Medicinal importance of fungal beta-(1 -> 3), (1 -> 6)-glucans

, 2007
Non-cellulosic beta-glucans are now recognized as potent immunological activators, and some are used clinically in China and Japan. These beta-glucans consist of a backbone of glucose residues linked by beta-(1-->3)-glycosidic bonds, often with attached ...

Profiling of Dietary Fiber From Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Seed Hulls Pertaining to Monosaccharide Composition, Structural, Thermal, and Functional Properties

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (soluble/insoluble) was recovered from pumpkin seed hulls using hydrothermal extraction. Process parameters were optimized, and a comprehensive profiling of recovered fiber fractions was performed. ABSTRACT Insoluble (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) were recovered from pumpkin seed hulls (PSHs) using hydrothermal treatment ...

Stabilization Strategies for Catechins and Epicatechins: Recent Advances

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Oxidation, epimerization, polymerization, and hydrolysis, driven by heat, pH, and oxygen, are pathways. Nano‐/microencapsulation maintains integrity with 70%–95% efficiency; biopolymer nanoparticles, starch/polysaccharide nanocarriers improve stability and dispersion. Lipid nanocarriers enhance bioavailability but raise oxidation risk.
