The impact of supplementation with dietary fibers on weight loss: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials
Publication date: April 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre, Volume 14Author(s): Kia Yong Chew, Iain A. BrownleeAbstractThe prevalence of excess body weight has significantly increased, with recent estimates suggesting 1.9 billion people are overweight or obese worldwide. While intake of dietary fiber (mainly from plant-based foods) is associated with improved weight management over time, it is uncertain whether dietary fiber isolates will benefit weight loss. The present study aimed to systematically assess the current evidence that dietary fiber supplementation can impact on weight loss in overweight ad...

Dietary fibre for glycaemia control: Towards a mechanistic understanding
Publication date: April 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre, Volume 14Author(s): H. Douglas Goff, Nikolay Repin, Hrvoje Fabek, Dalia El Khoury, Michael J. GidleyAbstractOne of the many functional benefits of dietary fibre when present in the human diet is its ability to reduce the rate of absorption of glucose after consumption of high glycaemic carbohydrate-containing foods, leading to a blunted blood glucose response curve and less demand for insulin. Glycaemia control through dietary intervention is of significant importance to those at high risk for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D), or those with Impair...

Encapsulation of D-limonene in Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum nanocapsules by emulsion electrospraying: morphology characterization and stability assessment
Publication date: Available online 16 March 2018 Source:Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre Author(s): Khadije Khoshakhlagh, Mohebbat Mohebbi, Arash Koocheki, Alireza Allafchian The main purpose of this research was nanoencapsulation of D-limonene with Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum (AHSG) using electrospraying process. For this purpose it was necessary to identify and optimize the factors affecting the morphology of electrosprayed nanocapsules. To this aim, D-limonene emulsions with various concentrations of AHSG and Tween 20 were homogenized by ultrasound or high speed homogenizer and electrosprayed under diff...

Optimization of culture conditions for kefiran production in whey: The structural and biocidal properties of the resulting polysaccharide
In this study, the culture conditions necessary for the effective production of kefiran, using whey as a substrate, were evaluated through the one-factor-at-a-time and central-composite design methods. Using the optimal factors (whey supplemented with 15% (w/v) glucose fermented at 30°C for 10h without shaking), 0.20g·L−1·h−1 kefir grains composed of 18.57% (w/w) kefiran was obtained. The resulting polysaccharide was analyzed by high-pressure size-exclusion chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Altogether, the results indi...
