Processes for the preparation of an insoluble biomass gel involving:

Insoluble biomass gel (IBG) and methods of preparing

Compositions comprising bio-fiber gum hydrolysate and processes to hydrolyze bio-fiber gum (BFG), involving dissolving BFG in a solvent to form a solution, heating the solution and adding endoxylanase to the solution or adding endoxylanase to the solution and heating the solution, incubating the solution to form a solution containing BFG hydrolysate, boiling the solution containing BFG hydrolysate to inactivate the endoxylanase, and separating the BFG hydrolysate from the liquid in the solution containing BFG hydrolysate.

Bio-fiber gum hydrolysates and processes of producing

Disclosed are methods of decreasing the viscosity of an aqueous suspension of a water insoluble or sparingly soluble dietary fiber (compared to the viscosity of the dietary fiber alone), involving mixing the dietary fiber with water and a soluble compound (e.g., polysaccharide having a molecular weight of about 500 Da to about 1,000 kDa and 1% solution viscosity of up to 10 mPa&#xb7;s; or protein having a molecular weight of about 10 to about 500 kDa and a 1% solution viscosity of up to 10 mPa&#xb7;s).
