TY - T1 - Gelation of cereal β-glucan at physiological conditions SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-201901231143; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/298312 T3 - A1 - Chen, Yike Jr A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Cereal β-glucan, or (1→3)(1→4)-β-D-glucan, has unique viscous and gelling properties, which are related to its physiological effects. The increased viscosity in human gastrointestinal tract by β-glucan is considered a key factor for its health benefits. However, the possible gelling ability of β-glucan in human intestine and its relation to the physiological functionality have not been investigated. The aims of this study were to investigate the possible structure formation of β-glucan at physio...
