Enzymic production of a feruloylated oligosaccharide with antioxidant activity from wheat flour arabinoxylan

Abstract

A feruloylated oligosaccharide (FAX3) was isolated from WFAX after enzymatic treatment with XYLI. We verified antioxidant activity of FAX(3) which may be important in preventing or reducing the progression of atherosclerosis by inhibiting the peroxidation of lipoproteins.
