... To further reveal the role of feruloylation of arabinoxylan (AX) in regulating the heat-evoked polymerization behavior of gluten, AX was extracted from wheat bran and in situ modified with lime to obtain AX with controlled ferulic acid (FA) content. The effects of AX with varied FA level on the heat-evoked polymerization of gluten were comparatively studied. The results suggested that AX postponed ...

Abstract:
... Arabinoxylans (AXs) display biological activities that depend on their chemical structures. To structurally characterize and distinguish AXs using a non-enzymatic approach, various TEMPO-oxidized AXs were partially acid-hydrolysed to obtain diagnostic oligosaccharides (OS). Arabinurono-xylo-oligomer alditols (AUXOS-A) with degree of polymerization 2–5, comprising one and two arabinuronic acid (Ara ...

Abstract:
... Arabinoxylans are important for dough and breadmaking properties. It is not clear how arabinoxylans of different molecular weights behave during the breadmaking process as well as the changes in individual structures. We investigated changes in the molecular weight and structure of water-extractable arabinoxylans. It was revealed that molecules larger than high molecular weight arabinoxylans were ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Evaluation of the performance of a pilot-scale membrane system to separate and concentrate arabinoxylans, hydroxycinnamic acids and fermentable sugars from nejayote. METHODS: Total suspended solids (TSS) from nejayote were removed by a novel enzymatic process to avoid UF-membrane fouling (Asaff and Reyes 2015; modified to pilot-scale). The free-TSS nejayote was submitted to ultrafiltratio ...

Abstract:
... Arabinoxylans of various structures and sources have shown to possess the ability to induce a range of immune responses in different cell types in vitro and in vivo. Although the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully established, several studies point towards the involvement of activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Activation of specific PRRs (i.e., Dectin-1 and CR3) has also been ...

Abstract:
... Polysaccharides derived from lignocellulose are promising sustainable carbon sources. Cellulosome is a supramolecular machine integrating multi-function enzymes for effective lignocellulose bio-saccharification. However, how various non-cellulose components of lignocellulose affect the cellulosomal saccharification is hitherto unclear. This study first investigated the stability and oxygen sensiti ...

Abstract:
... This research aimed to investigate the effects of water-extractable arabinoxylan (WEAX) and water-unextractable arabinoxylan (WUAX) on the quality of you-tiao. In this work, the interactions between different amounts of AX and wheat gluten were extensively evaluated during frying treatment. The results showed that WEAX impaired the surface hydrophobicity of gluten and improved its solubility, whil ...

Abstract:
... Arabinoxylan (AX) and arabinoxylooligosaccharides (AXOs) are carbohydrate sources utilized by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum. However, their degradation pathways are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized two genes, BLLJ_1850 and BLLJ_1851, in the hemicellulose-degrading gene cluster (BLLJ_1836–BLLJ_1859) of B. longum subsp. longum JCM 1217. Both recombinant enzymes expressed in ...

The physicochemical stability of β-carotene emulsions and the bioaccessibility of β-carotene stabilized by arabinoxylan hydrolysate (AXH)-soy protein isolate (SPI) conjugates (formed by dry heating) was evaluated. β-Carotene emulsions were prepared using SPI, AXH/SPI mixtures and AXH-SPI conjugates separately. Results of mean droplet size and zeta potential indicated that AXH-SPI conjugates-stabil ...
