Abstract:
Grains and cereals are widespread ingested staple food in many regions of world. Cereal are those categories of grains which have most complex structure including cell wall. Cell wall possesses wide range of composition and properties. Many cereals which include wheat, oats, barley and rye contains some structural components including B-glucans and arabinoxylans. The walls of cell residues within wheat (Triticum aestivum) endosperm are approx. 2-8 percent, which contain mainly non-starch polysaccharides, 24-105 gram per kg of arabinoxylans and 2-18 gram per kg of Betaglucans quantity. Prebiotic effects of arabinoxylans are visible in human and animal colon due to stimulation of gut microbiota. Antidiabetic role is shown by arabinogalactan in various ways by lowering the GI load of different foods in a positive way, reducing influence of glucose level and insulin resistance and ultimately lowering the risk of Diabetes Mellitus. Chemo protective role of AXOS termed as Arabinoxylan oligosaccharides is visible in cancer causing agents in colon. Lowering total blood cholesterol, low density cholesterol, cholesterol whereas increasing the efficacy of high density lipoproteins and blood lipid profile to maintain body weight. The main purpose of this review is to highlight nutritional and physiological benefits of wheat cell wall in human body. More researchers are required to illuminate role of wheat cell wall in nutraceutical domains and integrate them into different products so that people can have more of these products to combat current health problems.
