Regulation of (1,3;1,4)-beta-glucan synthesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) endosperm and leaf tissues.
… explore the regulatory mechanism for (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan synthesis in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in both endosperm and leaf tissues. For the grain (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content regulation study, transcriptional profiles of candidate genes involved in (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan synthesis and degradation, from …

Impact of Dietary Beta-glucan Supplementation on Performance and Immune Response of Broiler Chickens During Challenge
… One approach under development is the use of -glucans, which are carbohydrates from cell walls of various plant species. The first study evaluated the feeding effects of algae- derived -glucans on performance and responses of broilers during a coccidiosis challenge. Cobb 500 broilers (n=1280) …

Development and evaluation of a beta-glucan biopolymer formulation of lactoferrin produced using a novel cryomilling technique
… In the present study, a natural polymer, β-glucan, was investigated as a protein carrier. A novel methodology was developed to produce microparticles encapsulating bovine lactoferrin (bLF), a whey protein from milk. β-glucan was investigated as a protein delivery candidate for the first time …

Dietary Strategies to Influence Appetite: Effects of Oat Beta-Glucan and Thylakoids from Spinach on Satiety and Reward-induced Eating Behavior
… cereal (RTEC), each containing the soluble fiber beta-glucan. The spinach extract containing thylakoids, the internal photosynthetic membrane of plants, was compared with a placebo. The first study, a randomized crossover trial compared the effect of IO and SO on subjective ratings of satiety, …

Manipulation of Anthocyanin Accumulation by Vaccinium Pahalae in Vitro
Elicitation of the cells by both biotic (purified beta-glucan and chitosan) and abiotic (FeEDDHA and CuSO4) elicitors resulted in significant enhancement of anthocyanin accumulation. Maximum anthocyanin production using the two most effective elicitors (90 muM FeEDDHA or 10 mg L -1 beta-glucan) was …

Grain hardness and slow dry matter disappearance rate in barley
… reflectance, feed particle size, protein and beta-glucan. Hardness measurements ranked genotypes similarly across environments. Feed particle size was correlated with milling energy but not other hardness measurements. Hardness measurements appeared to be influenced by protein and …

Mold Induced Asthma: Not all Molds are Created Equal
… spores had increased exposure of beta-glucans on their surface and were able to bind Dectin-1. Thus, the host response to C. cladosporioides¿¿ was IL-17A- and Dectin1-independent, while Dectin-1 and IL-17A-dependent pathways were protective against the development of asthma after …

Potential of Hulless Winter Barley as an Improved Feed Crop
… cultivars; (ii) determine and compare fiber, b-glucan, protein, and fat concentrations, and true metabolizable energy, corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) among these genotypes; and (iii) evaluate the genetic potential of winter hulless barley accessions from the world collection for use as parents in …

Development of fortified blended food and the effect of selected parameters on its composition and functionality
… vitamins A and E, lower contents of phytic acid, beta-glucan, starch and lower viscosity after reconstitution and cooking. The cereal type (oats, wheat or barley) used in preparation of FBF base (FBFB) significantly affected composition and reconstitution properties, with FBFB prepared from oats …

Extractability and viscosity of β-glucan from oat bread during in vitro digestion
Oat β-glucan is well known for its health benefits, which are related to its rheological behavior in the gut. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the extractability and viscosity of β-glucan from oat bread under physiological conditions and to see whether there were varietal …

Impact of formula additives on immune and gastrointestinal development in the piglet
… by adding different ingredients, such as β-(1,3)-glucans (βG), nucleotides (NT), and human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) could stimulate the development of the neonatal immune and gastrointestinal systems. Dietary βG are able to boost the natural defense mechanism by stimulating both innate …

Glycaemic Response in Relation to Gastric Emptying and Satiety in Health and Disease
… compared with cornflakes. Muesli with 4 g oat β-glucan does not affect the GER or satiety, but lowers the postprandial blood glucose response, indicating that the GER is not involved in the blood glucose lowering mechanism. Whole-kernel wheat bread served with vinegar leads to higher satiety than …
