New functional tissues induced by a galling lepidopteran on stems of Marcetia taxifolia (Melastomataceae): An analysis based on cell wall composition and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica
The plant cell walls are dynamic structures, whose pectin composition varies according to the developmental and functional stages and in response to external factors.

Galactanases and Mannanases Improve the Nutritive Value of Maize and Soybean Meal Based Diets for Broiler Chicks

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2006
Maize and soybean meal are the most common ingredients in diets for monogastric animals. Although maize is low in anti-nutritive factors, soybean meal often contains significant levels of soluble galactans, mannans or oligosaccharides of the raffinose ...

Impact of short-term heat treatment on the structure and functional properties of commercial furcellaran compared to commercial carrageenans

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
In the production of biopolymers, the processing operations (e.g. extraction and drying) involve some degradation of the polysaccharide-causing structural and functional changes in final products.

Galactans of (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) of Indian Waters

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2014
Galactans from the Indian agarophyte Gracilaria pudumadamensis were extracted and characterized. The isolated native (GP Native ) and alkali treated (GP Alkali ) galactans were characterized by IR, 13 C NMR, GC-MS and GPC. It was found that GP Native and

Galactan synthesis in a single step via oligomerization of monosaccharides

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014
Galactans ranging in length from one to five residues were prepared in a single step by treatment of the glycosyl donor 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride with lanthanum perchlorate in the presence of an initiator alcohol.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond
