This statement is also supported by Majzoobi, Pashangeh, and Asgar Farahnaky (2013) who added bran in cake mixtures and claimed that the hydrocolloids present in the bran may also interact with the biopolymers present naturally in the flour (starch, pro-teins, and pentosans) and form a network which can trap some water, reducing the fluidity of the batter.
