The effects of the β‐glucan content and pearling of barley on abdominal obesity and the proinflammatory state were investigated in diet‐induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups and fed either a high‐fat diet containing high‐β‐glucan barley (Beau Fiber [BF]) or a high‐fat diet containing β‐glucan‐free barley (Shikoku‐hadaka 84(bgl ) [BGL]) as whole grain flour or 60% pearled flour for 12 weeks. The weights of mesenteric fat, serum total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, serum insulin and fasting glucose levels, oral glucose tolerance test results, and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of proinflammatory markers in epididymal fat in both BF groups were significantly lower than those of both BGL groups. The abundance of Bacteroides in both BF groups was significantly higher than that in both BGL groups, whereas the abundance of Clostridium clusters in both BF groups was significantly lower than that in both BGL groups. No significant differences between the whole grain and pearled flours were observed. These results suggest that high‐β‐glucan barley attenuates the progression of abdominal obesity and the proinflammatory state in diet‐induced obese mice compared with β‐glucan‐free barley, possibly by modifying insulin secretion and the microbiota. 相似文献

Barley β‐glucan concentrate shows great potential as a functional food ingredient, but few product applications exist. The objectives of this study were to formulate a functional beverage utilizing barley β‐glucan concentrate, and to make a sensory evaluation of beverage quality in comparison to pectin beverages and to assess shelf stability over 12 weeks. Three beverage treatments containing 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7% (w/w) barley β‐glucan were developed in triplicate. Trained panelists found peely‐ and fruity‐orange aroma and sweetness intensity to be similar (P > 0.05) for all beverages tested. Beverage sourness intensity differed among beverages (P ≤ 0.05). Panelists evaluated beverages containing 0.3% hydrocolloid as similar (P > 0.05), whereas beverages with 0.5 and 0.7% β‐glucan were more viscous (P ≤ 0.05) than those with pectin at these levels. Acceptability of beverages was similar according to the consumer panel. Shelf stability studies showed no microbial growth and stable pH for all beverages over 12 weeks. Colorimeter values for most beverages decreased (P ≤ 0.05) during the first week of storage, mostly stabilizing thereafter. With an increase in concentration, β‐glucan beverages became lighter in color (P ≤ 0.05) and cloudier, but these attributes for pectin beverages were not affected (P > 0.05). β‐Glucan beverages exhibited cloud loss during the first three weeks of storage. β‐Glucan can therefore be successfully utilized in the production of a functional beverage acceptable to consumers. 相似文献

Nine hull‐less barley (HB) containing waxy (0–7% amylose), normal (≈25% amylose), or high amylose (≈42% amylose) starch with normal or fractured granule make‐up and 4–9% (1→3)(1→4)‐β‐d ‐glucans (β‐glucan) were pearled to remove 70% of the original grain weight in 10% intervals. The pearled fractions were analyzed for β‐glucan distribution within HB grain. Protein content of the pearled fractions indicated that the three outermost fractions contained pericarp and testa, aleurone, and subaleurone tissues, respectively. For all HB, β‐glucan and acid‐extract viscosity were very low in the outermost 20% of the kernel. For low β‐glucan HB, β‐glucan content was the greatest in the subaleurone region and declined slightly toward inner layers. For high β‐glucan HB, however, more than 80% of grain β‐glucan was distributed more evenly throughout the endosperm. Acid extract viscosity was significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with total (r = 0.75) and soluble (r = 0.87) β‐glucan content throughout the kernel of all HB. Growing conditions, location and year, had significant effects on the concentration of protein, starch and β‐glucan. However, protein, starch, and β‐glucan distribution patterns were not affected by growing conditions. The difference in β‐glucan distribution between low and high β‐glucan HB may explain the difference in milling performance of HB with low or high β‐glucan. 相似文献

β‐Glucan can be solubilized from barley by warm water, with increasing solubilization as the temperature is increased. Substantially less glucan is extracted if the barley is dehusked using sulfuric acid, particularly if the dehusked barley is denatured. This indicates that enzymes capable of solubilizing glucan are present in barley. Various purified enzymes promote the solubilization of glucan from denatured and dehusked barley. Apart from endo‐β‐(1→3)(1→4)‐glucanase, these enzymes include endo‐xylanases, arabinofuranosidase, xyloacetylesterase, and feruloyl esterase. Ferulic acid and, probably, acetyl groups are esterlinked to arabinoxylan, not β‐glucan, in the cell walls of barley starchy endosperm, so the ability of the esterases, xylanases, and arabinofuranosidase to solubilize glucan indicates the pentosan component of the cell wall can restrict the extraction of glucan. 相似文献

Films for potential food use were prepared from aqueous solutions of β‐glucan extracted from hulled barley, hull‐less barley, and oats. The extracts (75.2–79.3% β‐glucan) also contained proteins, fat, and ash. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer. The films were translucent, smooth, and homogeneous in structure on both sides. Water vapor permeability of films prepared from 4% solutions of β‐glucan extracts were higher than those from 2% solutions, despite similar values for water vapor transmission rate. Mechanical properties were influenced by both β‐glucan source and concentration. The oat β‐glucan films showed higher tensile strength and water solubility, and lower color, opacity, and deformation values than those of barley. Films prepared from hull‐less barley cv. HLB233 remained intact upon immersion in water for 24 hr. 相似文献

This study focused on the performance of two hulless barley cultivars (Doyce and Merlin) and one commercial husked (hulled) sample using experimental milling. The purpose was to use experimental milling as a preliminary indicator of the milled streams with potential use for fuel ethanol production and fractions that could be used in food products. Experimental mills designed for flour production evaluation from wheat were Chopin CD1 Auto, Quadrumat Sr, Buhler, and an experimental Ross roller mill walking flow. Results indicate that the shorts had the highest levels of β‐glucan from all the mills. However, the β‐glucan content in the break flours was highest with the roller mill walking flow and the Chopin CD1 for the hulless cultivars. The lowest β‐glucan content in the break flour was found with the Buhler for Doyce. Break flour and, to a slightly lesser extent, reduction flour from all cultivars tested on all mills contained the highest starch content (up to 83%) and are therefore most appropriate for use as feedstock for fuel ethanol production. Conversely, bran and shorts from all cultivars and mills were lowest in starch (as low as 25%), making them ideal as low‐starch food ingredients. 相似文献

An improved wet method was developed to process barley into fractions concentrated in protein, (1‐3)(1‐4)‐β‐d ‐glucan (BG), starch, or other carbohydrates (CHO). Alkaline concentration, solvent to barley flour ratio (SFR), and extraction temperature were evaluated for their effects on concentration and recovery of protein, BG, starch, oil, ash, and other CHO in each fraction type. Results show that the three parameters and their interactions all had significant effects, resulting in varying nutrient concentrations and recovery rates in each type of fractions. For protein fractions, protein content varied from 37.7 to 75.2%, protein recovery from 8.5 to 75.7%, and increasing alkaline concentration and SFR improved nutrient recovery. For BG fractions, BG content ranged from 21.5 to 87.0%, BG recovery from 28.6 to 78.0%, and increasing alkaline concentration decreased BG content but increased its recovery significantly. For starch fractions, starch content varied from 76.9 to 93.9%, starch recovery from 33.6 to 63.9%, and all parameters had little effect on the nutrient concentrations, but alkaline concentration and SFR improved recovery of starch, other CHO, and mass. Overall, the improved wet method was effective in concentrating the major nutrients from barley into their respective fractions, but process optimization through manipulating the three parameters is necessary to achieve a maximum concentration or recovery rate of a nutrient of interest in a specific fraction. 相似文献

The in vitro bile acid binding by rice bran, oat bran, dehulled barley, and β‐glucan enriched barley was determined using a mixture of bile acids at a duodenal physiological pH of 6.3. Six treatments and two blank incubations were conducted testing substrates on an equal protein basis. The relative in vitro bile acid binding of the cereal brans on an equal total dietary fiber (TDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) basis considering cholestyramine as 100% bound was rice bran 45 and 49%; oat bran 23 and 30%; dehulled barley 33 and 57%; and β‐glucan enriched barley 20 and 40%, respectively. Bile acid bindings on equal protein basis for the respective cereals were 68, 26, 41, and 49%. Bile acid binding by rice bran may account to a great extent for its cholesterol‐lowering properties, while bile acid binding by oat bran suggests that the primary mechanism of cholesterol lowering by oat bran is not due to the bile acid binding by its soluble fiber. Bile acid binding was not proportional to the soluble fiber content of the cereal brans tested. Except for dehulled barley, bile acid binding for rice bran, oat bran, and β‐glucan enriched barley appear to be related to their IDF content. Highest relative bile acid binding values for rice bran and β‐glucan enriched barley were observed on an equal protein basis, whereas highest values for dehulled barley were based on IDF. Data suggest that of all four cereals tested, bile acid binding may be related to IDF or protein anionic, cationic, physical and chemical structure, composition, metabolites, or their interaction with active binding sites. 相似文献

Fortifying bread with β‐glucan has been shown to reduce bread quality and the associated health benefits of barley β‐glucan. Fortification of bread using β‐glucan concentrates that are less soluble during bread preparation steps has not been investigated. The effects of β‐glucan concentration and gluten addition on the physicochemical properties of bread and β‐glucan solubility and viscosity were investigated using a less soluble β‐glucan concentrate, as were the effects of baking temperature and prior β‐glucan solubilization. Fortification of bread with β‐glucan decreased loaf volume and height (P ≤ 0.05) and increased firmness (P ≤ 0.05). Gluten addition to bread at the highest β‐glucan level increased height and volume (P ≤ 0.05) to values exceeding those for the control and decreased firmness (P ≤ 0.05). β‐Glucan addition increased (P ≤ 0.05) extract viscosity, as did gluten addition to the bread with the highest β‐glucan level. Baking at low temperature decreased (P ≤ 0.05) β‐glucan viscosity and solubility, as did solubilizing it prior to dough formulation. Utilization of β‐glucan that is less soluble during bread preparation may hold the key to effectively fortifying bread with β‐glucan without compromising its health benefits, although more research is required. 相似文献

The endosperm cell walls of barley are composed largely of a (1→3)(1→4)‐β‐d ‐glucan commonly known simply as β‐d ‐glucan (Wood 2001). There has been much research into the characteristics of barley β‐glucan because of the influence of this polysaccharide on performance of barley in malting and subsequent brewing of beer, and in feed value, especially for young chicks (MacGregor and Fincher 1993). The potential for β‐glucan to develop high viscosity is a problem in these uses, but from the perspective of human nutrition, this characteristic may be an advantage. The glycemic response to oat β‐glucan is inversely related to (log)viscosity (Wood et al 1994a) and there is evidence to suggest that the lowering of serum cholesterol levels associated with oat and barley products (Lupton et al 1994; Wood and Beer 1998) is at least in part due to the β‐glucan (Braaten et al 1994) and probably also its capacity to develop viscosity in the gastrointestinal tract (Haskell et al 1992). 相似文献

Health claims for barley β‐glucan (BG) have prompted the development of food products containing barley; however, some new products (such as milled grain used without a cook step, as in a smoothie) do not use any form of heat treatment during processing or prior to consumption, which could affect microbial safety and potential health benefits. The aims of this research were to evaluate current commercial barley products for microbial counts and BG characteristics and to determine the effects of different heat treatments on these attributes in whole grain barley samples. Three heat treatments (micronization, roasting, and conditioning) were performed on three cultivars of barley (CDC Rattan, CDC McGwire, and CDC Fibar). The microbial quality was measured with standard plate count (SPC), mold and yeast count (MYC), and coliforms or Escherichia coli . Only four of the 17 commercial barley products tested met acceptable microbial limits used in this study. All three heat treatments applied to the barley samples in this study reduced SPC, MYC, and coliforms to an acceptable level. BG was extracted with an in vitro digestion method to determine its viscosity, molecular weight (MW), and solubility. All three heat treatments produced BG extracts with high viscosity and MW compared with untreated barley. Overall, heat treatments improved both the safety and the potential health benefits from soluble BG in whole grain barley. 相似文献

Temporal and genotypic differences in bulk carbohydrate accumulation in three barley genotypes differing in the content of mixed linkage β‐(1→3),(1→4)‐D‐glucan (β‐glucan) and starch were investigated using proton high‐resolution, magic angle spinning, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H HR MAS NMR) during grain filling. For the first time, 1H HR MAS NMR spectra of flour from immature barley seeds are analyzed. Spectral assignments are made using two‐dimensional (2D) NMR methods. Both α‐ and β‐glucan biosynthesis were characterized by inspection of the spectra as well as by calibration to the reference methods for starch and β‐glucan content. Starch was quantified with very good calibrations to the α‐(1→4) peak (5.29–5.40 ppm) and the region 3.67–3.83 ppm covering starch glycopyranosidic protons from H5 and H6. In contrast, the spectral inspection of the β‐anomeric region 4.45–4.85 ppm showed unexpected lack of intensity in the high β‐glucan mutant lys5f at seed maturity, resulting in poor calibration to reference β‐glucan content. We hypothesize that the lack of β‐glucan signal in lys5f indicates partial immobilization of the β‐glucan that appears to be either genotypic dependent or water/β‐glucan ratio dependent. 相似文献

Rheological properties of raw oat flour slurries were determined in experimental high β‐glucan (≤7.8%) and traditional oat lines (4–5% β‐glucan) grown in two consecutive years. Three different media were used to disperse oat flours: deionized water, silver nitrate solution (to inactivate endogenous enzymes), and alkali solution (to solubilize both water‐soluble and water‐insoluble β‐glucans). Significant correlations (P < 0.05) between viscosity of slurries and β‐glucan concentration obtained in either deionized water (r = 0.833), silver nitrate (r = 0.940), or alkali (r = 0.896) solutions showed that β‐glucans were the main contributor to oat extract viscosity. The highest correlation was obtained in silver nitrate solution, suggesting that inactivating endogenous enzymes is important to obtain high correlations. Predictive models of oat β‐glucan concentration based on the viscosity profile were developed using partial least squares (PLS) regression. Prediction of β‐glucan concentration based on viscosity was most effective in the silver nitrate solution (r = 0.949, correlation coefficient of predicted vs. analyzed β‐glucans) and least effective in the alkali solution (r = 0.870). These findings demonstrate that the β‐glucan in oat could be predicted by measuring the viscosity of raw flours in silver nitrate solution, and this method could be used as a screening tool for selective breeding. 相似文献

Oats, different oat fractions as well as experimental and commercial oat‐based foods, were extracted with hot water containing thermostable α‐amylase. Average molecular weight and molecular weight distributions of β‐glucan in extracts were analyzed with a calibrated high‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography system with Calcofluor detection, specific for the β‐glucan. Oats, rolled oats, oat bran, and oat bran concentrates all had high Calcofluor average molecular weights (206 × 104 to 230 × 104 g/mol) and essentially monomodal distributions. Of the oat‐containing experimental foods, extruded flakes, macaroni, and muffins all had high average molecular weights. Pasteurized apple juice, fresh pasta, and teacake, on the other hand, contained degraded β‐glucan. Calcofluor average molecular weights varied from 24 × 104 to 167 × 104 g/mol in different types of oat bran‐based breads baked with almost the same ingredients. Large particle size of the bran and short fermentation time limited the β‐glucan degradation during baking. The polymodal distributions of β‐glucan in these breads indicated that this degradation was enzymatic in nature. Commercial oat foods also showed large variation in Calcofluor average molecular weight (from 19 × 104 g/mol for pancake batter to 201 × 104 g/mol for porridge). Boiling porridge or frying pancakes did not result in any β‐glucan degradation. These large differences in molecular weight distribution for β‐glucan in different oat products are very likely to be of nutritional importance. 相似文献

Effects of various enzymes and extraction conditions on yield and molecular weight of β‐glucans extracted from two batches of commercial oat bran produced in Sweden are reported. Hot‐water extraction with a thermostable α‐amylase resulted in an extraction yield of ≈76% of the β‐glucans, while the high peak molecular weight was maintained (1.6 × 106). A subsequent protein hydrolysis significantly reduced the peak molecular weight of β‐glucans (by pancreatin to 908 × 103 and by papain to 56 × 103). These results suggest that the protein hydrolyzing enzymes may not be pure enough for purifying β‐glucans. The isolation scheme consisted of removal of lipids with ethanol extraction, enzymatic digestion of starch with α‐amylase, enzymatic digestion of protein using protease, centrifugation to remove insoluble material, removal of low molecular weight components using dialysis, precipitation of β‐glucans with ethanol, and air‐drying. 相似文献

Barley and oat β‐glucans of low viscosity form reversible gels when prepared in sufficiently high concentrations. Solutions of three barley β‐glucan gums differing in molecular weight and thus in viscosity were prepared at 1.0, 2.5, or 5.0% (w/w) concentration levels. Medium‐ and high‐viscosity gums were prepared in a pilot plant (PP) and laboratory (LAB), respectively. Low‐viscosity (LV) gum was extracted in the laboratory at pH 7, which allowed for native enzymatic activity and decreased molecular weight. Network formation was monitored overnight through changes in storage (G′) and loss (G″) moduli. The strength of the formed network was determined from oscillatory rheological measurements by increasing the strain from 2 to 100%. Findings demonstrate that gelation of β‐glucan is molecular weight dependent and practically an instantaneous process for low‐viscosity gum solutions at concentrations of ≤5% gum (or ≤4% β‐glucan), levels lower than previously anticipated. The purity of β‐glucan also seems to affect gelation rate. Better understanding of the β‐glucan gelation behavior is important for its functionality in both food product applications and physiological mechanisms of its health benefits. 相似文献

The cholesterol-lowering effect of cereal grains has been associated with the soluble fiber component of dietary fiber. β-Glucan is the major soluble fiber component of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and oat (Avena sativa L.). Much research has been conducted to determine the β-glucan content of barley and oat genotypes from many different countries. However, genotypes of both crops always were grown in separate experiments, making direct comparisons between the two crops difficult. This study compares in the same experiment the β-glucan content of nine barley and 10 oat genotypes grown at two locations in each of two years (i.e., four environments) in North Dakota. Averaged across genotypes, total β-glucan content of barley and oat groat was similar. Soluble β-glucan content of oat groat was greater than barley, and oat groat had a greater ratio of soluble-to-total β-glucan than barley. The soluble β-glucan content and ratio of soluble to total β-glucan content of the “best” barley genotypes were less than that of oat genotypes with the highest levels of these two traits. 相似文献

The soluble fiber, β‐glucan, in oat products is an active hypolipidemic component that is responsible for lowering plasma lipids. Quantitative analysis of β‐glucan in oat hydrocolloids such as Oatrim, Nutrim, and C‐Trim was performed to measure the total β‐glucan content and molecular weight distribution. For the measurement of total β‐glucan content, both modified flow‐injection analysis (FIA) method and the standard AACC enzymatic method were employed. FIA method uses the enhanced fluorescence produced when β‐glucan forms complexes with Calcofluor. Experimental results of both the modified FIA method and the standard AACC enzymatic method revealed very good coincidence with each other. This result confirms the applicability of either technique for the quantitative evaluation of β‐glucan in hydrocolloids. Molecular weight (MW) distribution of β‐glucan was determined by size‐exclusion chromatography with postcolumn detection. Experimental results revealed that the molecular weight of β‐glucan in the Trim products was decreased during the manufacturing process. This result was ascribed to the rigorous processing condition of jet‐cooking. 相似文献

Nine types of muffins made with three levels of β‐glucan and three amylose‐amylopectin ratios were prepared at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, United States Department of Agriculture. They were fed to human subjects to study effects of starch composition and dietary fiber content on the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in normal and overweight women. The main objective of this study was to determine resistant starch (RS) and total dietary fiber (TDF) content of the muffins 1) using AACC Approved Method 32‐07 and AOAC method 991.43, incorporating a pretreatment step with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) before enzyme incubation, 2) with pretreatment at 100 and 121°C before incubation with amyloglucosidase, and 3) using samples chewed by human subjects before incubation with pancreatin and amyloglucosidase. For method 1, on an as‐eaten basis, TDF content was 2.81 to 9.64 g/100 g for samples without DMSO pretreatment and 1.66 to 4.06 g/100 g with DMSO pretreatment. RS content was 0.30 to 11.18 g/100 g for methods 1 and 2, respectively. Methods 2 and 3 had the best correlation for all muffins tested (r2 = 0.97). 相似文献
