Abstract:
Whole grains positively influence the maintenance of a healthy weight, normalization of blood sugar levels, and reduction of diabetes risk. However, they are rich in dietary fibers (DF) such as arabinoxylan and β-glucan, which make starch gelatinization (SG) difficult. To investigate the impact of cereal DF structure on SG, this review systematically examines the structure, extraction methods, and characterization techniques of various cereal DF. Furthermore, it emphasizes the effects of cereal DF structure on moisture distribution among starch molecules, interactions with amylose and amylopectin, the protein network structure, and lipid-starch complexes, all of which influence SG in whole grains. This article aims to provide insights for future research on the relationship between cereal DF structure and SG.
