Abstract With the aim of reducing phytic acid content of
wheat bran, particle size reduction (from 1,200 to 90 μm),
hydrothermal (wet steeping in acetate buffer at pH 4.8 at
55 °C for 60 min) and fermentation (using bakery yeast for
8 h at 30 °C) and combination of these treatments with
particle size reduction were applied and their effects on
some properties of the bran were studied.
