We perfected nature’s best soluble dietary fiber, arabinoxylan, in our proprietary line of ARRABINA® dietary fibers.
The multiple grades of fully soluble dietary fiber powders fit every formulation need because they are:

ARRABINA was specifically developed to fill the market need for a low-dose prebiotic fiber that can be used in a wide array of food and beverage applications with no trade-offs in terms of cost, taste or performance.
Coffee, tea, beverages
Protein powders, gummies, supplements
Baked goods, snacks, bars
Chocolate & confectionery
With its excellent solubility, low viscosity and low inclusion rate, ARRABINA® offers an easy way for manufacturers to create delicious products while strengthening nutrition labels and sustainability claims.
Arrabina, a soluble dietary fiber, makes it possible to increase fiber in baked goods without sacrificing the quality of the finished product, including aroma, flavor, or texture. Arrabina allows bakers to give consumers better-for-you baked goods that still deliver indulgence without compromising a clean ingredient list.
Arrabina offers a solution to help the candy industry develop great-tasting chocolate and confectionery products with reduced sugar, fewer calories and a functional ingredient boost. By incorporating prebiotic fiber into their products, confectioners can tap into consumers’ interest in reducing their sugar intake while also address interest in gut health.
Consumers are pill-fatigued and looking for more functional health benefits in the foods and beverages already a part of their daily routine. Arrabina, a soluble dietary fiber, makes it easy to add prebiotic dietary fiber to consumers’ favorite coffee drinks thanks to its excellent solubility, stability in high-temperature and low-pH solutions, and low inclusion rate.
Interest in both functional beverages and digestive health has been bubbling up for the last several years, creating the perfect opportunity for functional beverages with prebiotic fiber. The drinks provide consumers with the taste they crave and the health benefits of prebiotic dietary fiber. Arrabina’s multiple grades of fully soluble powders have excellent stability in solution with no gritty texture, even in low pH and the high heat conditions of pasteurization or retort processes.
The gummy supplement market is innovating in flavors, ingredients, and functional benefits to address consumers’ top health and wellness needs. Given consumers’ strong interest in digestive health, there is ample opportunity for prebiotic gummy innovation. Arrabina makes it easy to add gut health benefits to gummies –– without adding a large serving size. A low serving size of only 3 gummies made with our ARRABINA®, a soluble dietary fiber, is clinically proven to promote the growth of bifidobacteria in the gut.
Arrabina makes it easy to formulate protein powders that are high in fiber and taste great, making it a
treat rather than a chore to consume protein and fiber. The fully soluble powder boasts excellent
stability in solution and no gritty texture. In addition, Arrabina is gentle on the stomach, even at a 15-
gram serving size.
No matter the snack format, Arrabina’s versatility allows for seamless integration into existing recipes.
Heat and pH resistant, fully soluble, and boasting a neutral taste, Arrabina elevates both taste and
health benefits. Arrabina can reduce sugar content in products while maintaining the sweetness and
overall flavor profile your customers love.
ARRABINA is an arabinoxylan prebiotic power ingredient, a clinically-studied and FDA-recognized fiber, with well-established health benefits.
Results from a double-blind, randomized clinical trial confirm the superior GI tolerability of ARRABINA. The clinical trial was administered by a leading third party research organization Biofortis. It consisted of 36 healthy individuals who consumed ARRABINA at 7.5 grams or 15 grams per day or a placebo.
Participants ranked eight areas for gut and bowel discomfort including gas, bloating, and nausea to compare any potential differences in GI tolerance of the three treatments. Results show that even at a high dosage of 15 grams per day, there were no statistical differences in GI distress between the participants taking ARRABINA versus those taking the placebo.
The results were published in the academic journal Developments in Current Nutrition and presented at the American Society of Nutrition conference.
No significant difference from placebo in GI symptoms after one week of daily use2
Using Cryptobiotix’s ex-vivo SIFR® technology, the impact of Arrabina on metabolite production (key fermentation parameters (pH, gas, SCFA, bCFA)) and microbial composition (shallow-shotgun sequencing) of the gut microbiota of 6 different donors was assessed after 24 hours.
Arrabina P at 3/4/5/8 g ram doses and Arrabina V at 2/3/5 gram doses were tested against a no-substrate control and the reference prebiotic inulin at a 5 gram dose.Results show that Arrabina V and Arrabina P significantly decreased pH, bCFA and stimulated the production of gas, acetate, propionate, butyrate (and thus, total SCFA). The effects were stronger as test doses increased, potentially resulting in a series of health benefits for the host.
Within the tested range of 2-8 g/day, both grades were highly effective in stimulating SCFA production.
Comparing Arrabina V/Arrabina P to inulin at the same dose (5 g) showed that Arrabina P and especially Arrabina V exhibited significantly higher total SCFA production. Further, while Arrabina V and inulin more strongly stimulated butyrate, Arrabina P specifically boosted propionate.

Arabinoxylan is abundant in nature. In fact, it makes up about 70% of the soluble fiber naturally found in grains3. Yet large quantities of processed whole grains are needed for a single serving size of soluble arabinoxylan fiber.
~ 3.4 grams1
ONLY COMET solved this problem using our patented upcycling technology to unlock arabinoxylan’s potential and make it available in our line of ARRABINA soluble dietary fibers. ARRABINA makes it easy to add the clinically proven benefits of arabinoxylan to ANY food/beverage/supplement application.
