Introduction to Food Science
- 50% of food protein comes from cereals
- Cereals are a source of energy (1400-1600 kJ per 100g whole cereal)
- Cereals are important in developing countries providing two thirds of energy and protein intake
Cereals Composition
- Cereals contain non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and starch with weights making up 70-77% of the grain.
- Protein constitutes 6-15% of cereals
- Starch and NSP can be fermented by microorganisms in the large intestine
