DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-CARB PREBIOTIC CEREAL BARS USING MICROFLUIDIZED OAT BRAN

The goal of the proposed project is to develop low-calorie common and low-carb prebiotic cereal bars using microfluidized oat bran as a novel binder. It will be realized by achieving the following objectives. Objective 1: Prepare and characterize microfluidized oat bran. Objective 2: Develop low-calorie common and low-carb prebiotic cereal bars. Objective 3: Characterize physicochemical properties of cereal bars. Objective 4: Evaluate gut microbiota-modulating effects of low-carb prebiotic cereal bars.
