Development of a healthy corn-based snack with sage (Salvia officinalis L.) seed
Publication date: Available online 30 November 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Ferhat Yuksel, Huri Ilyasoglu, Cemalettin BaltaciAbstractA healthy corn-based snack was developed from the corn flour and sage (Salvia officinialis) seed flour. The effects of the process variables (sage seed flour: 0–15%, frying temperature: 170–190 °C, and frying time: 40–60 s) on the nutritional properties, fatty acid composition and oxidative stability of the snack chips were evaluated via Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The response models explaining 72–96% variability in the responses were o...

Isolation of crude fucoidan from Sargassum wightii using conventional and ultra-sonication extraction methods
Publication date: October 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre, Volume 20Author(s): Mandakini Devi Hanjabam, Anuj Kumar, C.S. Tejpal, Elavarasan Krishnamoorthy, Pankaj Kishore, K. Ashok KumarAbstractFucoidan, a fucose rich sulphated polysaccharide, generally found in cell wall matrix of brown seaweeds possess diverse physiological properties. Crude fucoidan was extracted from Sargassum wightii, a brown seaweed common along the Indian coastline. A comparison was made between hot water extraction (HWE) and ultra-sonication extraction (UAE) methods. The UAE method gave higher yield (14.61 g/100 g) than HW...

Biotechnological potential of exopolysaccharide as a bioemulsifier produced by Rhizobium radiobacter CAS isolated from curd
Publication date: Available online 11 October 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Digambar Kavitake, Farhat Zakirhusain Marchawala, Cedric Delattre, Prathapkumar Halady Shetty, Hilor Pathak, Prasad AndhareAbstractSuccinoglycan exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Rhizobium radiobacter CAS and its rheological behavior has been studied earlier. In present investigation the emulsifying potential of CAS EPS has been determined. CAS EPS concentration was optimized with hydrocarbons soybean oil and n-Hexane, whereas effect of pH (3.0–11.0), salinity, monovalent ions, divalent ion, (NaCl, KCl and MgCl2), fre...

Investigating potential wound healing properties of polysaccharides extracted from Grewia mollis Juss. and Hoheria populnea A. Cunn. (Malvaceae)
Publication date: Available online 9 October 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): N. Pearman, S.R. Moxon, S.M. Carnachan, M.E. Cooke, E.I. Nep, I.M. Sims, G.A. Morris, A.M. SmithAbstractThe Malvaceae family is a group of flowering plants that include approximately 244 genera, and 4225 species. Grewia mollis, and Hoheria populnea (lacebark), are examples of the Malvaceae family that are used in traditional medicine. For this study polysaccharide samples were extracted from the inner bark of Grewia mollis (unmodified (GG) and destarched grewia gum (GGDS)) and from the leaves of Hoheria populnea (la...

Prebiotic potential of natural gums and starch for bifidobacteria of variable origins
In conclusion, 114 strains of human and animal origin (37 bifidobacterial species and subspecies) were able to utilize starch. Compared to that, mostly bifidobacteria of the animal origin were able to utilize a wider range of available natural substrates compared to the human bifidobacteria. In total, 29 strains were able to use NGs (10 species and subspecies). Most often used locust bean, guar, tragacanth, and arabic gums represent possible prebiotic sources for bifidobacteria in animal nutrition, ideally in synbiotic applications. Natural food thickeners were found to be useful potential prebiotics. However, a suitable c...

Biosynthesis of methyl glucoside and its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
In this study, the methyl glucosides (MGn) was synthesized using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and methanol through the coupling reaction of recombinant cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus circulans A11. The optimal condition for the synthesis of MGn consisted of an incubation of 1.5% (w/v) β-CD and 500 U/mL of CGTase in a water/methanol solution containing 30% (v/v) methanol at pH 6.0, 50 °C for 120 h. Upon analysis by TLC, at least three MG products were observed. The molecular weight of the main transferred product was 217.08 Da; this value was in accordance with methyl monoglucoside (MG1). MG1 was...
