1. Potential antioxidant effects of wheat-based cereal extracts on iron-induced phosphytidylcholine liposome oxidation - Baublis, Alan Joseph
The purpose of this work was to study the effectiveness of diet derived antioxidants from wheat based aqueous cereal extracts under simulated gastrointestinal pH conditions and to monitor their effectiveness in modulating iron mediated oxidation which has been suggested as a risk factor in chronic disease. Wheat based breakfast cereals of composition ranging from whole grain to a refined flour product were analyzed for potential antioxidant effects. The breakfast cereals were extracted under aqueous conditions and the resulting extracts were tested for their ability to inhibit phosphatidylcholine liposome oxidation. The extent of oxidation was monitored by measuring the formation of...
