Workpackage 7. Analysis for -glucan and dietary fibre AVEQ First Meeting – Clermont Ferrand, September 19-21, 2007
Workpackage 7. Analysis for -glucan and dietary fibre • Characterise carbohydrates (starch, dietary fibre, -glucan ) in genetic resources of Avena. • Evaluate -glucan content in a number of European oat genotypes (wild Avena species, landraces, traditional and obsolete and modern cultivars), when grown under contrasting growing conditions all over Europe from the Nordic countries to South (Italy) and South East (Bulgaria, Romania). AVEQ First Meeting – Clermont Ferrand, September 19-21, 2007
Workpackage 7. Analysis for -glucan and dietary fibre • Describe the distribution of -glucan contents in relation to the structure of the collection. • Describe correlations of -glucan content with other traits relevant from a qualitative and agronomic point of view, especially those related to Fusarium infection, mycotoxin formation and cold tolerance in the working collection.

-GLUCAN:LOCATION ETC • Mixed-linked (1-3),(1-4)--D-glucans are frequently present • in endosperm cell walls of cereals. • - High contents of -glucan have been reported for barley • (2-10%) and oats (2-6%). • - Both genetic and environmentalfactors affect the total • content of -glucan. • - Both soluble and insoluble -glucans are present in cereals; • in oats the soluble fraction is larger, up to 80% of total - • glucan. AVEQ First Meeting – Clermont Ferrand, September 19-21, 2007
PHYSIOLOGICAL ROLE OF -GLUCAN It can lower the cholesterol levels in blood. It has effects on the glucose metabolism, by reducing the post-prandial increase of glucose. In 1997 the Food and Drug Administration established an “health claim” which states that a 3 g daily intake of oat soluble fibre (-glucan) can reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases. This claim was then confirmed in 2002. AVEQ First Meeting – Clermont Ferrand, September 19-21, 2007

STARCH: CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AVEQ First Meeting – Clermont Ferrand, September 19-21, 2007
- Oat starch content ranges from 40 to 60%. - Significant genotypic and environmental effects were observed on the content of total starch. - It cannot be easily separated from the other components of the grain. - Oat starch is associated to a larger lipid content (1-3%) than the starch of other cereals. - The average size of individual oat starch granules varies from 3 to 10 μm.

DIETARY FIBRE (AACC 2000) Dietary fibre is the edible part of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine with complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine. Dietary fibre includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, lignin and associated plant substances. Dietary fibres promote beneficial physiological effects including laxation, and/or blood cholesterol attenuation, and/or blood glucose attenuation.
