Gut Microbiota–Metabolism Axis Shapes the Individual Metabolic Phenotype of Different Microbiota‐Accessible Carbohydrates

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Specific MAC bioactivities are associated with gut biotransformation. ABSTRACT Increasing the intake of microbiota‐accessible carbohydrates (MACs) has emerged as a promising nutritional strategy for preventing metabolic diseases. However, the consistency of their beneficial effects remains unclear, hindering their optimized application.

Purification, Cloning, Characterization and Essential Amino Acid Residues Analysis of a New iota-Carrageenase from Cellulophaga sp QY3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ι-Carrageenases belong to family 82 of glycoside hydrolases that degrade sulfated galactans in the red algae known as ι-carrageenans. The catalytic mechanism and some substrate-binding residues of family GH82 have been studied but the substrate ...

Cold plasma‐induced modifications in the physico‐functional properties of glucan exopolysaccharide derived from Enterococcus hirae OL616073

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 24-36, March 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the influence of cold plasma treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of glucan exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Enterococcus hirae OL616073 isolated from idli batter. The glucan EPS was exposed to pin‐to‐plate atmospheric cold plasma at 170–230 V for 5–15 min, generating cold plasma‐treated glucan (CPTG ...

Characterization of rice starch- ι-carrageenan biodegradable edible film:effect of stearic acid on the film properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The main aim of this study was to develop rice starch (RS), ι-carrageenan (ι-car) based film. Different formulations of RS (1-4%, w/w), ι-car (0.5-2%, w/w) was blended with stearic acid (SA; 0.3-0.9%, w/w) and glycerol (1%, w/w) as a plasticizer.

Textural characterization of agar–agar and guar gum‐based hydrocolloids in vegan gummies: Effects of acid and sugar

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 37-46, March 2026.
Abstract This study explores the potential of replacing gelatin with vegan hydrocolloids as gelling agents in gummies. The goal was to create a gelatin‐free, vegan gummy using natural plant‐based hydrocolloids such as agar–agar and guar gum, which provide a chewy texture similar to gelatin.

Recent Progressions in Applications of Bioactive Polysaccharides in Food and Health Sciences: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Polysaccharides play a pivotal role in the development of safe and healthy foods. They ameliorate fatigue, preserve the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide health for the gut in living organisms. These biopolymers are applied for the fabrication of breakthrough drug delivery systems and potential platforms in regenerative medicine ...
