Popis: Current research focuses on improving the bioaccessibility of functional components bound to cereal bran cell walls. The main bioactive components in cereal bran that have major biological activities include phenolic acids, biopeptides, dietary fiber, and novel carbohydrates. Because of the bound form in which these bioactive compounds exist in the bran matrix, their bioaccessibility is limited. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the functionality of an integrated technology comprising pretreatment techniques applied to bran substrate followed by fermentation bioprocesses to improve the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of the functional components. The integrated technology of specific physical, chemical, and biological pretreatments coupled with fermentation strategies applied to cereal bran previously-pretreated substrate provide a theoretical basis for the high-value utilization of cereal bran and the development of related functional foods and drugs.
