Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of bioavailability in wheat, oats, and barley through germination combined with advanced technological treatments. The experimental design included three cereal species (Triticum aestivum, Avena sativa, Hordeum vulgare) subjected to germination for 24, 48, and 72 hours, followed by either ultrasonic (20 kHz, 30 min) or low-temperature microwave pretreatment (700 W, 3 min). Primary analyses included phytic acid content, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity. Results demonstrated that combining germination with technological treatments effectively improved nutrient bioavailability
