Optimization of Selenium Fortification and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Selenium-Polysaccharide Fractions from Germinated Oats (Avena sativa)
Oats are a rich source of bioactive polysaccharides, particularly β-glucan, while selenium is an essential trace element involved in various physiological functions. This study investigated the effects of sodium selenite supplementation during oat germination on selenium accumulation and polysaccharide characteristics,...
