Hydroxycinnamates incorporate into lignins by various mechanisms. The polysaccharide
esters of ferulate, in particular, and the range of dehydrodiferulates and higher oligomers in …

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 …

Cell wall matrices are complex composites mainly of polysaccharides, phenolics (monomers
and polymers), and protein. We are beginning to understand the synthesis of these major …

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 …

Phenolic compounds constitute a large and diverse group of secondary metabolites derived
from phenylalanine and tyrosine and are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom …

The understanding of interactions between proteins, carbohydrates, and phenolic
compounds is becoming increasingly important in food science, as these interactions might …

The forage lignocellulosic complex is one of the greatest limitations to utilization of the
nutrients and energy in fiber. Consequently, several technologies have been developed to …

Plant secondary metabolism constitutes a large reservoir of natural chemical diversity that
encompasses an enormous range of compounds and enzymes, and a wide spectrum of …

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 …

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 …
