  • Cereal grains are rich in phenolic compounds that give beneficial effect in human health. Although several research works have been reported on the effects of phytochemicals of plant origin, such as fruits, vegetables, few studies have examined the antioxidative effects of whole cereal grains. The objective of this study was to determine total antioxidant capacity of 80% ethanolic extracts of cereal grains by testing the ability of the extracts to inhibit UV -induced lipid peroxidation in vitro using linoleic acid in comparison to well-known antioxidant such as ascorbic acid and tannic acid. The total phenolic content of the cereal grain (80% ethanolic extracts) investigated in this study varied from 2.1 mg/g (wheat cv. Olgeurumil) to 10.4 mg/g (barely cv. Seodunchalbori). Highly positive relationship between total phenol compounds and antioxidant activity was found. When the antioxidant activities of all investigated extracts were measured with application of same quantity of phenol compounds, oat grain extracts showed similar antioxidant activity of barely cultivars. However, barely extract appeared as the most potent antioxidant activity of inhibition of UV -induced lipid peroxidation. This indicated that factors such as phenolic compound composition and their individual antioxidant activity could playa crucial role in the total antioxidant activity of cereal grains.

  • Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) has long been recognized as a source of nutrients and phytochemicals. It is well known that the antioxidant properties of radish contributed to its popularity in pharmaceuticals. For this reason, the radish extract aided in the recovery and prevention from diseases. Hence, in this study, the sensory evaluation assessment was conducted following addition of radish oil to almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk (nondairy products) and Kefir, yogurt, and cow milk (dairy products) at different concentrations (containing 0.5% increments from 0% up to 2%). According to the results obtained in this study, all samples containing 0.5% radish oil scored higher on the sensory evaluation scale than the control. It is also very valuable as it is the first study to investigate sensory evaluation assessment by incorporating radish oil into almond milk, oat milk, and soy milk (nondairy products) and kefir, yogurt, and cow milk (dairy products). Furthermore, the results of this study can be used as a foundation for developing future products using radish oil. Additional research on addition of plant-based essential oil to various foods should be conducted.

  • A Bacillus sp. A-6 strain that produced xylanase was isolated from rice bran. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase activity of the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. A-6 were 40$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7, respectively. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase production in the xylan medium were 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. The optimal concentrations of oat spelt xylan and peptone for xylanase production were 0.5% and 1.5%, respectively. The best nitrogen sources for xylanase production was beef extract, but xylanase production was also supported comparably by tryptone and peptone. The bacterial growth in the optimal xylan medium reached stationary growth phase after 12 h of incubation. The xylanase production in the culture supernatant increased dramatically during the initial 12 h exponential growth phase and then remained constant at 23.8-24.5 unit/ml during the stationary growth phase. The pH of the culture medium decreased from 8.8 to 6.7 during the exponential growth phase and subsequently increased to 8.1 during the stationary growth phase. Rice bran, sorghum bran, and wheat bran as well as oat spelt xylan induced xylanase production. The xylanase production was repressed when glucose was added to the xylan-containing medium.

  • This study investigated the effects of temperature, solvent concentration, and pH on the ${\beta}$-glucan extraction. Oat bran ${\beta}$-glucan was extracted with different extraction conditions, using various combinations of experiment factors, such as temperature (40, 45, 50, 55, and $60^{\circ}C$), ethanol concentration (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%), and pH (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Under the various extraction conditions, ${\beta}$-glucan extraction rate and overall mass transfer coefficient of oat bran ${\beta}$-glucan, and viscosity of oat bran extracts were investigated. As increasing the extraction time, the extraction rate of ${\beta}$-glucan increased. The overall mass transfer coefficient of ${\beta}$-glucan ranged from $3.36{\times}10^{-6}$ to $8.55{\times}10^{-6}cm/min$, indicating the lowest at the extraction condition of $45^{\circ}C$, 15% and pH 8, and the highest at $50^{\circ}C$, 0% and pH 7. It was significantly greater with increasing extraction temperature and decreasing ethanol concentrations of extraction solvent, except for solvent pH. There were positive correlations among the overall mass transfer coefficient, the extraction rate of ${\beta}$-glucan, and the viscosity of extract.

  • A gene coding for the xylanase was cloned from Paenibacillus woosongensis, followed by determination of its complete nucleotide sequence. This xylanase gene, designated as xyn10A, consists of 1,446 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 481 amino acid residues. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence, Xyn10A was identified to be a modular enzyme composed of a catalytic domain highly homologous to the glycosyl hydrolase family 10 xylanase and a putative carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) in the C-terminus. By using DEAE-sepharose and phenyl-sepharose column chromatography, Xyn10A was purified from the cellfree extract of recombinant Escherichia coli carrying a P. woosongensis xyn10A gene. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified Xyn10A was identified to exactly match the sequence immediately following the signal peptide predicted by the Signal5.0 server. The purified Xyn10A was a truncated protein of 33 kDa, suggesting the deletion of CBM in the C-terminus by intracellular hydrolysis. The purified enzyme had an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 and 55-60℃, respectively, with the kinetic parameters Vmax and Km of 298.8 U/mg and 2.47 mg/ml, respectively, for oat spelt xylan. The enzyme was more active on arabinoxylan than on oat spelt xylan and birchood xylan with low activity for p-nitrophenyl-β-xylopyranoside. Xylanase activity was significantly inhibited by 5 mM Cu2+, Mn2+, and SDS, and was noticeably enhanced by K+, Ni2+, and Ca2+. The enzyme could hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides larger than xylobiose. The predominant products resulting from xylooligosaccharide hydrolysis were xylobiose and xylose.

  • Puffing process modifies the chemical and physical properties of the grains. In this study, oats were puffed by subjecting them to pressure of 1.0 and 1.2 MPa, following which the bioactive constituents and antioxidant activities in the oat extracts were investigated. The polyphenol content in puffed oat extracts increased in a pressure-dependent manner (109 and 157 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g at 1.0 and 1.2 MPa, respectively). In addition, gallic acid was synthesized after puffing ($518{\mu}g/g$ of extract at 1.0 MPa) and was the most abundant phenolic acid in puffed oats. The antioxidant activities, which were determined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities, were improved in oat extracts after puffing (+245 and +184% at 1.2 MPa, respectively). In conclusion, puffing process of oats increased the extractability of polyphenols, including gallic acid, which positively affected its antioxidant activities. These results will provide useful information when using puffed oats for food production.

  • Late-maturing Dark Horse, and early-maturing High Speed oat varieties were seeded on March 3, 2016 and harvested on three periods: May 31, June 10, and June 20 coded as early, mid, and late-harvest, respectively. Dried and ground samples were subjected to chemical analysis to determine nutritional values such as crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), ether extract (EE), organic matter (OM), and total digestible nutrient (TDN). Effective degradability (ED) of nutrients and fermentation characteristics including volatile fatty acid (VFA) composition, pH, gas production, and ammonia-N concentration were evaluated through an in vitro digestion method. Varieties of oat hays showed significant difference in terms of nutritional value, ED, and fermentation characteristics. Dark Horse showed higher CP and OM, and lower EE contents than High Speed. Dark Horse also showed higher EDDM (dry matter), NDF, ADF, and OM than High Speed, and although High Speed showed higher pH and ammonia-N, it had lower gas and total VFA production than Dark Horse. However, in terms of harvest period, significant difference was only observed in Dark Horse where early-harvest increased the CP, and late-harvest increased the NDF and OM contents. In addition, early-harvest of Dark Horse increased the EDDM and EDNDF of the forage. Therefore, early-harvest of late-maturing Dark Horse would give better nutrient efficiency than High Speed. Allowing Dark Horse to advance in maturity would decrease its nutrient productivity and efficiency.

  • Objective: An experiment was conducted to determine the nutrient intake, digestibility, microbial protein synthesis, haemato-biochemical attributes, immune response and growth performance of Gaddi kids fed with oat fodder based basal diet supplemented with either tea seed or tea seed saponin (TSS) extract. Methods: Eighteen male kids, $7.03{\pm}0.16$ months of age and $19.72{\pm}0.64kg$ body weight, were distributed into three groups, $T_0$ (control), $T_1$, and $T_2$, consisting of 6 animals each in a completely randomized design. The kids were fed a basal diet consisting of concentrate mixture and oat fodder (50:50). Animals in group III ($T_2$) were supplemented with TSS at 0.4% of dry matter intake (DMI), and group II ($T_1$) were supplemented with tea seed at 2.6% of DMI to provide equivalent dose of TSS as in $T_2$. Two metabolism trials were conducted, 1st after 21 days and 2nd after 90 days of feeding to evaluate the short term and long term effects of supplementation. Results: The tea seed ($T_1$) or TSS ($T_2$) supplementation did not affect DMI as well as the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, and acid detergent fibre. Nutritive value of diet and plane of nutrition were also comparable for both the periods. However, the average daily gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were improved (p<0.05) for $T_1$ and $T_2$ as compared to $T_0$. The microbial protein supply was also higher (p<0.05) for $T_1$ and $T_2$ for both the periods. There was no effect of supplementation on most blood parameters. However, the triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased (p<0.05) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level increased (p<0.05) in $T_2$ as compared with $T_0$ and $T_1$. Supplementation also did not affect the cell mediated and humoral immune response in goats. Conclusion: Tea seed at 2.6% of DMI and TSS at 0.4% DMI can be fed to Gaddi goats to improve growth rate, FCR and microbial protein synthesis.

  • A gene encoding the xylanase of Bacillus subtilis AMX-4 isolated from soil was cloned into Escherichia coli and the gene product was purified from the cell-free extract of the recombinant strain. The gene, designated xylA, consisted of 639 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 213 residues. The deduced amino acid sequence was highly homologous to those of xylanases belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 11. The molecular mass of the purified xylanase was 23 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.0-7.0 and a temperature optimum of $50-55^{\circ}C$. Xylanase activity was significantly inhibited by 5 mM $Cu^{2+}$ and 5 mM $Mn^{2+}$, and noticeably enhanced by 5 mM $Fe^{2+}$. The enzyme was active on xylans including arabinoxylan, birchwood xylan, and oat spelt xylan, but it did not exhibit activity toward carboxymethylcellulose or p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-xylopyranoside. The predominant products resulting from xylan and xylooligosaccharide hydrolysis were xylobiose and xylotriose. The enzyme could hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides larger than xylotriose.
