Isolation, Fractionation, and Structural Characteristics of Alkali‐Extractable β‐Glucan from Rye Whole Meal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT The main nonstarch polysaccharide of rye is arabinoxylan (AX), but rye contains significant levels of (1→3)(1→4)‐β‐d‐glucan, which unlike oat and barley β‐glucan, is not readily extracted by water, possibly because of entrapment within a matrix of AX cross‐linked by phenolics. This study continues objectives to improve understanding of factors controlling the physicochemical behavior of the cereal β‐glucans. Rye β‐glucan was extracted by 1.0N NaOH and increasing concentrations of ammonium sulfate were used to separate the β‐glucan from AX and prepare a series of eight narrow molecular weight (MW) distribution fractions. Composition and structural characteristics of the isolated β‐glucan and the eight fractions were determined. High‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) with both specific calcofluor binding and a triple detection (light scattering, viscometry, and refractive index) system was used for MW determination. Lichenase digestion followed by high‐performance anion exchange chromatography of released oligosaccharides, was used for structural evaluation. The overall structure of all fractions was similar to that of barley β‐glucan.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
