Utilization of these variations in crop breeding, such as the semi-dwarf variation of cereal crops, has greatly improved grain yield; this is known as the "green revolution".
"We expect more from a great American company than making dubious claims -- not once, but twice -- that its cereals improve children's health," Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the F.T.C., said in a statement.
They also get checks or vouchers to purchase specific foods designed to supplement and improve their diets: infant cereal, iron-fortified adult cereal, vegetables, milk and cheese, peanut butter, whole wheat bread and so on.
Airtight wet storage or ensilation has also been shown to improve the digestibility of cereal grain starch in animal feeding due to the activity of internal amylases and a more accessible structure of the starch granules [ 10, 17].
The health potential of cereal products can be improved throughout the cereal sector via a more integrative approach based on reverse engineering.
Hence, the enhancement of endogenous phytase activity of cereal grains could improve the bioavailability of mineral nutrients in cereals [8], [9], [10].
The approach has been successfully applied in many situations and is illustrated through a case study to improve an all-family cereal recipe both in terms of nutritional value (i.e. 50% sugar reduction and partial replacement of refined wheat flour by whole grains) and sensory properties.
Fermentation and germination have been proposed as processes that can improve the quality of cereal and legume seeds.
I feel like agriculture graduates have better scope to improve quality of food (cereal, fruits, vegetables) through improved supplementation of plant nutrients (e.g. micronutrients).
