About

Cereal grains contain a wide variety of different phytochemicals which may play different roles in physiology. Their response in plasma and urine after a meal is poorly defined for most cereals. This study will investigate the plasma response and urinary excretion of cereal compounds after eating 6 different types of cereal preparation, with a focus on alkylresorcinols.

Full description

This was a cross-over, randomized, double blind study with 6 arms (flours of different composition). Thirteen subjects completed the trial, where 100 g of each flour, mixed with 300 mL milk, was fed to all subjects.
