Multi-environment evaluation of raffinose-family oligosaccharide content in diverse dry bean varieties and their reduction upon canning. [PDF]
J Sci Food AgricAbstract BACKGROUND The substantial amount of raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO) in dry beans causes flatulence and digestive discomfort, limiting the appeal of dry bean food products. Substantial variation exists in RFO content among dry bean varieties, and various food processing steps such as soaking and canning are known to reduce RFO levels ...

Stereoselective Total Synthesis of α-Galacto-Oligosaccharides Using Boron-Mediated Aglycon Delivery and Evaluation of their Immune-Enhancing Activities. [PDF]
ChembiochemThis study reports the total synthesis of α‐galacto‐oligosaccharides (α‐GOSs) 1‐6 with different galactose chain lengths was achieved by the boron‐mediated aglycon delivery , and their immune‐enhancing activities in macrophage J774.1 cells. The results indicate that α‐GOS 2 exhibits the highest promotion of macrophage phagocytosis and increasing ...
