“…It has been repeatedly demonstrated that reducing the viscosity of DF following acid hydrolysis results in concurrent loss of its clinical efficacy ( Riccardi et al., 2004 ). Several types of soluble fibre, including β-glucan, psyllium and guar gum, reduce postprandial glucose and insulin responses, and improve insulin sensitivity both in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals ( De Natale et al., 2012 ; Riccardi et al., 2005 ).…”

Starch and cell wall polysaccharides (dietary fibre) of cereal grains contribute to the health benefits associated with the consumption of whole grain cereal products, including reduced risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer. The physiological bases for these effects are reviewed in relation to the structures and physical properties of the polysaccharides and their behaviour (including digestion and fermentation) in the gastro-intestinal tract. Strategies for modifying the content and composition of grain polysaccharides to increase their health benefits are discussed, including exploiting natural variation and using mutagenesis and transgenesis to generate further variation. These studies will facilitate the development of new types of cereals and cereal products to face the major health challenges of the 21st century.

“…Glucans are the major structural components of the cell wall of fungi, grass and some bacteria [20]. Among the glucans, beta-glucans (BG) have been highlighted as prebiotics used as modulators both of the immune response [21], as well as lipid and carbohydrate metabolism [5].…”

“…Among the main classes of prebiotics are galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS), insulin and beta-glucans (BG) [4]. BG's have been widely investigated due to their immunomodulatory activity [4], as well as to the activity on the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids [5]. In this sense, we aimed to present the functional effects of BGs on the immune response and metabolism.…”

Functional foods have been used due to benefits promoted for patient's health. There are several types of functional foods. Thus, the prebiotics being a class used because of the health effects promoted on gastrointestinal tract. Among the prebiotic, beta-glucans (BG's) is highlighted due to the activity in modulation of host immune response. However, besides to modulating the immune response, BG's may exert effects on metabolic parameters such as glycaemia and cholesterolemia. Such effects occur due to the formation of a gelatinous layer in the intestine, which impairs the absorption of glucose and lipids. Thus, many studies have investigated the effects of BG consumption in patients with diabetes mellitus or hypercholesterolemia. According to literature, the use of these prebiotics in glycemic and lipid metabolism control was shown to be effective mainly in diabetic patients. Such results show that beyond to the known immunomodulatory effects of BG's, exist a metabolic effect that is beneficial in prevention and may be adjuvant in the treatment of metabolic diseases.
