Moisturizing and aroma enhancing effects of polysaccharides during pyrolysis

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2023
The objective of this research was to investigate the moisturizing and aroma enhancing effects of polysaccharides (methylcellulose (MC), locust bean gum (LBG), ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP), lotus seed polysaccharides (LSP), tea polysaccharides

Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Injectable Chitosan–Guar Gum Hydrogel Reinforced with Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers for Tissue Engineering Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the development and characterization of injectable nanocomposite hydrogels based on N‐succinyl chitosan, oxidized guar gum, and bacterial cellulose nanofibers. Emphasizing enhanced mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the hydrogels exhibit fast gelation, improved structural integrity, and reduced swelling. Their potential for

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in urine samples is relevant to pharmacokinetic studies in drug development projects and to the non-invasive diagnosis and therapy monitoring of mucopolysaccharidoses. The Heparin Red Kit is a particularly simple and user friendly fluorescence assay for the quantification of sulfated polysaccharides and has ...

Ice-templating beet-root pectin foams: Controlling texture, mechanics and capillary properties [PDF]

, 2018
Sugar beet pectin is a byproduct of the sugar industry with a particularly low gelling power which hinders its application as gelling agent and thickener. Here we consider the use of freeze casting to shape sugar beet pectin into lightweight foams.

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in mouse and rat plasma by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Sulfated polysaccharides constitute a large and complex group of macromolecules which possess a wide range of important biological properties. Many of them hold promise as new therapeutics, but determination of their blood levels during pharmacokinetic studies can be challenging.

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...

Degradation Kinetics of Ascorbic Acid in Xanthan Gum Solution

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Ascorbic acid (AA) reacts with polysaccharides, resulting in changes in the rheological and structural properties of the polysaccharides. However, the degradation characteristics of AA and its degradation kinetics during this reaction require further ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Stress management in composite biopolymer networks [PDF]

, 2018
Living tissues show an extraordinary adaptiveness to strain, which is crucial for their proper biological functioning. The physical origin of this mechanical behaviour has been widely investigated using reconstituted networks of collagen fibres, the principal load-bearing component of tissues.
