Unravelling Rheology and Structural Properties of Polysaccharides from Porphyridium Purpureum After Alkali Pre‐Treatment

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
Porphyridium purpureum polysaccharides are established hydrocolloids among several microalgal biomolecules, however they only exhibit higher viscosity without gelling capacity. Therefore, this study chose to employ alkali pretreatment to Porphyridium purpureum to investigate whether controlled chemical modification could alter the molecular structure ...

Chitosan Oligosaccharide Reduces Propofol Requirements and Propofol-Related Side Effects

Marine Drugs, 2016
Propofol is one of the main sedatives but its negative side effects limit its clinical application. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a kind of natural product with anti-pain and anti-inflammatory activities, may be a potential adjuvant to propofol use.

Designing Protein Gels for Nutrient Delivery: From Formulation to Digestion

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein gels have diverse applications in food industry, with plant proteins as potential alternatives to animal‐derived products. The applications of protein gels mainly depend on gel properties while gel digestibility affects the delivery and release of nutrients. However, the relationship and synergistic influences among gelation mechanism,
