Wheat bran as a brown gold: Nutritious value and its biotechnological applications

Abstract: Wheat bran, a by-product of wheat milling industry, is the outermost covering of wheat grain. It has relatively diverse application in food, feed, medicine and fermentation industries due to its richness in carbohydrates (mostly fibers), protein and fats which makes it an important dietary element. Its importance from medical view point is well documented especially in reducing blood plasma cholesterol and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers, that is, colon cancer. In fermentation industr… Show more

“…In 2017, the global production of wheat was 751.99 million metric tons however it was increased by 8 million tons in 2018 with the total estimated production of 758.02 million metric tons. A similar trend was observed in 2019 where wheat production was 765.76 million metric tons however the global consumption of wheat assessed by World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), was 791.1 million tons for the year 2021 [9]. It has been projected that the wheat demand in developing countries will be increased up to 60% by 2050 which is a stern concern related to food security [10].…”

“…The outer bran layer, the pericarp, is composed of mainly insoluble dietary fibers and lignin. Lignin is also present in the seed coat (testa and hyaline) which also contains the antioxidizing alkylresorcinols, while the aleurone layer (the inner layer next to the starchy endosperm) contains a mixture of proteins, fibers, lipids, and minerals (Javed et al, 2012;Onipe et al, 2015). Due to the large quantities of bran produced, this material has potential for production of higher value products (Sozer et al, 2017).…”

“…WB is composed of about 53% dietary fiber (xylans, lignin, cellulose, and galactan, fructans) and bioactive compounds, such as alkylresorcinols, ferulic acid, flavonoids, carotenoids, lignans and sterols (APPRICH et al, 2013;AnDERSSOn et al, 2014;DE BRIER et al, 2014). Also, WB contains a rich stock of lignans and proteins, with balanced amino acid content, bioactive compounds, phytic acid, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals (JAvED et al, 2012). nowadays in Egypt, CSM has been found to be a locally cheaper feed ingredient than WB.…”
