Application of Autoclave Treatment for Development of a Natural Wheat Bran Antioxidant Ingredient.

ABSTRACT: The study evaluated the effect of autoclaving as a hydrothermal treatment on the quality and bioactivity of wheat bran (WB) with the objective of producing a natural ingredient with enhanced healthy properties. Nutritional, antioxidant, techno-functional and sensorial parameters were studied, and temperatures of 100, 115 and 130 °C were explored. Of these, 130 °C was found to be the best treatment, resulting in an ingredient with high storage stability, antioxidant properties, a four-fold increase in the concentration of free ferulic acid (compared with non-treated WB), and increased content of apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-hexoside, a flavonoid with reported antioxidant and antifungal properties. On the other hand, the autoclave treatment enhanced water absorption capacity and reduced WB pasting viscosity, mainly at higher temperature (130 °C), which would allow incorporation of the treated WB in liquid matrices such as juices, soups or milkshakes, among others. Although the glycemic index (GI) of the autoclaved samples increased, the use of intermediate particle size of 106 to 300 µm could contribute to the reduction of the glycemic load.

Project description:Abstract Objectives Health outcomes in previous fiber intervention studies have been variable, potentially due to differences in gut microbiome composition. This study aimed to determine if the effect of fiber intervention on the microbiome differs by initial microbiome or the quantity of fiber provided. Methods This study was designed as a randomized, un-blinded, cross-over trial of fiber cereal dosage. The cross-over design tested the effect of two 2-week long interventions with a High (28g) and Low (14g) level of daily supplemental fiber from whole wheat and bran cereal. Analysis was also completed on the overall study as a single arm, non-randomized, intervention of fiber cereal. The study enrolled 31 healthy adults. The microbiome was assessed at baseline and after intervention for changes in diversity, composition, and stability. Results Across all individuals, fiber intervention increased microbiome alpha-diversity (paired t-test, P = 0.047), but the microbiome was otherwise resistant to the effects of the intervention. Increasing fiber dose (High v. Low) was not associated with consistent changes in beta-diversity (linear mixed models). Approximately 20% of subjects were identified as responders based on beta diversity effect size. At baseline, responders had higher Prevotella copri and lower Bacteroides abundance than non-responders (Wilcoxon rank sum, qval < 0.05). In responders, fiber intake caused increased abundance of Bacteroides and Alistipes and reduced Prevotella (paired Wilcoxon, q < 0.2). In all subjects, fiber intervention decreased microbiome stability (paired Wilcoxon signed rank test, P = 0.006). In responders, there was a significant effect of the fiber level on stability, with higher fiber further lowering stability (linear mixed model, P = 0.05). Conclusions Our data suggest a responder/non-responder microbiome signature for this whole wheat and bran fiber cereal. We find that many effects were not additive by dosage level. Overall, microbiome diversity was increased and stability was decreased during the fiber cereal intervention and in responders this was dose dependent; the clinical implications of the impact of changes in stability remain unknown, and it is possible that the microbiome would stabilize in a longer intervention study.

Project description:Valorization of wheat bran (WB) into new high-value products is of great interest within the framework of sustainability and circular economy. In the present study, we utilized a multi-step approach to extract nutraceutical compounds (phenolic acids) from WB and improved its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties through using sequential hydrothermal and enzymatic hydrolysis. Thirteen commercial glycosidases differing in their specific activity were screened and compared for hydrolytic efficiency to release monosaccharides, ferulic acid, and diferulic acid. Ultraflo XL was selected as the desired enzyme treatment on the basis of its higher WB solubilization, as well as its monosaccharide and phenolic acids yields. The relationships between better hydrolytic performance of Ultraflo XL and its particular activity profile were established. To determine the optimum conditions for Ultraflo XL treatment, we tested different factors (solvent pH, incubation temperature, and time) under 15 experiments. A multicomponent analysis (MCA), including central composite design, model fitness, regression coefficients, analysis of variance, 3D response curves, and desirability, was used for processing optimization. A beneficial effect of autoclave treatment on the release of phenolic compounds was also evidenced. The results of MCA showed involvement of linear, quadratic, and interactive effects of processing factors, although solvent pH was the main determinant factor, affecting enzymatic extraction of phenolics and bioactivity of hydrolysates. As compared to control WB, under optimized conditions (47 °C, pH = 4.4, and 20.8 h), WB hydrolysates showed 4.2, 1.5, 2, and 3 times higher content of ferulic acid (FA) and capacity to scavenge oxygen radicals, chelate transition metals, and inhibit monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 secretion in macrophages, respectively. These approaches could be applied for the sustainable utilization of WB, harnessing its nutraceutical potential.
