Grains for health - combating metabolic syndrome: results obtained in healthgrain: Abstracts

摘要: Lifestyle factors are recognized as a major determinant for the risk of non-communicable diseases, many which associated with obesity and disturbances in glucose lipid metabolism. Intake cereal dietary fibre whole grain type foods have epidemiological studies been shown to be protective against type-2 diabetes cardiovascular disease. As food generally, reduction is due multiple physiological mechanisms. The EU HEALTHGRAIN project was 2005–2010 large attempt address different research targets relevant increasing intake grains (Poutanen et al., 2008). topics studied ranged from interventions consumer attitudes natural induced variation raw materials, development technologies bring more phytochemicals products. In project, content effects processing various bioactive compounds mainly wheat studied, including lignans, phenolic acids, alkylresorcinols, phytosterols, folates, tocopherols tocotrienols, other vitamins minerals (Ward New milling, fractionation bioprocessing methods were developed deliver these foods, also important their bioavailability (Mateo Anson 2011). Whole fibre-rich appetite regulation, role gastrointestinal fermentation mediating beneficial metabolism further demonstrated (Nilsson 2010). features rye products insulin responses confirmed, potential high-amylose respect glycaemic control shown. betaine one mediators suggested (Price order work on production chain, linked disciplines plant breeding through human nutrition. its dissemination technology transfer element, it academic industrial actors together stakeholders dialogue about importance nutritional quality foods. use this energy source worldwide full assist health maintenance continues Healthgrain Forum.
