Public Abstract	Researchers at Purdue University have developed a low pH, low sugar gel from arabinoxylan complexes in corn. It is non-toxic, biocompatible, and increases satiety upon consumption. This novel soluble gel is combined in a beverage for heightened post-meal energy and encapsulation and slow distribution of bioactives. These properties make these gels well suited for food, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Advantages: -Low pH -Increased post-meal energy -Controlled release of bioactive Potential Applications: -Food and beverages -Nutraceuticals for drug delivery -Cosmetics
