Background and Rationale
Rice husk is the rice milling industrial by-product gained in a huge amount. It is rich in lignocelluloses, previously found at 22% of cellulose content and 23% of hemicellulose content. These lignocellulosic materials have been used widely for oligosaccharide productions. 
Objectives: Indicates the purpose of the study
In this study, we investigated the effects of alkali pretreatment and acid debranching on changing of arabinoxylan and arabinose/xylose ratio including the ability of commercial xylanases to produce xylooligosaccharides rice husk. The lactic acid bacteria growth promotion of the oligosaccharides was also observed.
Methodology: Describe pertinent experimental procedures

Firstly, rice husk was treated with 2% NaOH and diluted formic acid. The total sugar contents of the alkali-pretreated and acid- debranched rice husk was measured. At the same time, the xylose, arabinose, glucose, galactose and mannose content, the arabinose/xylose ratio (A/X) and arabinoxylan contents were also determined by HPLC analysis. Then, the commercial xylanases were used to produce oligosaccharides (pH 6, 50°C, 4 h). Thin Layer Chromatography and High Performance Anion Exchange chromatography - Pulsed Amperometric Detection were performed to confirm the oligosaccharides profile of the products. The hydrolysate was used as a single carbon source for evaluation of the growth promotion effect on lactic acid bacteria.

Results: Summarize the results of the research
The yields of alkali-pretreated rice husk were decreased to 68.7%, while the total sugar content was increased from 19.9% to 28.0%. The total sugar content of acid-debranched rice husk was also increased up to 4%. Besides, the alkali pretreatment decreased A/X ratio from 0.14 to 0.13 whereas the arabinoxylan content was increased from 11.5% to 18.6%. Distinguishably, xylobiose was produced by using commercial endoxylanases. The hydrolysate could promote the growth of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteiria. 
Conclusions: State the main conclusions
This study has proved the possibility of using rice husk as a source of oligosaccharide production.
