Aspen Tension Wood Fibers Contain β-(1→4)-Galactans and Acidic Arabinogalactans Retained by Cellulose Microfibrils in Gelatinous Walls [PDF]

, 2013
Contractile cell walls are found in various plant organs and tissues such as tendrils, contractile roots, and tension wood. The tension-generating mechanism is not known but is thought to involve special cell wall architecture.

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

Heliyon, 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.

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

The 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 ...

Chemical characterization and antioxidant activity of sulfated polysaccharide from the red seaweed Gracilaria birdiae [PDF]

, 2012
Hydrocolloids from seaweeds have interesting functional properties, such as antioxidant activity and gelling ability. A polysaccharide was isolated by aqueous extraction at 90 C from the red seaweed Gracilaria birdiae (Gb), with a yield of 27.2% of the ...
