  7. 10. Health Effects of Foods Enriched with Cereal beta-Glucans from Cereals

    Author : Maria Biörklund; Kemiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Näringslära; Nutrition; glucose; cholesterol; oats; barley;

    Abstract : Since soluble fibre in the form of the cereal beta-glucans found in oats and barley has been shown to have a positive effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, people at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes might benefit from that a variety of palatable food products containing beta-glucans being available to them. The aim of the papers presented in the thesis was to evaluate the metabolic effects on persons with hypercholesterolemia or type 2 diabetes of various new food prototypes supplemented by beta-glucans.
