This analysis demonstrates how extrusion processing enhances wheat bran's properties in biscuits, suggesting a novel approach to treating constipation.
Key Points
E-WBDF-enriched biscuits improved physical properties while reducing their digestion rate, aiding constipation relief.
Mouse model results show that E-WBDF biscuits increased fecal volume by promoting faster intestinal transit.
Extrusion processing altered the texture and color of biscuits, making them less hard and darker than conventional options.
Using E-WBDF in biscuit formulations could lead to novel functional foods that support digestive health.
