Evaluating the biological potential of wheat grain cultivated in northwestern Mexico is important because it mainly varies according to the cultivar and production area. The aim of the present study was to evaluate ferulic acid (FA) bioaccessibility in breads supplemented with bioprocessed bran. Bran that was bioprocessed with xylanase enzyme (EB), yeast fermentation (FB), and a combination of both treatments (FEB) showed a higher total phenol content and antioxidant capacity compared with native bran (NB), and the majority of these components were found in a bound fraction. For NB and bioprocessed bran, FA was found at higher levels compared to the other hydroxycinnamic acids evaluated. Bioprocessing increased the free FA content six-fold compared to NB. The % bioaccessibility of FA in different breads increased in the following order: FEB
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
