Abstract
ABSTRACTIncubation of wheat bran at pH 5.2 and at a temperature of 55°C for various periods of time caused an increase in the levels of inorganic phosphorus and inositol phosphates and a simultaneous decrease in the level of phytic acid. When Arabic bread containing different levels of bran was prepared, up to 32% of the original phytic acid was lost during the process of bread preparation. Incorporation of wheat malt in the bread formula did not have any effect on phytic acid loss while incubation of bran in an acidic medium followed by repeated decantation of the incubation liquid produced a high bran bread almost free of phytic acid.
