The present study assesses the aggregation behavior of wheat bran arabinoxylan-rich soluble dietary fiber (SDF) fractions with diverse molecular weight and substitution in order to provide useful information to prevent the formation of a block network. In the present work, dynamic and static light scattering, diffusing wave spectroscopy, small amplitude dynamic rheology, atomic force microscopy, and the water-holding and swelling capacities were evaluated to assess the SDF aggregation behavior induced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Furthermore, the rheological behavior was explained by the physically cross-linked or interpenetrating hydrocolloid network established during SDF self-aggregation, dependent on its molecular structure. The results indicated that the SDF fractions exhibiting a high molecular weight and a lower substitution degree and di-substituted ratio led to more significant aggregation due to the formation of disordered tangles coupled with a more solid-like behavior. The obtained information will prove useful for the development of more stable and compatible SDF fractions.
