Abstract
Arabinoxylans (AXs) are major dietary fibers. They are composed of backbone chains of -(1–4)-
linked xylose residues to which -l-arabinose are linked in the second and/or third carbon positions.
Recently, AXs have attracted a great deal of attention because of their biological activities such as their
immunomodulatory potential. Extraction of AXs has some difficulties; therefore, various methods have
beenusedto increase the extractability ofAXs withvaryingdegrees of success, suchas alkaline, enzymatic,
mechanical extraction. However, some of these treatments have been reported to be either expensive,
such as enzymatic treatments, or produce hazardous wastes and are non-environmentally friendly, such
as alkaline treatments. On the other hand, mechanical assisted extraction, especially extrusion cooking,
is an innovative pre-treatment that has been used to increase the solubility of AXs. The aim of the current
review article is to point out the health-related effects and to discuss the current research on the
extraction methods of AXs.
