Glucan Phosphorylase‐Catalyzed Enzymatic Synthesis of a New Unnatural Heteroaminopolysaccharide, Glucosamino‐2‐deoxyglucan, and Its N‐Benzylation for pH Responsive Property

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
A new unnatural heteroaminopolysaccahride, that is, α(1→$1{\to} $4)‐linked glucosamino‐2‐deoxyglucan, is successfully synthesized by thermostable glucan phosphorylase (from Aquifex aeolicus VF5)‐catalyzed enzymatic copolymerization of α‐d‐glucosamine 1‐phosphate/‐glucal as comonomers from maltotriose as a primer.

Sustainable Shell Formulations as Alternative to the Conventional Soft Gelatin Capsules in Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Applications. A Review.

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
In soft capsules (SCs), four crucial factors can modify the properties of the shell: the shell formulation, its interaction with the fill material, the SC production and its storage conditions. Gelatin is the most used gelling agent for SCs nowadays, but they have some drawbacks which can be solved including other alternative polymers in the shell ...

MARTINI Coarse-grained Force Field for Thermoplastic Starch Nanocomposites [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an excellent film-forming material, and adding fillers such as tetramethylammonium-montmorillonite (TMA-MMT) clay has significantly expanded its use in packaging applications. We first used all-atom (AA) simulation to predict several macroscopic (Young modulus, glass transition temperature, density) and microscopic ...

Evaluation of some properties of starch and starch edible films from sub-utilized roots and tubers from the Venezuelan Amazons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Biopolymers extracted from agricultural starchy commodities can be raw materials for edible, biologically degradable plastics. They have promising uses, having been proposed for replacing synthetic films.

High Amylose Starch with Low In Vitro Digestibility Stimulates Hindgut Fermentation and Has a Bifidogenic Effect in Weaned Pigs.

open access: yesJournal of NutriLife, 2015
BACKGROUND Dietary amylose resists enzymatic digestion, thereby providing a substrate for microbial fermentation that stimulates proliferation of beneficial microbiota and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the large intestine of pigs and ...

But does it taste good? A plea to consider the importance of flavor in managing plant genetic resources

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop genetic resources, particularly seeds held in ex situ germplasm collections, have enormous value in breeding climate‐resilient crops. Much of this value accrues from information associated with germplasm accessions. Here, we argue that flavor, culinary attributes, and other traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) are important characteristics ...
