Autoclaving process applied to wheat and rice bran samples to decrease the phytic acid content and to enhance the functional and nutritional properties (dietary fiber and phenolic content, antioxidant activity) of bran samples. All hydrothermal treatments caused significant decreases in phytic acid contents of both wheat (95.2%) and rice bran (95.6%) samples. The most effective process conditions on enhancing the total dietary fiber content for both bran samples were pH4.0 level and 1.5h holding time. Autoclaving treatment resulted in a decrease in total phenolic contents after holding for 90min and at 121°C at their native pH levels. Autoclaving for 90min caused the greatest degree of increment in the total antioxidant activity of wheat (12%, pH4.0) and rice bran samples (2%, pH3.5). Autoclaving treatment was found as quite effective method for both dephytinization and enrichment of wheat and rice brans as a functional food ingredient.Authors believe that the study presents important new information in terms of both enhancing functional properties of wheat and rice brans by hydrothermally dephytinization treatment and revealing the correlation between hydrothermal treatment and functional ingredients of brans. In this way, proposed method transforms inexpensive and easily accessible sources into important food ingredients and gives them added value. Hydrothermal treatment also enables food industry to use cereal brans as functional ingredients in the applications of both designing and enriching new and healthy food formulations.
