摘要
Abstract
From the domestication of wild grasses in the Fertile Crescent 10,000 years ago, to the understanding of their full potential nutritional value, cereal crops continue to be essential in the advancement of human cultures. Of the twelve most important crops in the world, five are cereals (rice, wheat, com, barley and sorghum) which alone account for more than half the calories consumed by the world's human populations. The scientific community has begun to understand the important role of cereal foods beyond a source of calories. The importance of a balanced diet, which includes whole cereal grain foods, can′t be over emphasized. Whole grain foods are a source of dietary carbohydrates, micronutrients and phytochemicals. An example would be the aleurone layer of cereals, which is especially rich in a number of phytosterols, with potent antioxidant properties. Another example is the soluble and insoluble cell wall components in the bran which is an important source of dietary fiber. Supporting scientific evidence of the beneficial effect of high-fiber and whole grain foods in maintaining good health and preventing serious illness is available in the literature. Dietary factors are thought to affect body weight and the overall state of the body in preventing illness. The relationships of complex carbohydrates, whole grain products and the prevention of some diseases,including type-2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease are summarized.关键词
