Description Biological activities of alkali extracted (Barium
hydroxide: BE-480 kDa, Potassium hydroxide: KE1-1080
and KE2-40 kDa), purified arabinoxylans (AX) from the
finger millet bran varying in their molecular weight, phenolic
acid content, arabinose to xylose ratios were evaluated for
their immune-stimulatory activities using murine lymphocytes
and peritoneal exudate macrophages. All three purified
AX displayed significant (p2 fold) and macrophage phagocytosis than KE1 and
KE2. The above results clearly documented that the
immunostimulatory activity of arabinoxylans is directly proportional
to the amount of ferulic acid content (0.11 mg/
100 g), whereas molecular weight as well as arabinose/
xylose ratio, did not have any bearing. Purified AX from the
finger millet bran can be explored as a potent natural
immunomodulator.
