Project code: MRI-PBE-08-1010 Vollkorn
Contract period: 01.08.2015 - 31.12.2020
Purpose of research: Experimental development

High consumption of whole grain products is associated with a reduced risk for various diseases. Most likely, indigestible carbohydrates (fibres) and secondary plant metabolites play an important role in mediating these effects, since they represent an important fraction of the whole grain. However, the exact mechanisms behind this interaction are still poorly understood. The aim of this research project is the evaluation of white flour, whole grain and selected grain fractions with respect to their potential to alleviate the development of adipositas. A special focus lies on the investigation of the intestinal microbiota and its contribution to metabolites.
