Cereal foods are a fundamental part of a balanced diet and several studies have assigned to wholemeal cereal products a protective role in human health, due to their content of bioactive compounds. Within the phytochemicals, lignans are of increasing interest for their potential anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities. The aim of this work is to contribute to the updating of food lignan databases by providing the profile and the amount of lignans in cereals, buckwheat and several cereal based foods commonly consumed in human diets. Values were taken from published papers. Items were divided in different groups, namely , , , , and , and values for secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol, pinoresinol, lariciresinol are given. For example, the total average values for the mentioned lignans in grains ranged between 23 μg/100 g and 401 μg/100 g dry weight. The contribution of each single lignan molecule to the total value of lignans appears to be different for every cereal species. Lignan content and typology in processed foods depends on the raw materials used, their degree of refinement and on processing conditions.
谷物食品是均衡饮食的基本组成部分，多项研究表明，由于全麦谷物产品含有生物活性化合物，它们对人类健康具有保护作用。在植物化学物质中，木脂素因其潜在的抗癌、抗氧化、雌激素和抗雌激素活性而越来越受到关注。这项工作的目的是通过提供谷物、荞麦和人类日常饮食中常见的几种谷物类食品中的木脂素概况和含量，为更新食品木脂素数据库做出贡献。数据取自已发表的论文。项目分为不同的组，即 、 、 、 、 和 ，并给出了开环异落叶松脂素、罗汉松脂素、松脂醇、落叶松脂醇的值。例如，上述木脂素在谷物中的总平均值在23μg/100g至401μg/100g干重之间。对于每一种谷物品种，单个木脂素分子对木脂素总值的贡献似乎有所不同。加工食品中的木脂素含量和类型取决于所用的原材料、精制程度和加工条件。
