Research Progress of Effects of Arabinoxylan on the Quality of Cereals

Abstract:

Arabinoxylan is one of non-starch polysaccharides, which is widely found in cereals. It is important for the quality of cereal products because of its special physical and chemical properties and nutritional value. This paper summarized the effects of arabinoxylan on the processing properties and final qualities of cereal products and the underlying mechanisms. The problems and future research fields were also discussed for its further development and utilization in better quality cereal products.
