Structural characteristics of wheat bran arabinoxylan and its differential effects on the physicochemical properties of A-, B-, and C-type starches.

Arabinoxylan was extracted and purified from wheat bran through alkaline extraction, enzymatic removal of starch and protein, and ethanol precipitation. Its interactions with wheat (A-type), potato (B-type), and pea (C-type) starches were systematically investigated and compared. The purified arabinoxylan exhibited a l...
