Abstract
Cereals are a major source of carbohydrates in diet occurring as soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharides, including dietary fibre. Dietary fibre plays an important role in the intestinal health and appears to be significantly associated with lower risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and obesity . They consist of a diverse group of molecules with varying degrees of water solubility, size and structure, which may influence the rheological properties of the gastrointestinal contents, flow of digesta and the digestion, absorption processes. Dietary antioxidants protect against oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, lipids and have a significant impact on the regulation of gene expression. The dietary antioxidants mainly polyphenolics, traverse the small intestine linked to dietary fibre. These antioxidants are released from the fibre matrix in the colon by the action of the bacterial microbiota, producing metabolites and an antioxidant environment. The present review focuses on the role of antioxidants linked to dietary fibre.
