Determination of chain conformation of polysaccharides using a SEC‐MALLS‐Vis

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract For polysaccharides, biological activity is associated with the chemical structure as well as the chain conformation. The chain conformation is conventionally derived from the scaling relationships between weight‐average molecular weight (Mw) and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) or the radius of gyration (Rg) or the translational diffusion ...

IL-1 regulates the IL-23 response to wheat gliadin, the etiologic agent of Celiac Disease [PDF]

, 2008
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease prevalent in ~1% of the general population. CD is unique because both the major genetic (Human Leukocyte Antigen-DQ2/DQ8 alleles) and etiologic factors (dietary glutens) for susceptibility are known.

Glucanocellulosic ethanol: The undiscovered biofuel potential in energy crops and marine biomass [PDF]

, 2015
Converting biomass to biofuels is a key strategy in substituting fossil fuels to mitigate climate change. Conventional strategies to convert lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol address the fermentation of cellulose-derived glucose.

Mechanisms for the encapsulation of lipophilic polyphenols in protein/polysaccharide complexes or conjugates‐based nanocarriers

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditional heat processing technology restricts the direct development of lipophilic polyphenols (LPPs)‐fortified foods. For achieving a balance between high retention of biological activity and optimal edible quality, encapsulation of LPPs by proteins/polysaccharide complexes or conjugates‐based nanocarriers (PPCCNs) as food ingredients has ...

Qualitative and quantitative estimation of beta-glucan (β-1,3-glucan) extracted from keratitis causing Fusarium spp.

The Microbe
Keratitis is a corneal inflammation caused by invasion of the epithelium, stroma, and endothelium. Fusarium is the predominant fungal pathogen associated with keratitis, with β-1,3-glucan may contribute to species-complex specific inflammatory responses ...

The role of octadecanoids and functional mimics in soybean defense responses [PDF]

, 2003
Oxylipins of the jasmonate pathway and synthetic functional analogs have been analyzed for their elicitor like activities in an assay based on the induced accumulation of glyceollins, the phytoalexins of soybean (Glycine max L.), in cell suspension ...

Effects of yeast polysaccharides on the quality of wheat dough and toast

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This study assessed how the soluble yeast polysaccharide (SYP) affected the physicochemical, pasting, and rheological properties of the wheat flour as well as the texture, the visual appearance, and the sensory evaluation of the toast.

β-1,6-Glucan plays a central role in the structure and remodeling of the bilaminate fungal cell wall

eLife
The cell wall of human fungal pathogens plays critical roles as an architectural scaffold and as a target and modulator of the host immune response. Although the cell wall of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is intensively studied, one of the major ...
