Table 3.

Impact of typical processing on the characteristics of cereal β-glucans [65].

Type of Process Effect
Bakery and
Fermented Dough
Large molecular weight reduction
Increased solubility
Gelling
Extrusion Firing Molecular weight reduction only under high temperature conditions
Increased solubility
Freezing Cycles and Thawing Decreased solubility due to aggregation into insoluble complexes
