ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.Dehulling combined with twin‐screw extrusion improves the nutritional and functional properties of steam treated navy beans. Protein digestibility increases while phytic acid is reduced by 43% and trypsin inhibitors are inactivated. Enhanced expansion, solubility, and sensory quality highlight the potential of dehulled bean flours for developing ...

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

Research Progress on the Mechanism and Structure-Activity Relationship of β-Glucans in Regulating the Health Effects of Gut Microbiota [PDF]
Shipin Kexueβ-Glucans, dietary polysaccharides coming from a wide variety of sources, have been researched intensively. Being resistant to oral and gastrointestinal digestion, β-glucans can reach the colon where they are fermented by the gut microbiota, generating ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Healthy snacks formulated with food by‐products are gaining interest within the food industry. Decoction residues of Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle) retain thermostable polyphenols. Extruded snacks enriched with roselle showed a reduction in the expansion index as the roselle concentration increased.

Overview of (1→3)-β-D-glucan immunobiology
Mediators of Inflammation, 1997 Glucans are (1→3)-β-D-glucose polymers that are found in the cell wall of fungi, bacteria and plants. Glucans are known to stim ulate humoral and cell-mediated immunity in humans and animals.

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2004 b-Glucans, as biologically active polysaccharides, have been used for decades but only recently have become a focus of evolutionary studies. As b-glucans are shown to be active in all animal species studied - from earthworms to humans - we can safely conclude that b-glucan immunostimulation is one of the first defensive mechanisms active across the ...

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.The effect of pretreatment methods on the proximate content, antinutrient factors, antioxidant, and in vitro antidiabetic activities of elm oyster mushroom was studied. It was observed and statistically concluded that soaking in 0.5% salt solution for 5 min had the least deteriorating effect on the antioxidant and in vitro antidiabetic activities ...
