Effect of Particle Size on Structural, Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Highland Barley Bran by Tong WANG, Xueqing WANG, Yaning TIAN, Jingjing YANG, Bin DANG, Xiaogang SHEN, Fengzhong WANG, Lili WANG

“…The results indicated that as the particle size of highland barley bran decreased, a portion of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) transformed into soluble dietary fiber (SDF), leading to an increase in the proportion of SDF in the total dietary fiber from 7.18% (CHB) to 8.50% (UHB). Microscopic and pore characteristic studies revealed that with the reduction in particle size, the packing state of highland barley bran became more compact, and the micro-pores ranging from 50 nm to 10 µm gradually dominated the bran's pore structure, increasing from 31% in the CHB group to 69% in the UHB group. …”
