Abstract: A food grade water-soluble arabinoxylan product containing arabinoxylan oligosaccharides and retaining a high amount of bound ferulic acid and other phenolic substances is isolated from corn fiber using an aqueous extraction wherein the pH of the aqueous medium employed for the extraction is adjusted to a selected value after mixing with the corn fiber and prior to the initiation of extraction.

Abstract: A reduced sugar corn syrup (RSCS) and at least one of a reducing saccharide or a thinboiling starch are used as ingredients for the preparation of food products such as caramels, chewy confectionaries, jelly gum confectionaries, bakery and confectionary fillings, flavored syrups, ice cream variegates, dessert toppings and the like.

Abstract: A process of separating one or more components of corn fiber that comprises contacting the corn fiber with an extraction fluid that comprises at least one weak acid, increasing the temperature of the resulting mixture of fiber and fluid to solubilize hemicellulose of the corn fiber into the fluid, cooling the mixture, and separating the cooled extraction mixture into a soluble fraction comprising dissolved hemicellulose and an insoluble fraction comprising cellulose.
