Abstract:
1. A fast, effective, and economical process of obtaining high contents of bound-phenolic acid rich dietary fibre from cereal malts in time duration ranging between 36–48 hours by step-wise increase in temperature by about 8–12° C. for every 10–14 hours of incubation, thereby activating in situ amylases, with net temperature during incubation ranging between 43–77° C., said process comprising steps of: a. adding about 7–15 gm % (w/v) of cereal malt in about 40–60 mM of acetate buffer of pH ranging between 4.8–5.2 to obtain malt solution, b. incubating malt solution at about 45° C. for about 10–14 hours, c. incubating malt solution of step (b) further at about 55° C. for another about 10–14 hours, d. incubating malt solution of step (c) further at about 65° C. for another about 10–14 hours, e. incubating malt solution of step (d) further at about 75° C. for another about 10–14 hours to obtain a residue, f. centrifuging said residue at about 4500–5500 rpm for time duration ranging between 1–30 minutes, g. washing the centrifuged residue with water, h. drying the washed residue with ethanol, and i. obtaining bound-phenolic acid rich dietary fibres.
