Recent Progressions in Applications of Bioactive Polysaccharides in Food and Health Sciences: A Comprehensive Review. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Polysaccharides play a pivotal role in the development of safe and healthy foods. They ameliorate fatigue, preserve the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide health for the gut in living organisms. These biopolymers are applied for the fabrication of breakthrough drug delivery systems and potential platforms in regenerative medicine ...
