Clinical investigation to modulate the effect of fenugreek polysaccharides on type-2 diabetes
Publication date: Available online 26 June 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Raheela Rashid, Hajra Ahmad, Zaheer Ahmed, Farhat Rashid, Nauman KhalidAbstractFenugreek is used extensively as spice, herb, food and medicine. Its active ingredient includes galactomannan, saponins, trigonelle, diosgenin and 4-hydroxyisoleucine has pronounced effect in controlling diabetes. The effect of galactomannan derived from fenugreek on fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and lipid profile was observed in newly diagnosed type-2 diabetics. The study was conducted as a 12-week interventional randomized, single blind co...

Physical, thermal, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of starches from corn, oat, and wheat enriched with Zataria essential oil
This study demonstrated the antioxidant and antibacterial capacities of starch enriched with ZEO as a potential antioxidant/antimicrobial ingredient. Corn, oat, and wheat starch increase the stability and bioavailability of ZEO while ZEO increases antioxidant and antibacterial activities of corn, oat, and wheat starch to make them functional foods.Graphical abstract (Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre)

Whole fruit pulp (mango) and a soluble fibre (pectin) impact bacterial diversity and abundance differently within the porcine large intestine
This study has shown that although pectin can promote extensive fermentation early in the LI, more prolonged and beneficial effects in the distal LI, including greater microbial species diversity, occur when the diet includes plant material with complex intact plant cell-walls, such as from mango.Graphical abstract (Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre)

Hypocholesterolemic potential and bioactivity spectrum of an exopolysaccharide from a probiotic isolate Lactobacillus paracasei M7
Publication date: Available online 31 May 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Bilqeesa Bhat, Bijender Kumar BajajAbstractEver-rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has induced enormous research impetus for reducing cardiovascular risk factors through innovative approaches. One of the major causes of CVDs is elevated level of serum cholesterol which though could be managed by drugs. But considering serious side effects of most of the available cholesterol lowering drugs, development of nonpharmacological cholesterol lowering approaches have gained momentum. Probiotics and/or derived...

Effects of different microwave intensity on the extraction yield and physicochemical properties of pectin from dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peels
Publication date: Available online 10 May 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Shahrooz Rahmati, Aminah Abdullah, Oon Lee KangAbstractIn this experiment, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was applied at different intensity of 300, 450, 600, and 800 W to extract pectin from dragon fruit peels. The microwave-assisted extraction was optimized using a central composite experimental design. The optimal extraction condition was established to be pH 2.07, extraction time of 65 s, and solid-to-liquid ratio of 66.57. The maxima extraction yields at 300, 450, 600, and 800 W were 11.8, 14.9, 17.2 an...

β-Glucan, a dietary fiber in effective prevention of lifestyle diseases – An insight
Publication date: Available online 11 May 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Gunjan Maheshwari, Sumathi Sowrirajan, Baby JosephAbstractβ-Glucan (β-G), a dietary fiber and a biologically active natural polysaccharide, is helpful in the prevention and control of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetics and cancer. Witnessing an increasing trend in mortality due to these diseases, especially in low- and middle-income countries can partly be attributed to dietary habits. This review deliberately discusses the global scenario on the life style diseases (LSDs), its relation to food habits on a r...

Microbial enzymatic degradation of tamarind galactoxyloglucan and wheat arabinoxylan by a porcine faecal inoculum
This study investigated the enzymatic degradation of solubilised tamarind galactoxyloglucan (GXG) and wheat arabinoxylan (AX), as models for abundant polysaccharides in the primary cell walls of fruits/vegetables and cereal grains, respectively. Using a porcine faecal inoculum, it was demonstrated that the microbial consortia produced surface-located endo-β-xyloglucanase and endo-β-xylanase, to enable the degradation of these polymers into oligosaccharides, close to the microbial surface. Subsequently, these oligosaccharides were completely degraded into monosaccharides by exo-degrading enzymes located both within and on...

Low molecular weight dextran production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains: Optimization of a new culture medium and the rheological assessments
In this study, MRS broth and milk permeate were used for growth of three strains (NRRL B-512F, NCIB 8023 and NRRL B-512) of L. mesenteroides and the growth rate, dextran production, and its rheological properties were studied. Evaluation of molecular weight by high-performance size exclusion chromatography system showed that dextran produced in milk permeate had a lower molecular weight (<10000 Dalton) compared to the dextran produced in MRS broth (<40000 Dalton). The viscosity of dextran solution (2%) produced in MRS was 0.005–0.01 Pa.s while in the synthetic medium it was <0.005 Pa.s. Also in our study ...
