Abstract
Germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) derived from the aleurone and scutel lum fractions of germinated barley was rich in glutamine and low-ligni fied hemicellulose. The diarrhea caused by ceco-colectomy could be pre vented by feeding GBF to rats. GBF could also increase the protein con tent and sucrase activity of small intestinal mucosa in this model. Th is diarrhea-preventive effect of CBF would be based on the water-holdi ng capacity and bulging force under alkaline conditions, e.g. in the s mall intestine.
