Xylooligosaccharides: manufacture and applications

Trends in Food Science & Technology, 2000
Xylooligosaccharides (sugar oligomers made up of xylose units) are useful for a variety of purposes. This article reviews the production of xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulosic materials (by chemical or enzymatic methods) and the purification of the end products, as well as their application as food ingredients, with special attention to the ...

Physicochemical properties of cookies enriched with xylooligosaccharides

Food Science and Technology International, 2015
The growing commercial importance of xylooligosaccharides is based on their beneficial health properties, particularly their ability to stimulate the growth and activity of intestinal bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species. Xylooligosaccharides are less sweet, acid, and heat stable, with low recommended levels of intake compared to ...

Xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass: A comprehensive review

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2021
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), produced from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB), are short-chain polymers with prebiotic activity which, in the last few decades, have gained commercial interest due to their potential application as ingredients for the nutraceutical industry.

The hydrolysis of xylan and xylooligosaccharides by ruminal enzymes

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1957
Abstract Xylan is hydrolyzed to a mixture of xylooligosaccharides by enzymes in the rumen of the bovine. A random hydrolysis of the xylosidic bonds of xylan, xylotetraose, xylotriose, and xylobiose is effected. Several bacterial cultures obtained from the rumen contents were shown to produce xylan-hydrolyzing enzymes.

Enzymatic production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) have been shown to have prebiotic activities and therefore have beneficial effects on human and animal health. Production of these oligosaccharides from xylan often results in diverse mixtures, largely due to the variation in the xylan structure and the substrate specificities of the enzymes used to generate them.

Recent advances in the enzymatic production and applications of xylooligosaccharides

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021
The majority of lignocellulosic biomass on the planet originates from plant cell walls, which are complex structures build up mainly by cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The largest part of hemicellulose, xylan, is a polymer with a β-(1→4)-linked xylose residues backbone decorated with α-D-glucopyranosyl uronic acids and/or L-arabinofuranose ...

Evaluating the addition of xylooligosaccharides into alginate-gelatin hydrogels

Food Research International, 2021
Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are emerging prebiotic that may improve structural features of biopolymer blends. The investigation around the conformation of XOS into the matrix of alginate and gelatin clarifies the potential applications of this formulation in the food industry as texture modifiers or encapsulation systems.

Xylooligosaccharides Production from Arundo donax

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007
Samples of Arundo donax were subjected to isothermal autohydrolysis, defined by temperature, 150-195 degrees C; time, 0-15 h; and liquor to solid ratio, 8 g/g. The effect of the operational variables on the yield and composition of both liquid and solid phases obtained after the treatments has been studied.

Membrane-Assisted Processing of Xylooligosaccharide-Containing Liquors

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2006
Liquors from rice husk autohydrolyis, containing xylooligosaccharides, other saccharides, and nonsaccharide compounds, were subjected to two selected processing schemes to increase the proportion of substituted xylooligosaccharides in refined liquors. Nanofiltration through a ceramic membrane with a molecular mass cutoff of 1000 Da allowed simultaneous

Enzymatic Production of Xylooligosaccharides from Cotton Stalks

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007
Xylooligosaccharide (XO) production was performed from xylan, which was obtained by alkali extraction from cotton stalk, a major agricultural waste in Turkey. Enzymatic hydrolysis was selected to prevent byproduct formation such as xylose and furfural.
