Description
Naphatsawan Singhadechachai and co-authors enriched sprouted oats with selenium in this 2026 study. Oats carry valued fibers like beta-glucan, and selenium is a trace element the body needs. The team soaked oats in a selenium salt while they germinated, then pulled out the sugar-rich fraction with ultrasound help.
Germination at the chosen salt level gave the richest extract in both fiber and selenium. A statistics method tuned the ultrasound settings for power, time, and mix ratio. Light scans showed the fiber's core structure survived the enrichment. The enriched fraction did not harm immune cells in dishes, and one sub-fraction fought oxidation best. The authors see a route to selenium-boosted health foods.
