[Health Canada, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations consider the terms "enriched food" and "fortified food" as synonymous and use them interchangeably, whereas some authors make a distinction between the two terms. In that case, ] enriched foods have nutrients added to them that were lost during processing. [On the other hand], fortified foods have had nutrients added that are beyond what the foods originally contained. 1, record 1, English, - fortified%20food

A bulky food is enriched by the addition of an energy-or nutrient-rich food, or a food rich in both. In order to make a staple more energy rich, a spoonful of oil, fat or sugar can be added to it. This increases the energy concentration of the food without adding to its volume or thickness. 1, record 2, English, - bulky%20food

The gradual debranning of wheat bran was possible because wheat bran is composed of about eight layers and the physical binding force between these layers is loosened upon absorption of moisture. When different mechanical actions, such as friction and abrasion, are applied to tempered wheat, the "bran" can be sequentially removed (Dexter and Wood, 1996). The fractions, by-products of the debranning process, are rich in dietary fibre (Wood and Mullin, 1996) and may have great potential as functional food ingredients. Wheat bran may reduce the risk of colon cancer and alleviates constipation. [Source: ethanol project - Lkstarwk.en p. 1]. 1, record 3, English, - debranning

Debranning of wheat provides a starch enriched feedstock for ethanol production. The economics of this process will be greatly improved by utilization of the co-produced bran fractions. These products are novel; although previously commercially available combined in the form of conventional wheat bran, the separated fractions have not been available. The physicochemical and physiological properties of these fractions are not known, but they have significant potential for impact in the growing health food or functional food markets.

Le décorticage graduel du son de blé est possible parce que le son de blé se compose d'environ huit couches et que la force physique qui unit ces couches diminue lorsque le son absorbe de l'eau. En soumettant le blé conditionné à divers traitements mécaniques comme la friction et l'abrasion, on peut en éliminer le «son» par étapes (Dexter et Wood, 1996). Les fractions ainsi obtenues, sous-produits du décorticage, sont riches en fibres alimentaires (Wood et Mullin, 1996) et pourraient avoir beaucoup de potentiel comme ingrédients alimentaires fonctionnels. Le son de blé, qui soulage la constipation, réduirait en outre le risque de cancer du côlon. [Source: projet éthanol - Lkstarwk.fr p. 1] 1, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9corticage

Le décorticage du son donne un produit riche en amidon qui peut servir de matière première pour la production d'éthanol. La rentabilité de ce traitement s'accroîtrait considérablement si les co-produits du décorticage étaient utilisés. Il s'agit de produits nouveaux : on les trouvait auparavant sur le marché, combinés sous la forme classique du son de blé, mais les fractions n'étaient pas vendues séparément. Or, bien que leurs propriétés physico-chimiques et physiologiques nous soient inconnues, ces fractions ont cependant un potentiel considérable pour le marché des aliments santé ou fonctionnels, toujours en expansion.

Three pre-processed wheat bran fractions were evaluated for soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, ß-D-glucan content and starch levels. From the results up-to-date, we found that :(i) ß-D-glucan content of pre-processed wheat bran Fraction(A1) was enriched from 0. 5% in the wheat to 2. 6%;... an enzymatic procedure was developed for the purification of ß-D-glucan, which allow us to compare the chemical and physical(rheological) properties of wheat ß-D-glucan against other cereals(e. g. oat and barley). These results suggest that pre-processed wheat bran is a potential functional food ingredient or a potential soluble/insoluble fibre source, which can be used in food as is or by minor modification to increase fibre solubility.

Nous avons déterminé la teneur en fibres alimentaires solubles et insolubles, en ß-D-glucane et en amidon de trois fractions de son de blé prétraité. [...] D'après les résultats que nous avons obtenus jusqu'ici, nous pouvons faire les constatations suivantes : i) la fraction de son de blé prétraité A1 s'est enrichie en ß-D-glucane, la concentration de ce composé passant de 0,5 %, dans le blé non traité, à 2,6 % dans le son; [...] nous avons mis au point un procédé enzymatique pour purifier la ß-D-glucane, de façon à comparer les propriétés chimiques et physiques (rhéologiques) de la ß-D-glucane du blé à celles de la glucane d'autres céréales (p. ex. l'avoine et l'orge). D'après ces résultats, le son de blé prétraité pourrait être un ingrédient alimentaire fonctionnel ou une source de fibres solubles et insolubles s'utilisant tel quel dans les aliments ou après une modification mineure destinée à augmenter la solubilité des fibres.
