Effect of roasting treatment on the micromorphology, gelatinization, structure, and digestibility of whole oat flour

Yujuan Gu, Xiaojie Qian, Binghua Sun, Xiaoling Tian, Xiaoxi Wang, Sen Ma

Summary: Roasting treatment of oat kernels affects the characteristics of oat flour, including the disruption of oat kernel structure, increased lipid release, and aggregation and wrapping of oat flour particles. Although starch and protein contents did not significantly change, lipid content increased and beta-glucan content decreased after roasting treatment. Roasted oat flour exhibited better water absorption, swelling power, solubility, lower pasting viscosity, higher gel strength, and lower short-range order. The results suggest the potential application of roasting technology in modifying whole oats.

Effect of heat treatment on conformation and aggregation properties of wheat bran dietary fiber-gluten protein

Qingdan Bao, Jingyao Yan, Sen Ma

Summary: This study investigates the impact of heat treatment on the conformation and aggregation properties of gluten protein in the presence of wheat bran dietary fiber (WBDF). The results show that WBDF contributes to the rearrangement of intermolecular interactions and induces depolymerization behavior of gluten through disulfide and non-covalent bonds at low temperatures, but promotes these interactions via disulfide bonds at high temperatures. The study provides a better understanding of the cross-linking mechanisms between WBDF and gluten during heating and offers a theoretical basis for improving the quality of wheat-based products.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
