Six commercially grown samples of hard spring wheat were milled using a tandem Buhler laboratory mill. Individual flour streams and branny by‐products, as well as whole‐grain wheat and straight‐grade flour, were characterized in terms of total (TP), water‐extractable (WEP), and water‐unextractable (WUP) pentosans. One representative cultivar sample was analyzed for its ratio of arabinose to xylose (A/X). TP and WEP of whole grain wheat of the six samples had ranges of 5.45–7.32% and 0.62–0.90% (dm), respectively. Neither TP nor WEP of whole grain was related to ash content variation. There was significant variation in the distribution and composition of pentosans in 16 millstreams of all the wheat samples, including bran and shorts fractions; TP and WEP contents had ranges of 1.69–32.4% and 0.42–1.76% (dm), respectively. When ash contents exceeded ≈0.6% (dm), strong positive correlations were obtained between ash and TP contents, and between ash and WUP contents for all the millstreams. Among bran and shorts fractions, TP and WUP content increased in the order of coarse bran > fine bran > shorts; while WEP, WEP/WUP and A/X showed the opposite pattern of variation of shorts > fine bran > coarse bran. Bran and shorts fractions had pentosan contents several times higher than would be predicted from the relationship between pentosan and ash contents of the flour streams. Pentosans therefore represented a much more sensitive marker of flour refinement compared with ash content. Pentosans of endosperm were substantially different in their extractability and composition from those of bran. On this basis, different functionalities of pentosans of bran and endosperm would be expected. Results demonstrated the importance of milling extraction and millstream blending in the functionality and quality of wheat flour for breadmaking.  相似文献

To gain insight into the distribution of arabinoxylans (AX), endoxylanases, and endoxylanase inhibitors in industrial wheat roller milling, all streams, that is, 54 flour fractions, 4 bran fractions, and the germ, were analyzed for ash, starch, and protein contents, alpha-amylase activity levels, total (TOT-AX) and water-extractable arabinoxylan (WE-AX) contents, endoxylanase activity levels, and endoxylanase inhibitor (TAXI and XIP) contents. In general, bran fractions were significantly richer in TOT-AX and WE-AX contents, endoxylanase activity levels, and endoxylanase inhibitor contents than germ and, even more so, than flour fractions. In the 54 different flour fractions, minimal and maximal values for TOT-AX and WE-AX contents differed by ca. 2-fold, whereas they differed by ca. 15-fold for endoxylanase activity levels. The latter were positively correlated with ash and negatively correlated with starch content, suggesting that the endoxylanase activity in flour is strongly influenced by the level of bran contamination. TAXI contents in the flour fractions varied ca. 4-fold and were strongly correlated with bran-related parameters such as ash content and enzyme activity levels, whereas XIP contents varied ca. 3-fold and were not correlated with any of the parameters measured in this study. The results can be valuable in blending and optimizing wheat flour fractions to obtain flours with specific technological and nutritional benefits.  相似文献

Water‐extractable (WE) material was isolated from a Canadian barley malt (cv. Harrington). The purified WE material contained mainly arabinoxylans, β‐glucans, proteins, and small amounts of arabinogalactans and mannose‐containing polymers. WE material was treated with specific enzymes to obtain two fractions: one enriched in arabinoxylan (AX) and another enriched in β‐glucan (BG). The AX fraction was further fractionated by stepwise precipitation in (NH4)2SO4 into five arabinoxylan subfractions. 1H‐NMR spectroscopy and sugar analyses revealed a relatively high content of unsubstituted xylose residues (48–58%) as well as a relatively high content of doubly substituted xylose residues (28–33%) in the structure of the arabinoxylans. β‐Glucans constituted a minor portion of water‐extractable malt polysaccharides and were characterized by high levels of tri‐ and tetrasaccharide residues (93.4%) with a molar ratio of 2.19 for cellotriosyl to cellotetraosyl units. Size‐exclusion chromatography revealed that the WE material contained several polymer populations. One population had a very high molecular weight that appeared to be the result of aggregation. The AX fraction contained higher molecular weight polymers than the BG fraction.  相似文献

Three hull‐less barley genotypes containing starches with variable amylose content (23.8% normal, 4.3% waxy, 41.8% high‐amylose barley) were pearled to 10% and then roller‐milled to produce pearling by‐products (PBP), flour, and fiber‐rich fractions (FRF). PBP were enriched in arabinoxylans, protein, and ash and contained small amounts of starch and β‐glucans. FRF were considerably enriched in β‐glucans and arabinoxylans. The solubility of β‐glucans was higher in PBP than in FRF. The solubility of arabinoxylans was higher in FRF than in PBP. Small amounts of arabinogalactans detected in barley were concentrated in the outer portion of the barley kernel. The content and solubility of nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) in various milling fractions was also dependent on the type of barley. To obtain more detailed information about the content and molecular structure of NSP, each milling fraction was sequentially extracted with water, alkaline [Ba(OH)2], again with water, and finally with NaOH. These extractions resulted in four sub‐fractions: WE, Ba(OH)2, Ba(OH)2/H2O, and NaOH. β‐Glucans and arabinoxylans exhibited structural heterogeneity derived from differences in their location within the kernel as well as from the genetic origin of barley. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF and flour had a substantially lower degree of branching than those from PBP. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF of high‐amylose and normal barley contained more unsubstituted Xylp residues but fewer doubly‐substituted and singly‐substituted Xylp at O‐2 than their counterparts from PBP. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF of waxy barley had a relatively high content of doubly‐substituted, but very few singly‐substituted Xylp residues. In all three barley genotypes, the ratio of tri‐ to tetrasaccharides in β‐glucans from PBP was higher than from flour and FRF. Substantial differences in the molecular weight of NSP in different milling fractions were also observed.  相似文献

Ball milling was used for producing complex arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) and low molecular mass arabinoxylans (AX) from wheat bran, pericarp-enriched wheat bran, and psyllium seed husk. The arabinose to xylose ratio of the samples produced varied between 0.14 and 0.92, and their average degree of polymerization (avDP) ranged between 42 and 300. Their fermentation for 48 h in an in vitro system using human colon suspensions was compared to enzymatically produced wheat bran AXOS with an arabinose to xylose ratio of 0.22 and 0.34 and an avDP of 4 and 40, respectively. Degrees of AXOS fermentation ranged from 28% to 50% and were lower for the higher arabinose to xylose ratio and/or higher avDP materials. Arabinose to xylose ratios of the unfermented fractions exceeded those of their fermented counterparts, indicating that molecules less substituted with arabinose were preferably fermented. Xylanase, arabinofuranosidase, and xylosidase activities increased with incubation time. Enzyme activities in the samples containing psyllium seed husk AX or psyllium seed husk AXOS were generally higher than those in the wheat bran AXOS preparations. Fermentation gave rise to unbranched short-chain fatty acids. Concentrations of acetic, propionic, and butyric acids increased to 1.9-2.6, 1.9-2.8, and 1.3-2.0 times their initial values, respectively, after 24 h incubation. Results show that the human intestinal microbiota can at least partially use complex AXOS and low molecular mass AX. The tested materials are thus interesting physiologically active carbohydrates.  相似文献

The polished Job's tears ( Coix lachryma-jobi L.) seeds, dark and white husk types, were sequentially extracted by hot water (75 degrees C) and 0.5 M NaOH solution. Nonstarch polysaccharides were not found in the water extract but were present in the alkali extract. The major components of the alkali extract from both Job's tears were protein, ash, and nonstarch polysaccharides, mainly arabinoxylans. The high arabinose to xylose ratio of 1.25 and 1.24 indicated a highly substituted structure. The average molecular weight (MW) of arabinoxylans of the dark and white husk types were 741,000 Da (Pd 1.5) and 1,449,000 Da (Pd 2.6), respectively, and their average MW reduced after treatment with protease. The alkali extractable arabinoxylans were elucidated to have a (1,4)-linked beta- d-xylan main chain highly substituted with single arabinose units. The results showed that the alpha- l-arabinofuranosyl residues (Ara f) were attached to the main chain mostly at O-3, followed by both O-2 and O-3 of xylopyranosyl residues (Xyl p).  相似文献

Water-soluble arabinoxylans from wheat flour were purified and fractionated by graded ethanol precipitation. Six fractions were obtained at 20% (F20), 30% (F30), 40% (F40), 50% (F50), 60% (F60), and 70% (F70) saturation with ethanol. Neutral sugars and (1)H NMR analyses revealed differences in structural characteristics. The Ara/Xyl ratio and the amount of Xylp residues disubstituted increased with ethanol concentration. Ferulic acid content was higher in fractions precipitated at low ethanol percentage. Fractions were refractionated by SEC, leading to 46 subfractions with low polydispersity index. Substitution degree was apparently linearly related to the amount of disubstituted Xylp. Macromolecular characteristics (M(w), [eta], R(G), q, nu) determined by multiangle laser light scattering and viscosimetry were similar among all fractions. A rather flexible conformation was determined for the arabinoxylans, in conflict with the admitted rodlike conformation. The substitution degree had no influence on the conformation or on the rigidity of the polymers. Evidence for the presence of ferulic acid dimers in the water-soluble arabinoxylans is provided, which probably explains the unexpected conformation and macromolecular characteristics.  相似文献

The water extractable (WE) arabinoxylans from two rye flours differing in baking quality were studied following sequential extraction with water at 4, 40, and 100 degrees C. Ammonium sulfate fractionation of the resulting WE fractions and subsequent analysis revealed substantial differences in the structure of the isolated materials. Furthermore, it allowed us to identify the factors contributing to arabinoxylan water extractability. Our results provide compelling evidence for the existence of separate polymers in rye WE arabinoxylans with different substitution degrees, ranging from quantitatively dominating, lowly substituted populations (arabinose to xylose ratio, Ara/Xyl approximately 0.5) to comparatively less abundant, highly substituted analogues (Ara/Xyl approximately 1.3). Generally, arabinoxylan water extractability was governed by the relative proportion of lowly and highly branched structures. A gradually increasing proportion of highly substituted populations was observed from cold to hot WE fractions. This was associated with the lower proportion of monosubstituted xylopyranosyl residues in the backbone, the higher proportion of disubstituted xylopyranosyl residues, and the higher level of substitution with feruloyl residues. Notable differences in the ratio of phenolic compounds to arabinose residues were observed between corresponding polymers isolated from rye flours of high and low baking quality, whereas the differences in their molecular weights were much less pronounced.  相似文献

Arabinoxylans are a minor but important constituent in wheat that affects bread quality, foam stability, batter viscosity, and sugar snap cookie diameter. Therefore, it is important to determine the distribution of arabinoxylans in flour mill streams to better formulate flour blends. Thirty‐one genetically pure grain lots representing six wheat classifications common to the western U.S. were milled on a Miag Multomat pilot mill, and 10 flour mill streams were collected from each. A two‐way ANOVA indicated that mill streams were a greater source of variation compared to grain lots for total arabinoxylans (TAX), water‐unextractable arabinoxylans (WUAX), and water‐extractable arabinoxylans (WEAX). TAX and WUAX were highly correlated with ash at r = 0.94 and r = 0.94, respectively; while the correlation for WEAX and ash decreased in magnitude at r = 0.60. However, the 5th middlings mill streams exhibited disparity between TAX and ash content as well as between WUAX and ash content. This may indicate that TAX and WUAX in mill streams are not always the result of bran contamination. Cumulative extraction curves for TAX, WUAX and WEAX revealed increasing gradients of arabinoxylans parallel to extraction rate. Therefore, arabinoxylans may be an indicator of flour refinement.  相似文献

Within the HEALTHGRAIN diversity screening program, the variation in the content of dietary fiber and components thereof in different types of wheat was studied. The wheat types were winter (131 varieties) and spring (20 varieties) wheats (both Triticum aestivum L., also referred to as common wheats), durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf., 10 varieties), spelt wheat (Triticum spelta L., 5 varieties), einkorn wheat (T. monococcum L., 5 varieties), and emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum Schubler, 5 varieties). Common wheats contained, on average, the highest level of dietary fiber [11.5-18.3% of dry matter (dm)], whereas einkorn and emmer wheats contained the lowest level (7.2-12.8% of dm). Intermediate levels were measured in durum and spelt wheats (10.7-15.5% of dm). Also, on the basis of the arabinoxylan levels in bran, the different wheat types could be divided this way, with ranges of 12.7-22.1% of dm for common wheats, 6.1-14.4% of dm for einkorn and emmer wheats, and 10.9-13.9% of dm for durum and spelt wheats. On average, bran arabinoxylan made up ca. 29% of the total dietary fiber content of wheat. In contrast to what was the case for bran, the arabinoxylan levels in flour were comparable between the different types of wheat. For wheat, in general, they varied between 1.35 and 2.75% of dm. Einkorn, emmer, and durum wheats contained about half the level of mixed-linkage beta-glucan (0.25-0.45% of dm) present in winter, spring, and spelt wheats (0.50-0.95% of dm). All wheat types had Klason lignin, the levels of which varied from 1.40 to 3.25% of dm. The arabinoxylan contents in bran and the dietary fiber contents in wholemeal were inversely and positively related with bran yield, respectively. Aqueous wholemeal extract viscosity, a measure for the level of soluble dietary fiber, was determined to large extent by the level of water-extractable arabinoxylan. In conclusion, the present study revealed substantial variation in the contents of dietary fiber and constituents thereof between different wheat types and varieties.  相似文献

Recent studies have indicated that some structural features of arabinoxylans, the major cell wall polysaccharides, might be potential quality markers in the selection of rye breeding materials. To specify the most appropriate characteristics, the differences in the structure of cell wall components were studied in two ryes with high and low breadmaking qualities. Two cell wall fractions were isolated from the outer layers of the grain (pooled shorts and bran fractions) by a consecutive water extraction with alpha-amylase (WE-A) and proteinase K (WE-P). Polysaccharides predominated in the WE-A fraction (approximately 64%, mainly arabinoxylans). By contrast, the WE-P fraction contained mostly protein (approximately 63%), and its level of polysaccharides was relatively low (approximately 18%). The 1H NMR and sugar analysis of the ammonium sulfate precipitated subfractions revealed that the WE-A was built of four arabinoxylan populations with marked structural differences (arabinose-to-xylose ratios, Ara/Xyl, of approximately 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.2). Instead, the arabinoxylans present in the WE-P were generally enriched in disubstituted xylopyranosyl residues. The ratio of phenolic components to arabinose residues in the WE-P fraction (indicated by 1H NMR) and the proportion of polymers with the highest molecular weights in the WE-A fraction (revealed by HPSEC) distinguished well two ryes with diverse breadmaking qualities. Much less obvious differences between both ryes were observed in the ratio of amide I to amide II band intensities of FTIR spectra for the WE-P and in the level of phenolic acids and ferulic acid dehydrodimers for both cell wall preparations.  相似文献

The alkali extractable (AE) arabinoxylans from two rye flours differing in baking quality were studied following sequential extraction of water-unextractable and starch-free rye flour residue with saturated barium hydroxide solution, water and 1 M sodium hydroxide solution (Ba, BaH, and Na, respectively), and further fractionation of isolated fractions by ammonium sulfate precipitation. (1)H NMR and sugar analyses of AE subfractions provided evidence for the presence of lowly branched arabinoxylans (average arabinose-to-xylose ratio, Ara/Xyl approximately 0.5), containing mainly un- and monosubstituted xylopyranosyl residues (Xylp) in the chain. The proportion of this subfraction decreased from 50% in the Ba fraction to 35 and 17% in the Na and BaH fractions, respectively. Other subfractions, rich in both mono- and disubstituted Xylp, represented arabinoxylan populations with intermediate (Ara/Xyl approximately 0.8) and high substitution degree (Ara/Xyl approximately 1.1). The Ba and Na fractions contained phenolic compounds, whereas they were absent in the BaH fraction. The higher ratio of such phenolic compounds to arabinose (PhC/Ara) found in AE arabinoxylans from rye flour of inferior baking quality was one of the most pronounced differences between arabinoxylan populations from rye flours with high and low baking quality. The arabinoxylans from rye flour of high baking quality present in Ba and Na fractions had slightly higher apparent molecular weights (MWs) when compared to those from rye flour with low baking quality. The arabinoxylans present in the BaH fractions, characterized by the highest MWs, had similar MWs.  相似文献

The impacts of the arabinose to xylose (A/X) ratio of arabinoxylans (AX) and the endoxylanase substrate specificity on the enzymic degradability of hull-less barley flour AX by endoxylanases were studied by using alkali-solubilized AX (AS-AX) fractions with different A/X ratio, on the one hand, and glycoside hydrolase family 10 and 11 endoxylanases of Aspergillus aculeatus (XAA) and Bacillus subtilis (XBS), respectively, on the other hand. AS-AX were obtained by saturated barium hydroxide treatment of hull-less barley flour water-unextractable AX. Fractionation of AS-AX by stepwise ethanol precipitation resulted in structurally different hull-less barley flour AS-AX fractions. Their A/X ratios increased with increasing ethanol concentration, and this increase in A/X ratio was reflected in their xylose substitution levels. For both XAA and XBS, the enzymic degradability of AX and apparent specific endoxylanase activity decreased with increasing A/X ratio of the AS-AX substrates, implying that both endoxylanases were sterically hindered by arabinose substituents. However, for all AS-AX fractions, hydrolysis end products of lower average degree of polymerization were obtained after incubation with XAA than with XBS, indicating that the former enzyme has a lower substrate specificity toward hull-less barley flour AS-AX than the latter. In addition, apparent specific endoxylanase activities indicated that XBS was approximately 2 times more sensitive to variations in the A/X ratio of AS-AX fractions than XAA. Furthermore, AS-AX with higher A/X ratio were relatively resistant to degradation by XBS.  相似文献

Structures of arabinoxylans (AX) from bajra, from a variety known to have characteristic quality in the making of roti, an unleavened flat bread, were elucidated by a combination of methylation analysis, (13)C NMR, FT-IR, etc. Arabinoxylans isolated from barium hydroxide-extracted polysaccharides and hemicellulose B had a backbone of xylose residues with beta-(1,4) linkages and were branched mainly through alpha-(1,3) linkages by arabinofuranosyl residues. Completely branched xylose residues were also present. The AX from bajra characteristically had large numbers of branches, and this may be one of the reasons for the crispiness of the rotis.  相似文献

Phosphorus (P) is present in different chemical compounds in animal feeds, and the solubility and digestibility of these different compounds are known to differ significantly. Animal protein ingredients generally have a high P content and are major contributors to total P of feeds for fish and other domestic animals. Estimation of different P compounds in these ingredients could help to improve the accuracy of estimates of digestible P contents of feeds. Bone P and organic P contents were quantified in 32 animal protein ingredients, including 10 fish meals, 14 meat and bone meals, and 8 poultry byproducts meals, using a fractionation protocol. The total P contents of the ingredients ranged from 2.1 to 8.3% on a dry matter (DM) basis. Organic P contents varied between 0.3 and 1.3% of DM. Highly significant (p < 0.001) linear relationships were observed between total P and ash and between bone P and ash for all ingredients combined: total P (%) = 0.185 x ash (%) (R (2) = 0.88), and bone P (%) = 0.188 x ash (%) - 0.852 (R (2) = 0.94). These results suggest that bone P can be easily and reliably estimated on the basis of ash content in animal protein ingredients.  相似文献

In this paper, arabinoxylans from wheat were isolated, purified, and degraded into four fractions with different molecular weight. The distribution of particle size was employed to evaluate the membrane plugging by beer. These arabinoxylans fractions were added into arabinoxylan-free beer to investigate the effects of molecular weight and concentration on the distribution of particle size in beer. Results showed that the fraction of arabinoxylans retained by a 0.22-mum pore size membrane was more easily affected by shearing and arabinoxylan concentration than the fraction of arabinoxylans retained by a 0.45-mum membrane. The effects of shearing, pH, and ethanol concentration of beer on the particle size distribution of the highest molecular weight arabinoxylan fraction in beer were also examined. General linear models (GLM) equations indicated that there was a positive correlation between the particle size distributions of arabinoxylans and shearing and ethanol content, while high molecular weight arabinoxylans particle size retained by the 0.45-mum membrane was not significantly (p > 0.05) influenced by pH value. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos showed that membrane plugging was significantly affected by the molecular weight of the arabinoxylans.  相似文献

Looking for potential quality indicators, which could be used in early selection of breeding materials, the structural features of cell wall arabinoxylans (AX) from outer layers of the grain (pooled shorts and bran fractions) were studied in two ryes with diverse breadmaking quality. The successive alkaline extraction of water-unextractable material with saturated Ba(OH)2, followed by water and 1 and 4 M NaOH, resulted in four purified fractions, Ba, BaH, 1Na, and 4Na, respectively, that became water soluble after their isolation. The AX present in these fractions constituted approximately 43, 12, 14, and 4% of their total amount recovered. Moreover, two xylan-enriched fractions, 1Na.P and 4Na.P (arabinose-to-xylose ratios, Ara/Xyl, of 0.07 and 0.19, respectively), were self-precipitated from both NaOH-extractable fractions. Polysaccharides of these fractions, containing mainly xylose, represented approximately 16 and 1% of AX recovered. In the BaH and 1Na, AX coexisted with beta-glucans, which predominated in the former protein-free fraction. On the contrary, hemicelluloses in the 1Na fraction were associated with protein as well. Further fractionation of the water-soluble materials by ammonium sulfate revealed that the parent AX populations in the Ba, BaH, and 1Na were composed of 3-4 subfractions with different degrees of substitution (Ara/Xyl of approximately 0.4, 0.8, and 1.1), whereas 4Na was almost totally built of highly substituted AX (Ara/Xyl of 1.1). Despite a comparable proportion of un-, mono-, and disubstituted xylopyranosyl residues in the chain of Ba(OH)2-extractable AX isolated from both ryes, the 1H NMR and Fourier transform infrared demonstrated the marked differences in their spectral profiles, suggesting different substitution patterns of these dominating polysaccharides. The high molecular weight population present in the Ba fraction also differentiated well two ryes with opposite breadmaking quality.  相似文献

Fractions rich in indigestible carbohydrates, such as fructan and arabinoxylan, are obtained as by‐products when ethanol, starch, and gluten are produced from wheat flour. Today, these fractions are used as animal feed. However, these components may have positive physiological effects in humans. In this study, the content of indigestible carbohydrates in distillers' grains and process streams from the wet fractionation of wheat flour was determined. The fractions were further characterized by ethanol extractability analysis, anion‐exchange chromatography, NMR, and size‐exclusion chromatography. One fraction from wet fractionation contained (g/100 g, db) 6.0 ± 1.0 fructan and 10.3 ± 1.1 dietary fiber (66 ± 4% arabinoxylan), while distillers' grains contained 20.7 g/100 g (db) dietary fiber (30% arabinoxylan). In addition to indigestible carbohydrates from wheat, distillers' grains contained β‐(1→3) and β‐(1→6) glucans and mannoproteins from the yeast and low molecular weight carbohydrates mainly composed of arabinose. The use of endoxylanase in wet fractionation decreased the molecular weight of the arabinoxylans and increased the arabinose to xylose ratio but had no effect on the fructans. In conclusion, waste streams from industrial wheat processing were enriched in fructan, arabinoxylan, and other indigestible carbohydrates. However, the physiological effects of these fractions require further investigation.  相似文献
