1. Cholesterol-lowering and anti-atherogenic effects of oats in mice
Sammanfattning : The cholesterol-lowering effect of oats is well established, but the crucial properties eliciting this effect need to be further investigated to optimize the use of oats as functional foods. Furthermore, there are almost no reports investigating the effect of oats on atherosclerosis development. LÄS MER
2. Lactic acid bacteria fermentations in oat-based suspensions
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. LÄS MER
3. Health Effects of Foods Enriched with Cereal beta-Glucans from Cereals
Sammanfattning : Since soluble fibre in the form of the cereal beta-glucans found in oats and barley has been shown to have a positive effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, people at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes might benefit from that a variety of palatable food products containing beta-glucans being available to them. The aim of the papers presented in the thesis was to evaluate the metabolic effects on persons with hypercholesterolemia or type 2 diabetes of various new food prototypes supplemented by beta-glucans.

4. Analyzing the properties and biosynthesis of β-glucans from Gluconacetobacter and poplar
Sammanfattning : Glucans are polysaccharides integral to many materials and biological functions. Under the umbrella of Biomime, the Swedish Center for Biomimetic Fiber Engineering, this work has aimed to improve basic understanding of the biosynthesis of such glucans. LÄS MER
5. Cholesterol-lowering properties of oats: Effects of processing and the role of oat components
Sammanfattning : The cholesterol-lowering effect of oats has been studied for almost fifty years. The effect has hitherto essentially been associated with its content of β-glucans, the primary soluble dietary fibre in oats. LÄS MER
