Exploring Plant Agro‐Industrial By‐Products as a Source of Fibrous Food Ingredients: A Review of Extraction Methods and Technological Properties

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The agro‐industrial sector generates a large amount of by‐products, and researchers have been seeking new ways to use them, especially those of plant origin. The concept of biorefinery and circular bioeconomy aims to enhance and maximize the use of organic ingredients, emphasizing the use of renewable and sustainable materials.

Drug targets in Mycobacterium tuberculosis α-glucan synthesis [PDF]

, 2017
α-Glucans are important energy storage polysaccharides in bacteria, plants and animals. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, α-glucan also functions as a virulence factor that is exported to the mycobacterial capsule and interacts with human immune receptors ...

New insights into bryophyte arabinogalactan‐proteins from a hornwort and a moss model organism

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 1, July 2025.
SUMMARY Two bryophyte models, the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis (Anthoceros) and the moss Physcomitrium patens (Physcomitrium), were analyzed for the presence of arabinogalactan‐proteins (AGPs), as the emergence of these signaling glycoproteins in evolution is still under debate.

Deep sequencing reveals the complex and coordinated transcriptional regulation of genes related to grain quality in rice cultivars [PDF]

, 2011
Background Milling yield and eating quality are two important grain quality traits in rice. To identify the genes involved in these two traits, we performed a deep transcriptional analysis of developing seeds using both massively parallel signature ...

Modified Polysaccharides in Laundry Applications as Soil Release and Anti‐Redeposition Additives

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 22, June 10, 2025.
ABSTRACT Polymers play an important role within modern laundry formulations, enhancing their cleaning performance by aiding in the release of soil from textiles and helping to prevent soil resettling upon the textiles during washing. Most of these polymers are derived from non‐renewable petrochemical sources; however, a combination of factors ...

Exploring the bio‐functional potential of polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta: A mini review

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 170-181, June 2025.
Abstract Polysaccharides, natural polymers of monosaccharides, exhibit diverse biological activities due to their molecular structures and functional properties. Morchella esculenta, a precious edible mushroom with higher market value, is also rich in polysaccharides (MEP) and holds potential as a bioactive compound with therapeutic and functional food

Development of a Simple Protocol to Assess Glucose Release After In Vitro Digestion, Allowing Comparison of Starchy Foods

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
A simple and reliable protocol has been developed to evaluate glucose release after in vitro digestion and compare some commercial starchy foods available on the market in two forms produced by the same company, one of which is rich in fiber. Excluding flours, the lowest and highest amounts of glucose release were detected in durum wheat pasta and ...
