WP7: Assessing nutritional content of minor cereals and their effects on human cell cultures

Objectives
WP7 is focused on identifying and characterization of genotypes of oat, rye, spelt, einkorn and emmer with (i) very high and low concentrations of selected micronutrients (e.g., Zn, Fe, Se) and bioactive compounds (e.g., beta-glucan, total fibers, phenolics, total antioxidant capacity) and (ii) high impact in preventing apoptotic cell death and oxidative cell damage in human cell cultures.
