Abstract
Effects of ultrafine grinding on the nutritional profile, physicochemical properties, and antioxidant activities of whole-grain highland barley (HB) including white highland barley (WHB) and black highland barley (BHB) were studied. Whole-grain HB was regularly ground and sieved through 80 mesh get 80 M powder, and HB was ultrafine grounded and sieved through 80 mesh, 150 mesh, and 200 mesh get 80UMM, 150UMM, and 200UMM samples. Particle size of WHB and BHB reduced significantly after ultrafine grinding. As the particle size decreased, moisture content of WHB and BHB decreased significantly, whereas fat content increased significantly. Redistribution of fiber components in WHB and BHB from insoluble to soluble fractions was also observed. Wherein, content of soluble pentosan of WHB and BHB increased significantly from 0.56% and 0.78% (80 M) to 0.91% and 1.14% (200UMM), respectively. Damaged starch of WHB and BHB increased significantly from 8.16% and 8.21% (80 M) to 10.29% and 10.07% (200UMM), respectively. Content of phenolic acid and flavonoid of WHB and BHB and associated antioxidant capacity were increased after ultrafine grinding. Color of L* value increased significantly, a* and b* values decreased significantly, indicating the whiteness of WHB and BHB was increased after ultrafine grinding. Pasting temperature of WHB and BHB decreased, whereas peak viscosity increased. X-ray diffraction patterns of HB showed typical A- and V-style polymorphs and the relative crystallinity of HB decreased as the particle size decreased. Taken together, ultrafine grinding has shown great potential in improving the nutritional, physiochemical, and antioxidant properties of whole-grain HB. Our research findings could help better understand the ultrafine grinded whole grain HB in food industry.

Abstract
Selenium bioavailability is critically influenced by gut microbiota, yet the interaction dynamics with selenocompounds remain unexplored. Our study found that L-Selenomethionine (SeMet) and Se-(Methyl)seleno-L-cysteine (MeSeCys) maintained stability during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. In contrast, Selenite and L-Selenocystine (SeCys2) were degraded by approximately 13% and 35%. Intriguingly, gut microflora transformed MeSeCys, SeCys2, and Selenite into SeMet. Moreover, when SeCys2 and Selenite incubated with gut microbiota, they produced red selenium nanoparticles with diameters ranging between 100 and 400 nm and boosted glutathione peroxidase activity. These changes were positively associated with an increased relative abundance of unclassified_g__Blautia (Family Lachnospiraceae), Erysipelotrichaceae_UCG-003 (Family Erysipelatoclostridiaceae), and uncultured_bacterium_g__Subdoligranulum (Family Ruminococcaceae). Our findings implied that differential microbial sensitivities to selenocompounds, potentially attributable to their distinct mechanisms governing selenium uptake, storage, utilization, and excretion.

Cross-linked modifications of starches from colored highland barley and their characterizations, digestibility, and lipolysis inhibitory abilities in vitro. Food Res Int 2023; 174:113493. [PMID: 37986410 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
To promote the stability and functionality of native starch from colored highland barley (CHBS), the cross-linked modifications with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP)/sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and citric acid were conducted to prepare CHB resistant starches (CHRSs), whose physicochemical characteristics, digestibility, and lipolysis inhibitory potential were also assessed. Results showed that the resistant starch amounts in CHBS were significantly increased after cross-linking and differed slightly among CHRSs. Citric acid modification of CHBS resulted in significantly higher amylose amounts, solubilities, swelling powers, and water-binding capacities than those under STMP/STPP modification within the cultivars (p < 0.05), with their crystalline patterns of A-type (white and blue) and CB-type (black). STMP/STPP modified CHBS exhibited higher degrees of crystalline regions with B-type crystalline patterns. Due to the differences in structural properties and structure-based morphology, STMP/STPP cross-linked CHBS showed lower digestibility and citric acid cross-linked CHBS exhibited higher lipolysis inhibitory activities. Besides, the cross-linked modifications demonstrated more enhancements in functionalities of starches from white and blue cultivars than black cultivar.

The contribution of cell wall integrity to gastric emptying and in vitro starch digestibility and fermentation performance of highland barley foods. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112912.

Abstract
Studies have shown that the structure, composition, and bioavailability of compounds in whole grains are affected by processing and the role of cells walls. In this study, the effects of different processing methods on highland barley, one of the mostly widely produced whole grains worldwide, were investigated. The processing methods applied were flaking-boiling (HB flake), sand-roasting (Puffed HB), and sand-roasting-milling (Tsamba). Results showed Puffed HB and Tsamba had higher levels of damaged starch content, starch short-range molecular order, and relative crystallinity than HB flake. The half-time of gastric emptying (t1/2) was the slowest for Tsamba (132.3 min) compared to HB flake (122.5 min) and Puffed HB (84.0 min), indicating the slowest gastric emptying rate, which could be attributed to its high viscosity of gastric digesta. After in vitro gastroduodenal digestion, Puffed HB exhibited the lowest starch digestibility and the least amount of β-glucan due to its less damaged cellular structure. Furthermore, Puffed HB resulted in a 21% and 18% higher in vitro production of total short-chain fatty acids than Tsamba and HB flake, respectively. Besides, undigested starch of Puffed HB after in vitro gastroduodenal digestion delayed in vitro fecal fermentation of β-glucan. Our study provided insight into the potential mechanisms of how cell wall integrity affected the gastric emptying, in vitro starch digestibility, and in vitro fecal fermentation of highland barley foods.

Abstract
To study the effects of highland barley flour with different particle sizes on dough characteristics and noodle quality, highland barley flours (median particle sizes of 223.25, 143.12, 90.73, 42.33 and 19.26 μm, respectively) were mixed with the wheat flour to make noodles. The damaged starch content of highland barley flour with five particle sizes was 47.0, 61.0, 62.3, 102.0, and 108.0 g/kg, respectively. The reconstituted flour containing highland barley powder with smaller particle sizes showed higher viscosity and water absorption. The smaller the particle size of barley flour, the lower the cooking yield, shear force and pasting enthalpy of the noodles, and the higher the hardness of the noodles. As the particle size of barley flour decreases, the structural density of the noodles increases. This study is expected to provide a constructive reference for the development of barley-wheat composite flour and the production of barley-wheat noodles.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11182921.

Abstract
Colored highland barley (CHB) is featured with its potential health-promoting benefits. CHB is frequently processed through roasting, which changes its volatile smells, color, and composition. The objective of this work was to establish the volatile fingerprints of CHB that had been roasted at different temperatures using E-nose and headspace-gas-chromatography-ion-mobility spectroscopy (HS-GC-IMS). The findings showed that roasting increased the relative contents of pyrazines, aldehydes, and ketones while decreasing the relative contents of alcohols, esters, and sulfides. Pyrazines were identified as the markers for volatile substances of the roasted CHB (RCHB). The outcomes of the principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) demonstrated that the volatiles could easily distinguish between raw CHB and RCHB instead of differentiating between CHB roasted at different temperatures. Additionally, after roasting, the color characteristics and CHB constituents underwent changes, and the effect of roasting temperature on these changes differed depending on the cultivar. Protein, free amino acids, and flavonoids appeared to primarily participate in the variations of volatile substances, and the free fluorescence intermediary compounds might involve changes in color parameters and aromas. These findings improved our knowledge of the volatiles in CHB that were roasted under various conditions.

Chlorella pyrenoidosa Polysaccharides as a Prebiotic to Modulate Gut Microbiota: Physicochemical Properties and Fermentation Characteristics In Vitro. Foods 2022; 11:foods11050725.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the prebiotic potential of Chlorella pyrenoidosa polysaccharides to provide useful information for developing C. pyrenoidosa as a green healthy food. C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides were prepared and their physicochemical characteristics were determined. The digestibility and fermentation characteristics of C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides were evaluated using in vitro models. The results revealed that C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides were composed of five non-starch polysaccharide fractions with monosaccharide compositions of Man, Rib, Rha, GlcA, Glc, Gal, Xyl and Ara. C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides could not be degraded under saliva and the gastrointestinal conditions. However, the molecular weight and contents of residual carbohydrates and reducing sugars of C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides were significantly reduced after fecal fermentation at a moderate speed. Notably, C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides could remarkably modulate gut microbiota, including the promotion of beneficial bacteria, inhibition of growth of harmful bacteria, and reduction of the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. Intriguingly, C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides can promote growth of Parabacteroides distasonis and increase short-chain fatty acid contents, thereby probably contributing to the promotion of intestinal health and prevention of diseases. Thus, these results suggested that C. pyrenoidosa polysaccharides had prebiotic functions with different fermentation characteristics compared with conventional prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharide, and they may be a new prebiotic for improving human health.
