Impact of xylanase-treated wheat milling by-products on the physical and chemical properties of cakes.

Background: Wheat milling by-products (germ and bran) are rich in dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In this study, wheat milling by-products (bran obtained by debranning (BOD), coarse bran, fine bran and wheat germ) were used in the production of cake at different ratios (0-30%) after treatment with xylanase. Xylanase was used to improve the technological properties of the by-products and thus improve end-product quality.
