Studies on the mode of action of non-starch-polysaccharides(NSP)-degrading enzymes in vitro 2. Communication: Effects on nutrientrelease and hydration properties

摘要

By use of an in vitro model, the effects of NSP-degrading enzymes on the cage effect and the hydration properties were demonstrated using wheat bran. The in vitro model simulates the conditions (pH, dry matter, temperature and transit time) in the fore sections of the porcine gastro- intestinal tract (GIT) by neglecting endogenous enzyme activities.
