Research progress in structural and nutritional characterization and technologically processing impact on cool-season adapted oat and barley cereal kernels with wet chemistry and advanced vibrational molecular spectroscopy

Dry heating, moist heating, and microwave irradiation of cold‐climate‐adapted barley grain—Effects on ruminant‐relevant carbohydrate and molecular structural spectral profiles

“…Recently, the intrinsic molecular structure of nutrients has been proposed to a potential predictor to estimate nutrient supply and availability for ruminants. The relationship between nutrient inherent molecular structure and the nutritive values has been reported in several published studies (Khan et al, 2015, Sun et al, 2018, Tosta et al, 2021, Xin et al, 2021. The attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy is a rapid, nondestructive analytical approach to study nutrient molecular structure and hence its utilization and availability (Khan et al, 2015;Rodríguez-Espinosa et al, 2020;Tosta et al, 2021;Xin et al, 2021).…”

“…Heat‐related processing has gained considerable interest to increase the nutritional values of feed ingredients (Rodríguez‐Espinosa et al, 2020; Tosta et al, 2021; Xin et al, 2021). Besides coarse grinding and using buffering additives, heat processing is also an effective method to prevent ruminal acidosis.…”

This technique requires minimal sample preparation and no chemicals during analysis.…”
