Biopolymer composites from agri‐food wastes and by‐products: valorization, fabrication, and food related applications

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Agri‐food wastes and by‐products are transformed into sustainable biopolymer composites through extraction, modification, and advanced fabrication technologies. These value‐added materials exhibit enhanced mechanical, barrier, antimicrobial, and biodegradable properties, enabling applications in food packaging, edible coatings, and preservation systems

High molecular weight barley β-glucan alters gut microbiota toward reduced cardiovascular disease risk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The physiological cholesterol-lowering benefits of β-glucan have been well documented, however, whether modulation of gut microbiota by β-glucan is associated with these physiological effects remains unknown.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Enzymes that catalyze cyclization of β-1,2-glucans

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
β-1,2-Glucans are physiologically important polymers for interactions such as symbiosis and pathogenesis between organisms and adaptation to environmental changes. However, rarity of β-1,2-glucans in nature limits exploration of related enzymes. Recently,

Disease resistance of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887) fed with β-glucan

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Effects of β-glucan on innate immune responses and survival were studied in pacu experimentally infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish fed diets containing 0, 0.1% and 1% β-glucan were injected with A. hydrophila.

Binding of soluble yeast β-glucan to human neutrophils and monocytes is complement- dependent

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
The immunomodulatory properties of yeast β-1,3/1,6 glucans are mediated through their ability to be recognized by human innate immune cells. While several studies have investigated binding of opsonized and unopsonized particulate β-glucans to human ...

Effect of 6 weeks' consumption of β-glucan-rich oat products on cholesterol levels in mildly hypercholesterolaemic overweight adults

, 2012
Several regulatory bodies have approved a health claim on the cholesterol-lowering effects of oat β-glucan at levels of 3·0 g/d. The present study aimed to test whether 1·5 g/d β-glucan provided as ready-to-eat oat flakes was as effective in lowering ...

β-glucan content and β-glucanase activity of winter and spring malting barley cultivars [PDF]

, 2015
β-Glucan content and β-glucanase activity of winter and spring barley cultivars grown under different environments were evaluated. There were significant differences in both β-glucan content and β-glucanase activity between analysed barleys.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
