Nutritional and functional perspectives of barley β-glucan

Barley (Hordeum vulgare), one of the important cereals in world after wheat, rice and maize. β-Glucan, a polysaccharide and soluble dietary fiber, has great potential as a nutraceutical ingredient. Its potential is not utterly utilized in food industry and used as fodder in developing countries with...
