Fermentation of dietary fibre in the intestinal tract of rats - a comparison of flours with different extraction rates from six cereals
The fermentation of dietary fibre in wheat, rye, barley, sorghum, rice and maize was investigated in balance experiments with rats. Two different extraction rates, 100% and approximately 65%, were investigated for each cereal grain. In the case of maize, whole maize, and dehulled maize that had been ground and sieved so that it contained mainly endosperm, were investigated. Except for sorghum, die
