. In contrast, concentrations of avenanthramides were not correlated with pearling time, indicating that they were more uniformly distributed in the groats.     

Buckwheat Seed Milling Fractions: Description, Macronutrient Composition and Dietary Fibre

The structure of the mature buckwheat achene and groat is discussed in relation to milling fractions and nutritional composition. Whole groats contain 55% starch, 12% protein, 4% lipid, 2% soluble carbohydrates, 7% total dietary fiber (TDF), 2% ash, and 18% other components (organic acids, phenolic compounds, tannins, phosphorylated sugars, nucleotides and nucleic acids, unknown compounds). The composition of the milling fractions reflects the relative abundance of seed tissues. Starch is concentrated in the central endosperm. Protein, oil, soluble carbohydrates and minerals are concentrated in the embryo. Commercial «Fancy» flour, a light-coloured flour, is mostly central endosperm and contains 75% starch, 6% protein, 1% lipid, 1% soluble carbohydrates, 3% TDF, 1% ash, and 13% other components. Although the embryo traverses the central endosperm, during milling parts of the embryo separate with the aleurone and seed coat in the bran fraction. Bran, with little central endosperm, contains 18% starch, 36% protein, 11% lipid, 6% soluble carbohydrates, 15% TDF, 7% ash, and 7% other components. Buckwheat bran also is a rich source of TDF and soluble dietary fibre (SDF), particularly bran with hull fragments (40% TDF of which 25% is SDF), while bran without hull fragments has 16% TDF of which 75% is SDF.     

Effect of Barley and Barley Components on Rheological Properties of Wheat Dough

The effects of addition of whole barley and barley components (starch, β-glucans and arabinoxylans) on rheological properties of dough prepared from wheat flours with variable gluten quality (cv. Glenlea, extra-strong; cv. Katepwa, very strong; cv. AC Karma, strong; and cv. AC Reed, weak) were investigated in these studies using Mixograph and dynamic rheological measurements. Whole barley meal, starch and non-starch polysaccharides from hulless barley with variable starch characteristics (normal, high amylose, waxy, and zero amylose waxy) were tested. Upon addition of either β-glucans or arabinoxylans, significant increases in peak dough resistance, mixing stability, and work input were recorded in all flours. The addition of starch to various wheat flours reduced the strength of the respective flour-water doughs. The improvement of dough strength upon addition of waxy or zero amylose waxy barley meal was associated with the high content of total and soluble β-glucans present in barley samples. The addition of arabinoxylans or β-glucans increased the G′ of wheat doughs; arabinoxylans had a greater effect than β-glucans. Starch substantially decreased the elastic modulus of dough prepared from cv. Glenlea but waxy and high amylose starches increased the G′ of dough prepared from cv. AC Karma. A combination of the high amounts of non-starch polysaccharides and unusual starch characteristics in barley seems to balance the negative effects associated with gluten dilution brought about by addition of barley into wheat flour.     

Effects of Pressurized Low Polarity Water Extraction Parameters on Antioxidant Properties and Composition of Cow Cockle Seed Extracts

Antioxidant activity of pressurized low polarity water (PLPW) extracts of cow cockle seed and extraction residues were determined using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. The effect of extraction conditions (temperature (125, 150 and 175 °C) and time) on the antioxidant activity and the relationship amongst the antioxidant activity and extract composition (total phenolics and saponin content) were determined. The antioxidant activity of PLPW extracts increased with extraction temperature. Increasing activity with time was also observed at 175 °C. PLPW extraction residues had the highest activity suggesting antioxidant compounds were not completely extracted by PLPW. Antioxidant activity correlated well with total phenolics content of samples (R ² ≥ 0.94), however no correlation was observed with the saponin content. A strong correlation was observed between the antioxidant activity values obtained using different methods (R ² ≥ 0.94). These results point to the potential of PLPW extraction as a method to modify the activity of biological materials for the production of customized extracts.     

NaCl胁迫对大麦籽粒抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽循环的影响

为探讨NaCl胁迫对大麦籽粒抗坏血酸(AsA)-谷胱甘肽(GSH)循环的影响,以耐盐品系11pj-173和盐敏感品系11pj-033为试验材料,研究了不同浓度NaCl胁迫下,大麦籽粒灌浆期AsA-GSH循环的变化规律。结果显示,随着NaCl胁迫天数的增加,2个大麦品系的H_2O_2含量均逐渐增加,但11pj-173较同期对照的增幅均小于11pj-033;抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性、AsA、氧化型抗坏血酸(DHA)、GSH、氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量以及AsA/DHA比值均呈先升后降趋势。11pj-173的GSH/GSSG比值呈先升后降的趋势,而11pj-033呈波状变化,即先升后降又略增。与同期对照比,11pj-173的APX和GR活性、AsA和GSH含量及AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG的增幅均高于11pj-033,降幅均小于11pj-033;DHA和GSSG含量则与之相反,表明11pj-173籽粒在胁迫期间能够保持较高的AsA-GSH循环效率,可有效地抑制H_2O_2的积累。

Barley Bulgur: Effect of Processing and Cooking on Chemical Composition

Three barley cultivars (Hordeum vulgareL.) were processed into bulgur by pressure cooking or cooking at atmospheric pressure. The effect of processing on levels of thiamine, riboflavin, minerals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ca, Mg) as well as the phytic acid and β-glucan was investigated. Significant decreases (p<0·05) were observed in ash, riboflavin and thiamine contents during bulgur processing. Neither the cooking methods nor the dehulling process had significant influence on the content of Fe, Cu, Zn or Mg. However, the Mn and Ca content of the bulgurs were significantly (p<0·05) lower compared with the corresponding raw barleys. For all cultivars total P and phytate P contents of the bulgurs were significantly (p<0·05) lower compared with the corresponding raw barleys. In contrast, levels of β-glucan were significantly higher in processed bulgur vs raw barley. Protein contents of the samples did not change significantly during bulgur processing. Bulgur processed from barley appeared to retain most of the nutritional value of raw barley, in particular it showed high levels of soluble dietary fibre.

Effects of Hydrothermal Processing of Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentumMoench) Groats on Starch Enzymatic AvailabilityIn VitroandIn Vivoin Rats

Content of total starch (TS), rapidly digested starch (RDS), slowly digested starch (SDS), resistant starch (RS) and retrograded starch (RS₃), apparent amylose and total amylose were studied in raw (uncooked) and in hydrothermally treated buckwheat groats. Hydrothermally treated buckwheat samples contained 4·0–4·3% of retrograded starch (dmb). This means that about 5·5% of the TS present in the samples appeared as RS₃. There was a good correlation between the retrograded starch by thein vitromethod and the undigested starchin vivoin rats (r=0·91,P<0·01). In untreated groats and in groats dry-heated to 110 °C there was significantly less RDS than in hydrothermally treated samples. Approximately one half of the raw groat starch was not digested within 120 minin vitro. Buckwheat groats prepared by using the traditional procedure of cooking before dehusking followed by warm-air drying, have less than 48% (dmb) of rapidly available starch, in comparison to white wheat bread, where the corresponding value is almost 59%. Buckwheat groats starch with a reduced rate of digestion could be a possible complement to or a substitute for common carbohydrate sources.     

The Biochemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Fucus vesiculosus from the Arctic Region

Fucus vesiculosus is one of the most prominent brown algae in the shallow waters of the seas of the Arctic region (Barents (BS), White (WS), Norwegian (NS), and Irminger (IS)). The aim of this study was to determine the biochemical composition of F. vesiculosus from the Arctic at different reproductive phases, and to evaluate the antioxidant properties of F. vesiculosus extracts. The amounts of monosaccharides, phlorotannins, flavonoids, and ash and the mineral composition significantly varied in the algae. A strong correlation was established between monosaccharide, phlorotannin, and flavonoid accumulation and water salinity (Pearson’s correlation coefficients r = −0.58, 0.83, and 0.44, respectively; p < 0.05). We noted a negative correlation between the antioxidant activity and the amount of the structural monosaccharides of fucoidan (r = −0.64). A positive correlation of phlorotannins and flavonoids with antioxidant power was confirmed for all samples. The ash accumulation was relatively lower in the sterile phase for the algae from the BS and WS. The correlation between the Metal Pollution Index (MPI) and the reproductive phases was medium with high fluctuation. Meanwhile, the MPI strongly correlated with the salinity and sampling site. The gradient of the MPI values across the sea was in the following ranking order: BS < WS < NS < IS. Taken together, and based on our data on the elemental contents of F. vesiculosus, we believe that this alga does not accumulate toxic doses of elements. Therefore, the Arctic F. vesiculosus could be safely used in food and drug development as a source of active biochemical compounds and as a source of dietary elements to cover the daily nutritional requirements of humans.     

By-Products of Opuntia ficus-indica as a Source of Antioxidant Dietary Fiber

Dietary fiber and bioactive compounds are widely used as functional ingredients in processed foods. The market in this field is competitive and the development of new types of quality ingredients for the food industry is on the rise. Opuntia ficus-indica (cactus pear) produces edible tender stems (cladodes) and fruits with a high nutritional value in terms of minerals, protein, dietary fiber and phytochemicals; however, around 20% of fresh weight of cladodes and 45% of fresh weight of fruits are by-products. The objective of this study was therefore to determine the nutritional value of by-products obtained from cladodes and fruits from two varieties of Opuntia ficus-indica, examining their dietary fiber and natural antioxidant compound contents in order to obtain quality ingredients for functional foods and increase the added value of these by-products.     

Effects of Polishing on Proximate Composition,Physico-Chemical Characteristics,Mineral Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Pigmented Rice

The effects of polishing on proximate compositions,physico-chemical characteristics,mineral compositions and antioxidant properties of the rice flours obtained from three different pigmented rice varieties(Chak-hao Angangba,Chak-hao Amubi and Chak-hao Poireiton) were investigated.The rice varieties were significantly(P 0.05) different in the contents of the test characteristics.Lipids,ash,minerals,phytochemicals(phenolic acids and flavonoids) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) activity of rice flours were decreased after polishing(9% degree of milling),while amylose content and lightness were increased.X-ray diffraction pattern of rice flours exhibited A-type crystalline pattern with reflections at 15.1o,17.1o,18.2o and 23.0o.Pasting properties and transition temperatures were decreased after polishing treatment.Polishing resulted in changes in the crystallinity,enthalpy and morphology of rice flours.
