Globally, cereal grains are a staple part of the diet providing
primarily carbohydrates and other phytochemical components.
Detailed coverage of the composition and functionality of the bulk
carbohydrate components, specifically starch, beta-glucans, and
arabinoxylans, and the trace phytochemical components, i.e.
phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids, anthocyanins,
deoxyanthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins in cereal grains and grain
products is provided. Considerable attention is paid to the
interactions between carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate components
in grains including starch-protein and starch-lipid interactions
and their effects on starch digestibility. The phenolic
constituents bound to grain dietary fiber also receive detailed
consideration and the final chapter presents a review that
discusses whole grain-gut microbiota interactions identifying new
areas of research that may contribute to a better understanding of
the underlying mechanisms linked to human health. This book
provides researchers, clinicians and students with a comprehensive
compendium on aspects of whole grain components and brings the
literature up to date.
