  • Why is germ removed during the milling process?
  • During the milling process of wheat, its germ is removed to increase the shelf-stability of flour, which can be compromised by the rapid degradation of germ due to the presence of enzymes (i.e., lipoxygenase and lipase) and a high content of easily oxidised unsaturated oils.
  • Do germinated wheat grains lead to extensive prolamin hydrolysis?
  • This data is consistent with existing knowledge, where the proteolytic activity of germinated wheat grains led to extensive prolamin hydrolysis (Loponen et al ., 2007 ).
  • Can defatted wheat germ be fermented using Lactobacillus plantarum?
  • Summary This study explored the fermentation of defatted wheat germ (DWG) using Lactobacillus plantarum, leading to the release of bioactive peptides with improved technological and health properti…
