Abstract
Use of dietary fiber material extracted from grasses of the Poaceae family such as sugarcane, sweet sorghum and bamboo for the alleviation of chronic inflammation through improvement in intestinal flora and reduction of pro-inflammatory pathways.
Claims5
A method of treatment of the effects of chronic inflammation and associated conditions in an individual by feeding to said individual a food product incorporating dietary fibre material derived from whole sugar cane, whole sweet sorghum or whole bamboo;
- said dietary fibre material having been prepared according to a method including the steps of:
- subjecting the dietary fibre material to at least one wet diffusion step at neutral pH and a temperature is in the range of 25° C. to 70° C., to separate unwanted macronutrients including carbohydrates, fats and proteins, from a residual fibre material of the dietary fibre material whilst maintaining bioactive micro-nutrient content including polyphenolic antioxidants and flavonoid antioxidants;
- and
- subjecting the residual fibre material to a drying process that does not induce significant breakdown of the bioactive micronutrients retained by the chemical free extraction.
