Hot Water Extraction of Corn Stover: Hemicellulose Fractionation and its Effect on Subsequent Soda-AQ Pulping

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
Fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass is an important process in producing biofuels. In this study, hot water extraction of corn stover hemicellulose was carried out at 150, 160, and 170 °C.

Comprehensive Genotoxicity and 28‐Day Oral Toxicity Evaluation Reveal Safety of a Standardized Anisomeles indica‐Containing Powder

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Anisomeles indica is widely used in traditional medicine and functional foods; however, its toxicological safety has not been systematically evaluated. This study evaluated the genotoxicity and subacute oral toxicity of a standardized A. indica‐containing powder (AIHP) using OECD‐compliant test guidelines.

Autohydrolysis of agricultural by-products for the production of xylo-oligosaccharides [PDF]

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymers, 2007
Six agricultural residues of different botanic origin, namely corncobs (CC), almond shells (AS), olive stones (OS), rice husks (RH), wheat straw (WS), and barley straw (BS), were tested as feedstocks for the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOs) by autohydrolysis at 179 °C for 23 min.

Effect of Lignin, Humins, and Biomass‐Derived Acids on Kinetics of Catalytic Hydroxymethylfurfural Production during Saccharide Dehydration Reactions

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 24, December 13, 2025.
(Hemi)celluloses, abundant in lignocellulosic biomass, can be hydrolyzed and dehydrated into furanics like 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF) and levulinic acid. Despite its potential, 5‐HMF production remains limited by inefficiencies, notably humin formation.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Effectiveness of dietary xylo-oligosaccharides for broilers fed a conventional corn-soybean meal diet

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) on growth performance, meat quality, immune functions, duodenal morphology and intestinal microbial populations of broilers fed a conventional

Suppression of xylan endotransglycosylase PtxtXyn10A affects cellulose microfibril angle in secondary wall in aspen wood. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Certain xylanases from family GH10 are highly expressed during secondary wall deposition, but their function is unknown. We carried out functional analyses of the secondary-wall specific PtxtXyn10A in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula × tremuloides ...

T‐2 Toxin Exploits Gut‐Derived Staphylococcus Saprophyticus to Disrupt Hepatic Macrophage Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
T‐2 toxin promotes the proliferation of intestinal S. saprophyticus and facilitates its translocation to the liver in piglets and mice. The translocated bacteria trigger autophagy in Kupffer cells and recruit monocytes to the liver through the nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) signaling pathway, alongside the M1 polarization of hepatic

Application of Xylo-oligosaccharide in modifying human intestinal function

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Microbiology Research, 2012
The influence of Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOs) to human intestinal flora, feces shape and properties was observed. The most tolerance administration dose (MTD) was determined, which provided guidance to the XOs oral dosage. Different doses of XOs were given to a designated group of healthy volunteers.
