Structure and anticoagulant activity of sulfated galactans. Isolation of a unique sulfated galactan from the red algae Botryocladia occidentalis and comparison of its anticoagulant action with that of sulfated galactans from invertebrates.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2000
We have characterized the structure of a sulfated d-galactan from the red algae Botryocladia occidentalis. The following repeating structure (-4-alpha-d-Galp-1-->3-beta-d-Galp-1-->) was found for this polysaccharide, but with a variable sulfation pattern.

Gut Microbiota–Metabolism Axis Shapes the Individual Metabolic Phenotype of Different Microbiota‐Accessible Carbohydrates

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Specific MAC bioactivities are associated with gut biotransformation. ABSTRACT Increasing the intake of microbiota‐accessible carbohydrates (MACs) has emerged as a promising nutritional strategy for preventing metabolic diseases. However, the consistency of their beneficial effects remains unclear, hindering their optimized application.

Textural characterization of agar–agar and guar gum‐based hydrocolloids in vegan gummies: Effects of acid and sugar

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 37-46, March 2026.
Abstract This study explores the potential of replacing gelatin with vegan hydrocolloids as gelling agents in gummies. The goal was to create a gelatin‐free, vegan gummy using natural plant‐based hydrocolloids such as agar–agar and guar gum, which provide a chewy texture similar to gelatin.
