Oats are steadily but surely gaining over the breakfast market and each day a great number of people make the switch in search of the perfect breakfast. No doubt, all those cereal commercials hailing oats have a major hand in making people switch to oats too, but if it weren't for its mammoth-like health benefits, oats would never have had a chance to remain in the market. But before diving straight into the specifics and health benefits of oats it would better to give a basic overview of oats and explain how they became one of the greatest grains on the planet. The infamous oat, known in the scientific world as Avena Sativa, is a grain obtained from a cereal plan, grown for its seeds. The seeds interestingly are also known as oats and are the part of the plant that is mainly consumed; like many other grains, oats grow on stalks with their kernels distributed along a partial tree-like structure. After being harvested, the grains have their tough hulls removed before they can be made available into the market, either as whole or in milled formed. When it comes to cultivation, oats are one of those plants that are able to withstand poor growing conditions; this is one of the reasons they were cultivated in Europe. Still, the best climate for growing oats is considered to be temperate. Their lower heat requirement during the summers and significant tolerance to wet weather makes them more compatible to variable regions than grains like wheat, barley and rye. On top of this, oats are an annual crop, meaning they can be planted in the autumn for a late summer harvest or during the spring for an early autumn harvest. The resilience & compatibility of oats can be judged by the fact that out of the total world oat produce for 2013, i.e. 21 million tons, Russia and Canada took the top spots with approximately 4 million and 3 million tons of oats respectively. The modern oats are descendants of the wild ret oat, a plant that originated from within Asia. Oats have been in cultivation in various regions of the world for over 2000 years. Before oats were consumed as a food item, they were being used for their medicinal properties, a use which is now again gaining momentum. The cultivation of oats in Europe is widespread and historically, oat was an important commercial crop for the people of Scotland, Germany, Great Britain and Scandinavian countries.

Oats have multiple benefits by Radwan aboBakr Ahmed Pdf

Benefits of oats: Learn about them through this book Are you a fan of oats? Do you want to know what benefits oats provide to your body? So continue reading this book to learn about the full benefits of oats. Let us learn in the following about the benefits of oats and many important information about it: Benefits of oats The health and nutritional benefits of oats lie in the fact that they contain complete dietary fiber and many necessary and important vitamins and minerals. One cup of oats contains approximately 26 micrograms of folic acid and more than 10 grams of protein. The most prominent benefits of oats are as follows: 1. Promoting heart and arterial health One of the most prominent benefits of oats is that it enhances the health of the heart and arteries, because oats contain: Soluble dietary fiber These fibers prevent the absorption of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is known as bad cholesterol. This enhances the health of the heart, arteries, and blood vessels and reduces the risk of high blood pressure. Antioxidant Avenanthramides The antioxidant avanthramide prevents the production of harmful molecules, which stick to the walls of the arteries and are deposited on them and may be the cause of their narrowing and thus lead to hardening and clotting of the arteries. With the presence of this antioxidant, they are fought and thus preventing atherosclerosis. 2. Preventing weight gain Oats are considered a good whole grain in preventing weight gain, due to their composition, as they contain: Low in calories: one serving of it gives approximately 80 calories. A high percentage of dietary fiber: which increases the feeling of fullness for a longer period, which reduces food intake and thus reduces the percentage of calories entering the body. A good percentage of protein: Protein also supports increasing the feeling of fullness for a long time and thus reducing the amount of food eaten later. 3. Diabetes prevention One of the benefits of oats is to maintain and control blood sugar levels, for several reasons, including: It contains a large amount of complex carbohydrates and beneficial dietary fiber, as this helps slow the absorption of sugar in the intestine and regulate its level in the blood, thus playing an important role in preventing type 2 diabetes. It contains magnesium, which helps regulate insulin and glucose levels in the body. 4. Strengthening immunity Oats can strengthen the immune system, as they contain a type of fiber known as beta gluten, which helps strengthen immunity and fight infections. 5. Contributing to the prevention of cancer It was previously mentioned that oats contain an antioxidant called avanthramide, which works to fight free radicals that may cause some infections and cancers.

Cereal Grain-based Functional Foods by Trust Beta,Mary Ellen Camire Pdf

Globally, cereal grains are a staple part of the diet providing primarily carbohydrates and other phytochemical components. Detailed coverage of the composition and functionality of the bulk carbohydrate components, specifically starch, beta-glucans, and arabinoxylans, and the trace phytochemical components, i.e. phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids, anthocyanins, deoxyanthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins in cereal grains and grain products is provided. Considerable attention is paid to the interactions between carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate components in grains including starch–protein and starch–lipid interactions and their effects on starch digestibility. The phenolic constituents bound to grain dietary fiber also receive detailed consideration and the final chapter presents a review that discusses whole grain–gut microbiota interactions identifying new areas of research that may contribute to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms linked to human health. This book provides researchers, clinicians and students with a comprehensive compendium on aspects of whole grain components and brings the literature up to date.
