Chemical and physical characterization of guar galactomannan extracted from guar seeds [PDF]

, 2022
Guar is becoming a highly valuable crop for West Texas due to its drought tolerance and potential use in hydraulic fracturing in shale gas and oil harvesting. Guar gum is chemically known as galactomannan, a heteropolysaccharide of galactose and mannose.

Aspergillus coinfection in critically Ill patients with severe dengue

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2023
In 2014–2015, a significant outbreak of dengue fever occurred in southern Taiwan, with a subsequent decline in dengue incidence. Despite this, there is emerging concern about virus-associated aspergillosis, yet limited research has explored coinfections ...

Prognostic Value of Serum and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Galactomannan Levels in Invasive Aspergillosis: An 8-Year Experience at a Tertiary Cancer Center

Journal of Fungi
Background: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening fungal infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals and has high morbidity and mortality rates, necessitating timely diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the

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.

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,

Optimization and evaluation of textural properties of ultra-filtrated low-fat cheese containing galactomannan and Novagel gum

Mljekarstvo, 2019
The general aim of this research was to optimise textural properties and to evaluate the possibility of producing ultra-filtrated low-fat cheese (7-9 % (w/w)), containing various concentrations of galactomannan and Novagel (0.1-0.5 % w/w), and assessing ...

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.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and
