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 ...

Anti-inflammatory potential of ulvan

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023
Green seaweeds are a widespread group of marine macroalgae that could be regarded as biorenewable source of valuable compounds, in particular sulfated polysaccharides like ulvans with interesting biological properties. Among them, anti-inflammatory activity represents an interesting target, since ulvans could potentially avoid side effects of ...

Ulvans are Not Equal - Linkage and Substitution Patterns in Ulvan Polysaccharides Differ with Ulva Morphology

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2023
Ulva are hardy green seaweeds that contain the sulfated polysaccharide ulvan and grow in two distinct morphologies: foliose and tubular. The authors hypothesise that ulvan from tubular species are more structurally complex than ulvans from foliose species.

Nisin-Loaded Ulvan Particles: Preparation and Characterization [PDF]

Foods, 2021
Nisin is an attractive alternative to chemical preservatives in the food industry. It is a cationic peptide of 34 amino acid residues that exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. To ensure nisin stability in food matrices, new nisin-loaded ulvan particles were developed by the complexation method.

Effects of Dietary Marine Sulfated Polysaccharides Derived From Macroalgae on Intestinal Health of Nursery Pigs. [PDF]

Anim Sci J
ABSTRACT Post‐weaning stress in pigs leads to intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress. Macroalgae has gained attention with anti‐inflammatory and anti‐oxidative properties to mitigate these negative impacts. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from marine macroalgae (Ulva spp.

In Situ Release of Ulvan from Crosslinked Ulvan/Chitosan Complex Films and Their Evaluation as Wound Dressings

Polymers, 2022
When a wound forms due to any injuries, it should be covered with a functional wound dressing for accelerating wound healing and reducing infection. In this study, crosslinked ulvan/chitosan complex films were prepared with or without the addition of glycerol and chlorophyll, and their wound healing properties were evaluated for potential application ...
