Unravelling the bread-making functionality of gluten-rich sub-aleurone flour obtained by dry fractionation of wheat miller's bran.

The residual endosperm of wheat miller's bran is rich in gluten proteins due to the presence of protein-rich sub-aleurone cells. Here, the goal was to gain insight into the bread-making functionality of sub-aleurone gluten-enriched fractions obtained through dry fractionation of miller's bran and the inherent bread-making functionality of sub-aleurone gluten. Therefore, two sub-aleurone gluten-enriched fractions (Sub-al and Sub-al), differing in particle size distribution and chemical composition, were prepared from miller's bran using impact milling, sieving, and air classification.

Ingestion of a Whey Plus Collagen Protein Blend Increases Myofibrillar and Muscle Connective Protein Synthesis Rates.

Purpose: Ingestion of whey protein increases myofibrillar but not muscle connective protein synthesis rates. Recently, we defined a whey and collagen protein blend (5:1-ratio) to optimize post-prandial plasma amino acid availability. Here, we assessed the ability of this blend to increase myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis rates at rest and during early recovery from exercise.

Selection of Wheat Miller's Bran Based on the Sub-aleurone Protein Content Allows Increase of the Quality of Bran-Enriched Bread.

Wheat miller's bran negatively affects the gluten network but contains the grain tissue with the highest gluten content, the sub-aleurone. Here, the aim was to investigate how sub-aleurone gluten proteins in miller's bran affect bran-enriched bread quality. A bread-making experiment was performed with six lab-scale-produced bran samples.

Coingestion of Collagen With Whey Protein Prevents Postexercise Decline in Plasma Glycine Availability in Recreationally Active Men.

Whey protein ingestion during recovery from exercise increases myofibrillar but not muscle connective protein synthesis rates. It has been speculated that whey protein does not provide sufficient glycine to maximize postexercise muscle connective protein synthesis rates. In the present study, we assessed the impact of coingesting different amounts of collagen with whey protein as a nutritional strategy to increase plasma glycine availability during recovery from exercise.
