Wheat bran extract (WBE) is a food-grade preparation that is highly enriched in arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides. As part of the safety evaluation of WBE, its genotoxic potential was assessed in a bacterial reverse mutagenicity assay (Ames test) and a chromosome aberration assay on Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells. These in vitro genotoxicity assays showed no evidence of mutagenic or clastogenic activity with WBE. The safety of WBE was furthermore evaluated in a subchronic toxicity study on rats that were fed a semisynthetic diet (AIN 93G) containing 0.3%, 1.5%, or 7.5% WBE for 13 weeks, corresponding to an average intake of 0.2, 0.9, and 4.4 g/kg body weight (bw) per day, with control groups receiving the unsupplemented AIN 93G, AIN 93G with 7.5% inulin, or AIN 93G with 7.5% wheat bran. Based on this rat-feeding study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for WBE was determined as 4.4 g/kg (bw)/d, the highest dose tested.
