METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF BIOACTIVITY, REMOVAL, OR INACTIVATION CEREAL AMYLASE TRYPSIN INHIBITORS IN CEREALS, FLOURS AND COMPLEX FOODS

摘要

The present invention features methods of extracting amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) from processed and unprocessed foodstuff, determining bioactivity of ATIs, qualifying the amount of ATIs in a foodstuff, and reducing the content of ATIs in a foodstuff.
