🏆 Exciting news! Our work "Enhancing Mineral Bioaccessibility and Macronutrient Digestibility of Rye Grain Through Germination and Fermentation," was selected for oral presentation and has won the Best Poster Award in the category of innovative and exceptional whole grain research at the 8th Whole Grain Summit in Detmold, Germany (31-March to April 2nd). 🎉🌾 ✨ Our study provided scientific evidence demonstrating how industrial-scale germination and fermentation synergistically optimize the nutritional profile of rye grain, creating healthier, more digestible products aligned with current dietary trends by: 🔹 Effectively reducing antinutritional factors 🔹 Inducing substantial alterations in grain microstructure 🔹Facilitating protein and starch digestibility and bioaccessibility of essential minerals. 🤝 A heartfelt thank you to our amazing collaborators from Puratos NV (Bernard Bonjean and Pieter Heirbaut) for their contributions, and sincere appreciation to the WGS jury for recognizing the significance of our work. 👏 Huge congratulations to our incredible GRAINS4HEALTH team (Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos y Nutrición (ICTAN-CSIC)): Elena Peñas, Juana Frias Arevalillo, Diego Herrero, Carlos Facundo Gaona Scheytt for their hard work, and scientific excellence!
