Inspired by the need for green and sustainable chemistry,(1) synthetic chemists seek more
efficient ways to construct carbon− carbon (C− C) bonds, the essential link in all organic …

Lignins are complex natural polymers resulting from oxidative coupling of, primarily, 4-
hydroxyphenylpropanoids. An understanding of their nature is evolving as a result of …

Epidemiological studies associate whole grain consumption with a reduced risk of many
diseases. This paper focuses on the antioxidant component of cereal dietary fibre starting …

Arabinoxylans (AX) are the major polymers of wheat grain cell walls. The content and the
structure of AX polymers show large differences between tissues and between wheat …

In the cell walls of forage grasses, ferulic acid is esterified to arabinoxylans and participates
with lignin monomers in oxidative coupling pathways to generate ferulate–polysaccharide …

The objective of the present work was to improve the antioxidant activity and water solubility
of chitosan by grafting with ferulic acid through a carbodiimide-mediated coupling reaction …

Hand dissection of mature grains from two common wheats (Triticum aestivum L., cv.
Caphorn and cv. Crousty) were performed to quantitatively assess their tissue composition …

Abstract The ubiquitous compound 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxycinnamic acid, also known as
ferulic acid (FA), constitutes a bioactive ingredient of many foods that may offer beneficial …

Phenolic compounds in foods have been widely studied due to their health benefits. In
cereals, phenolic compounds are extensively linked to cell wall polysaccharides, mainly …

Original lignin and hemicelluloses were sequentially extracted with high yield/purity, using
acidic dioxane/water solution and dimethyl sulfoxide, from ball-milled wheat straw. The …
