This comprehensive reference consolidates current information on
the antioxidant properties of wheat, their beneficial effects, the
mechanisms involved, factors affecting
availability/bioavailability, and the methods used to measure them.
It discusses antioxidant properties of wheat grains and fractions
and their phytochemical compositions and covers the effects of
genotype, growing conditions, post-harvest treatment, storage, and
food formulation and processing on availability/bioavailability.
Wheat Antioxidants will help cereal chemists, food
technologists, food processors, nutritionists, and others maximize
the health benefits of wheat-based foods.
