Arabinoxylan Powder

What Is Arabinoxylan Powder?

Arabinoxylan powder is made from sugarcane bagasse by washing, pressing, sodium hydroxide extraction, precipitation, purification and drying. This raw material is mainly used as one of the sources of dietary fibre. Structurally, arabinoxylan is composed of 1,4-β-xylose as the main chain. Arabinose is a polymer glycan consisting of the main side chain. We use acid hydrolysis, and the hydrolysate is mainly xylose and arabinose.

 

Safety:

The National Health and Wellness Commission commissioned the review body to organise experts to review and pass the safety assessment materials of arabinoxylan following the statutory procedures. They recognised that it is safe for consumption and has the attributes of a food ingredient. In addition, the recommended serving size of arabinoxylan products is ≤15g/day. However, because of the insufficient information on the safety of arabinoxylan powder in the population of infants and young children, pregnant and lactating women. From the principle of risk prevention, the above groups should not consume it. Labels and instructions should be marked unsuitable for people and consumption limits.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has used arabinoxylan as a dietary fibre. The European Union, Canada and other countries and regions have allowed the substance to be added to food or dietary supplements.

• United States

In 2018, the US FDA approved arabinoxylan bulk powder as a dietary fibre. It may be permitted to be added to food or dietary supplements.In 2023, the FDA cleared corn gluten arabinoxylan (GRN No. 1073). This product can be used as a formulation aid (binder/gelatiniser/texturizer/stabilizer/thickener/emulsifier) and a source of dietary fibre. The maximum use levels in various food categories range from 0.75% to 54.3% by weight.

 

• European Union

The EU has also approved health claims for arabinoxylan powder. They recognise their beneficial effects on postprandial glycaemic response. The health claim states that consumption of arabinoxylan at mealtimes helps to inhibit postprandial blood glucose elevation. Added to food, arabinoxylan is useful for people with metabolic disorders or type 2 diabetes. It helps to improve cardiovascular health.The EFSA panel concluded that there is a causal relationship between the consumption of arabinoxylan produced from wheat endosperm and the reduction of postprandial glycaemic response.

 

• Canada

In Canada, arabinoxylan is considered a plant polysaccharide and is classified as a dietary fibre. Health Canada has also announced that bran extracts containing arabinoxylan are available as novel food ingredients.

 

Efficacy

As a functional sugar, arabinoxylan is widely used in many countries. This is closely related to its multiple efficacy properties.

• Improves intestinal health:

Arabinoxylan is an indigestible fibre found in cereals. Its structure affects the fermentation and degradation of substrates by the intestinal flora.Francios et al. found that supplementation with arabinoxylan led to changes in the characteristics of the human microbiome, including an increase in beneficial bacteria. For example, bifidobacteria. The study also showed an increase in the number of bacteria of the family Trichosporonaceae in mice fed arabinoxylan. It has also been shown that arabinoxylan powder can be fermented by the gut microbiota and selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon. It can therefore be considered a prebiotic. All of these studies suggest that arabinoxylan may enhance microbial diversity, promote health and prevent intestinal dysbiosis.

 

• Antioxidant:

The antioxidant activity of arabinoxylan is mainly related to its phenolic acid content. Phenolic acids have beneficial effects on chronic and cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases and aging. Phenolic acids exert their antioxidant activity through several mechanisms. Examples include free radical scavenging, metal chelation and potential lowering, blocking free radical chains, modulating enzyme activities and altering signal transduction pathways. Ferulic acid is the most abundant phenolic acid in arabinoxylan.

 

• Improves diabetes:

Studies have shown that bulk arabinoxylan improves TCA cycle, tryptophan metabolism, lipid and ketone body metabolism, taurine and taurine metabolism, and lysine metabolism disorders in type 2 diabetic rats. It modulates diabetes-induced dyslipidaemia by regulating the levels of metabolites associated with dyslipidaemia. It also alleviates type 2 diabetes by enhancing the composition of the bacterial flora in the gut such as Actinobacteria, Aspergillus, E. coli-Shigella and Klebsiella.

 

• Liver protection:

Arabinogalactan can activate lipid metabolism by enhancing the activity of enzymes such as lipase in the liver. Reduces oxidative stress in the liver by increasing superoxide dismutase levels, thereby reducing liver damage.

Market Trends

Data related to Gminsights reveals that the arabinoxylan powder fibre market size in the food segment will reach USD 28.9 million by 2023.The CAGR will be more than 8.5% from 2024 to 2032. This is attributed to the growing consumer demand for functional food products rich in dietary fibre. Its product portfolio includes bread, confectionery, dairy, and meat products.

 

Japan-based Kirin Holdings, Inc. has launched All-Bran Immune Care, a "double health claim" functional food in 2023. It contains Kirin Holdings' proprietary ingredient Lactococcus lactis Plasma (postbiotic) and the wheat bran-derived fermented fibre arabinoxylan. The product helps maintain healthy immune function and improves the intestinal environment.

 

Delvix Garden has launched an arabinoxylan supplement powder. It is extracted from organic rice. It contains ≥95% of arabinoxylan compounds. It can be used as a food supplement. The product replenishes the body's daily dietary fibre needs and boosts immunity.

Currently, the number of people suffering from obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is increasing. Consumers are increasingly focusing on healthy dietary choices. Arabinogalactan, known for its support of gut health, is gradually coming into the limelight of health-conscious people. In addition, an aging population and rising healthcare costs are fuelling demand for functional foods. Arabinoxylan has the potential to support immune function and improve metabolic health. This has also attracted significant attention from consumers and manufacturers. Driven by the market, the advantages of arabinoxylan powder will be further demonstrated.
