Although fructans play a crucial role in wheat kernel development, their metabolism during
kernel maturation is far from being understood. In this study, all major fructan-metabolizing …

We investigated wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain quality under Free Air CO2 Enrichment
(FACE) of 550±10% CO2 μmol mol− 1. In each of two full growing seasons (2008 and 2009) …

FODMAPs are fermentable oligo-, di, and monosaccharides and polyols, which can have
adverse effects on human health. Especially in individuals with gastrointestinal disorders …

To evaluate the effect of genotype, year and location on 1000 kernel weight, falling number,
alpha-and beta-amylase activity, pasting properties, β-glucan, fructan, total starch, amylose …

In cereal grain, sucrose is converted into storage carbohydrates: mainly starch, fructan, and
mixed-linkage (1, 3; 1, 4)-β-glucan (MLG). Previously, endosperm-specific overexpression of …

We profiled the grain oligosaccharide content of 154 two-row spring barley genotypes and
quantified 27 compounds, mainly inulin-and neoseries-type fructans, showing differential …

Fructans and arabinoxylans (AXs) are prebiotics naturally occurring in cereal grains which
have well-known beneficial effects on human health. However, the majority of grains …

BACKGROUND: Dietary fibre lowers the risk of coronary heart disease and colorectal
cancer. This survey quantifies mixed link β‐glucan (MBG) and arabinoxylan (AX) in wheat …

In human diet, pulses are an excellent source of carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fibers,
vitamins, minerals and otherbioactive compounds. However, the presence of high …

Fructans are important in the survival of plants and also valuable for humans as potentially
health promoting food ingredients. In this study fructan content and composition were …
