“…Also, the DF content of WB (containing both outer layers and germ) and WB (only outer layers) were found 52.2% and 59.3%, respectively (Frolich & Asp, 1981). Our results are in close range with the above studies and literature (Stevenson, Phillips, O'Sullivan, & Walton, 2012). Table 3 shows the bound phenolic acid and flavonoid contents (mg/g of sample) of WB, IDF, and SDF.…”

The potential of wheat bran (WB) addition as a prebiotic source were demonstrated using yogurt with probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis). Yogurts (with 4% WB) were significantly (P < 0.05) different in total bacterial counts (9.1 log CFU/mL), and total titratable acidity % (TTA, 1.4%) compared to controls during 28 days cold storage (4C). Additionally, WB-total dietary fiber contents and their bound phenolic profiles were investigated as well as the antioxidant activity of WB-water extractable polysaccharides (WEP) was studied. HPLC analysis of alkaline hydrolyzed DF fractions showed that insoluble DF had higher phenolic acids (84.2%) content than soluble DF (15.8%). Also, crude-WEP showed stronger antioxidant activity compared to purified-WEP with an ORAC of 71.88 and 52.48 µmol TE/g, respectively. Here we demonstrate WB has potentials as a source of prebiotics, which may have the potentials for functional foods and nutraceutical applications.

“…The diagrams demonstrate that the density of LDPE is slightly higher than that of pumpkin seed hulls, whereas wheat bran has a density which is almost three [19] than that of the polymer matrix. As a result, a significant decrease in density can be observed after the addition of 5% filler content.…”

“…The main ingredient of wheat bran is raw fiber comprising a sum of fibrous substances such as cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. Apart from that, wheat bran contains phytic acid, oligosaccharides and non-starch polysaccharides as well as small amounts of fats and proteins [19].…”

The study reports the results of investigation of basic processing and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene modified with two types of natural filler: wheat bran and pumpkin seed hulls, their content ranging from 5% to 15% relative to the matrix. In addition, physical properties of the produced granulates are determined, i.e. the relationship between their density and the applied contents of the tested fillers. Furthermore, the study reports the results concerning longitudinal shrinkage, abrasion resistance and cold water absorption of injection molded tensile specimens.

“…In the case of cereal processing, most grains used for food production are milled to separate the bran and this inevitably results in a significant amount of residual biomass. This waste material, however, contains an array of nutritionally important constituents, including phenolics, vitamins, fiber and minerals, and consumption of bran-based commodities has been claimed to offer several advantages to human health [1,2].…”

Low-Transition Temperature Mixtures (LTTMs) Made of Bioorganic Molecules: Enhanced Extraction of Antioxidant Phenolics from Industrial Cereal Solid Wastes

2017

Several low-transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs), based on L-lactic acid and amino acids but also choline chloride, were synthesized and screened for their effectiveness in extracting antioxidant phenolics from industrial cereal solid wastes. In most cases, highly efficient LTTMs were those composed of L-lactic acid and choline chloride, but LTTMs composed of L-lactic acid and glycine or alanine also exhibited comparable extraction capacity. The extract from barley bran was shown to express powerful antioxidant activity, which was significantly higher than all the other extracts examined. This fact was attributed to the particularly high content in total flavanols. The data suggested that the most effective solvents, as revealed herein, merit further investigation as very promising means of extracting valuable chemicals from industrial agri-food residues. Additionally, barley bran should be more thoroughly examined for its prospect as a waste source of effective antioxidants, which could be used as nutritional supplements and active cosmetic ingredients.
