BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -All whole grain kernels contain three parts: the bran, germ, and endosperm. Each section houses health-promoting nutrients. The bran is the fiber-rich outer layer that supplies B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, antioxidants, and phytochemicals.

Detailed explanation-2: -To understand whole grains, it is necessary to comprehend their anatomy. There are three parts of a wheat kernel: the bran, endosperm and germ. The bran is the outer shell of the grain and is high in fiber and B vitamin. Inside the bran is the endosperm, which makes up most of the kernel and mainly contains starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bran is the outer layer and is rich in fiber. The germ is the inner layer and is rich in nutrients. The endosperm is the bulk of the kernel and contains some of the vitamins and minerals. The endosperm is what white flour is made up of.

Detailed explanation-4: -Whole grains are the entire seed of a plant. This seed, also called a “kernel”, is made up of three edible parts-the bran, the germ, and the endosperm-protected by an inedible husk that defends the kernel from assaults by sunlight, pests, water, and disease.

Detailed explanation-5: -The germ is the embryo or sprouting section of the seed. It is often separated from flour because the fat content (10%) limits shelf life. The germ contains minimal quantities of high quality protein and a greater share of B-complex vitamins and trace minerals.
