Makapuno Coconut: A Potential New Commercial Source of Galactomannan
CORD, 2010 Novel uses of Makapuno mutant coconut were explored. The focus was on the endosperm, which is rich in galactomannan as compared with that of the normal coconut.

Upgrading the Nutritional Value of PKC Using a Bacillus subtilis Derived Monocomponent β-Mannanase
Molecules, 2022 Palm kernel cake (PKC) is an abundant side stream that can only be added to non-ruminant feed in small concentrations due to its content of antinutritional factors, mainly galactomannan, which cannot be digested by non-ruminants.

Pharmaceutical use of galactomannans [PDF]
Química Nova, 2011 The pharmaceutical use of galactomannans from different sources, commercial and noncommercial, has been extensively studied over the past decade. Galactomannans show potential in the global trend towards the use of more plant-based products for ecological motives, and their production and application do not cause pollution or disturb the ecosystem ...

Investigating plant galactomannans [PDF]
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2002 AbstractThis paper presents a review of biological importance and occurrence of galactomannan in plants. Its chemical composition and structure are reviewed, and a short laboratory practical exercise on the isolation and determination of D‐mannose/D‐galactose ratio of plant galactomannan is presented.

Galactomannan use in clinical practice: providing free testing is not the full answer
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018 Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis is a condition associated with a high mortality rate mostly due to difficulties in performing an early diagnosis. In recent years, galactomannan detection has markedly improved the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis,

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Facet‐engineered PVP‐capped CuFeSe2 nanocrystals exhibit potent, selective antifungal activity by strongly binding cell‐wall mannan, enabling vacuolar entry and organelle disruption. High‐index facets show superior mannan affinity, validated by theoretical calculations and experiments. CFS‐P induces vacuolar cavitation, mitochondrial abnormalities, and
