Corn fiber gum (CFG) was a novel arabinoxylan hydrocolloid and recent researches showed its considerable
potential in food processing. In this study, the interactions of maize starch and CFG were studied.
Maize starch/CFG blend gels were prepared from maize starch suspension mixing with 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%,
1.0% (w/w) CFG. The pasting and thermal properties, rheological properties, microstructure, leached
amylose and swelling power characteristics were evaluated. Compared with the reference, CFG addition
lowered peak viscosity and breakdown of the composite system, but increased final viscosity in
