Galactomannan inhibits Trichinella spiralis invasion of intestinal epithelium cells and enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity related killing of larvae by driving macrophage polarization

Parasite
Previous studies have shown that recombinant Trichinella spiralis galectin (rTsgal) is characterized by a carbohydrate recognition domain sequence motif binding to beta-galactoside, and that rTsgal promotes larval invasion of intestinal epithelial cells.

Influence of galactomannan on the structure and thermal behaviour of xanthan/galactomannan mixtures [PDF]

Journal of Food Engineering, 1995
Mixed gels of xanthan gum and galactomannans (guar, whole and fractionated locust bean gum - LBG) were compared by means of oscillatory shear measurements. Whatever the LBG fraction, a synergistic maximum was observed when the ratio of xanthan to galactomannan was 1:1. However, the magnitude of this maximum varied with the LBG fraction used.

Galactomannan, a Surrogate Marker for Outcome in Invasive Aspergillosis: Finally Coming of Age

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Detection of galactomannan has become widely available for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis. The test characteristics, using the Platelia™ enzyme-immunoassay, have been well described. This assay could potentially also be useful for the early evaluation

Plasma-induced modification of fenugreek galactomannan thickener film via dielectric barrier discharge for textile printing

Scientific Reports
Fenugreek seeds are a valuable source of galactomannan, a natural thickener with applications in textile printing. However, traditional galactomannan extraction methods often suffer from lengthy processing times and limited yields.

Determination of the physical functionality of galactomannans in kappa-carrageenan/galactomannan mixed systems by periodate oxidation [PDF]

Food Chemistry, 1994
Galactomannan samples of different origins (guar gum, tara gum, and locust-bean gums), with mannose-to-galactose (M/G) ratios from 1.7 to 4.8, have been characterized. They exhibited strong differences with respect to their molecular weight and their fine structure (M/G). The different locust-bean-gum samples differed significantly in this respect from

Central Nervous System Aspergillosis: Advances in Diagnosis, Therapeutics, and Multidisciplinary Management (2026 Update). [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) aspergillosis is a life‐threatening infection with mortality rates exceeding 50%, especially in immunocompromised patients. Significant challenges persist due to limited antifungal drug penetration into the CNS, emerging resistance, and diagnostic delays, despite advancements in therapy and diagnostics ...

«Green» synthesis and characterization of galactomannan sulfates obtained using sulfamic acid [PDF]

, 2021
The “green” synthesis of galactomannan sulfates using a sulfamic acid–urea mixture has been studied for the first time. The effect of the time and temperature of the galactomannan sulfation process on the degree of substitution of galactomannan sulfates ...

Comparison of the Performance of Two Galactomannan Detection Tests: Platelia Aspergillus Ag and Aspergillus Galactomannan Ag Virclia Monotest [PDF]

, 2022
The use of nonculture-based biomarkers such as the determination of galactomannan is sought for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. To investigate the comparative yield of two tests for the detection of galactomannan in patients with or without ...

Extraction, Purification, Optimization, and Application of Galactomannan-Based Edible Coating Formulations for Guava Using Response Surface Methodology

Journal of Food Quality, 2022
Galactomannan from fenugreek and guar seeds were extracted, purified, and used in edible coatings, optimized via response surface methodology. The results showed that the emulsifying capacity and stability of fenugreek galactomannan (FG) and guar ...
