It was found that a high concentration of sodium chloride (2 M) leads to considerable dissociation of PAH, which is apparently due to the loosening of polyelectrolytes under the action of ionic strength. At the same time, 0.2 M sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate of the same ionic strength (0.1 M) exert less influence on the amount of dissociated polymer. In the case of ammonium sulfate (0.1 M), the effect is due to the competitive binding of sulfate anions to the amino groups of the polyelectrolyte. However, unlike microcapsules formed on CaCO3 particles containing protein, the dissociation of polyelectrolyte from micro as a result of the dissociation of the microcapsule.This research investigated the effect of sprouting on wheat bran. Bran from un-sprouted (BUW) and sprouted (BSW) wheat were characterized in terms of chemical composition, enzymatic activities, and hydration properties. In addition, the rheological properties (using GlutoPeak, Farinograph, Extensograph, and Rheofermentometer tests) and bread-making performance (color, texture, volume of bread) of wheat doughs enriched in bran at 20% replacement level were assessed. Sprouting process caused a significant decrease in phytic acid (~20%), insoluble dietary fiber (~11%), and water holding capacity (~8%), whereas simple sugars (~133%) and enzymatic activities significantly increased after processing. As regards the gluten aggregation kinetics, the BSW-blend profile was more similar to wheat than BUW-blend, indicating changes in the fiber and gluten interactions. BSW
