The paper analyzes the literature on the therapeutic and prophylactic effects of components of secondary products of processing of rye and wheat – dietary fiber and phenolic compounds – on human health. A special role is played by soluble arabinoxylans and xylooligosaccharides associated with ferulic acid, which have prebiotic, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. Experimental and epidemiological studies have shown that the inclusion of cereal bran in the diet has a positive effect on human health and helps to reduce the risk of diseases associated with the Western type of diet – atherosclerosis, second type diabetes, and various types of oncology.
