The potential of marine oligosaccharides in pharmacy
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Catherine T. Nordgård, Shalini V. Rao, Kurt I. DragetAbstractComplex polysaccharides are widespread within the animal kingdom. At the molecular level, however, the importance of such components have largely been considered inferior compared to nucleic acids and proteins. This in spite of the fact that carbohydrates are well known to govern important biological processes like cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions. There are probably several reasons for this, out of which the huge challenges of characterizing and syn...

Structure driven immunomodulatory properties of xylo-/arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides and arabinoxylans in RAW264.7 macrophages
Publication date: Available online 15 January 2019Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Mihiri Mendis, Estelle Leclerc, Bradley L. Reuhs, Senay SimsekAbstractCereal derived arabinoxylans (AX) have been shown to possess immunomodulatory properties. However, AX are complex molecules that can exist with different degree of polymerization (DP) and degree of arabinose substitution (DS). We investigated the effect of these structural differences on the immunomodulatory property of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) and AX polysaccharides. We investigated the effect of these sub...

Effects of dietary fibres extracted from defatted sesame husk, rice bran & flaxseed on hypercholesteromic rats
Publication date: Available online 21 December 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Isita Nandi, Avery Sengupta, Mahua GhoshAbstractSesame, rice bran and linseed, three well known oil seeds, are known to be rich in soluble and insoluble dietary fibres also. Our recent study discovered that the total dietary fiber (TDF) extracted from these defatted oil seeds consist about 68%, 27% and 39% dietary fiber respectively. The cholesterol lowering effect of dietary fiber and polyphenol rich products obtained from other sources are already well studied but these three have not been reported yet. In the p...

The effect of Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate on structural changes of wheat gluten in a model system fortified with inulin: Investigation with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
In this study the secondary structures and changes of model systems containing gluten and inulin were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The effect of Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (SSL) was also investigated in order to cover the undesirable properties of inulin on the properties of the dough, bread quality and shelf life. Curve fitting methods were used on the initial range of models and in the range of 1600–1700 cm-1 (amide bands I) to analyze the secondary structures of the models. Upon performing Gaussian–Lorenzian curve fitting, it was observed that by adding of 0.8% SSL to model syste...

Isolation and characterization of major polysaccharides from maple sugar
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Mylène Brochu, Claude-Paul Lafrance, Eric Landry, Maxim MaheuxAbstractMaple sugar is a product derived from maple sap that is used in North America diet for its exquisite taste or in replacement of cane sugar and other sugar substitutes. Previous researches have demonstrated that maple sugar has beneficial properties in the treatment of diabetes and other metabolic disorders which could be related to the presence of oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Polysaccharides in maple sugar were isolated by solid-phase e...

Design, formulation, and characterization of a potential ‘whole food’ using fibre rich orange (Citrus sinensis Lin) pomace as base
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Abosede Oluwakemi Oduntan, Gibson L. ArueyaAbstractResidues from processing of orange juice constitute a pollutant and an environmental nuisance especially when not properly disposed. In recent times, these are being recognized as veritable sources of dietary fibre and phenolics leading to its use as food supplements and flavourings among others. However, expanding this frontier of knowledge through conversion into whole foods with good dietary fibre profile remains to be explored. Orange pomace (O), soymeal (S) an...

Structure-dependent Immune Modulating Activity of Okra Polysaccharide on THP-1 Macrophages
This study aimed to investigate the structure-dependent immune modulating activity of water-extracted okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) polysaccharide on THP-1 macrophages. Native water-extracted okra polysaccharides (OP) with high molecular weights (>640 kDa) were digested with a polygalacturonase enzyme. Digestion promoted the removal of pectin linear regions (Homogalacturonan; HG), consequently reduced their molecular weight. Digested okra polysaccharides (OPD) were fractionated through size exclusion chromatography to obtain OPDF1 (>640 kDa) and OPDF2 (≤18 kDa). Results revealed all polysaccharide der...

Soybean Okara modulates gut microbiota in rats fed a high-fat diet
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): E. Pérez-López, A.M. Veses, N. Redondo, M.D. Tenorio-Sanz, M.J. Villanueva, A. Redondo-Cuenca, A. Marcos, E. Nova, I. Mateos-Aparicio, P. RupérezAbstractOkara is a valuable and abundant by-product from soybean processing which has a high dietary fibre content, mainly composed of insoluble fibre. In order to increase its solubility, a high hydrostatic pressure treatment combined with Ultraflo® L enzyme was applied to prepare a soluble dietary fibre-enriched Okara. Then, its healthy effects were tested in Wista...

Dietary Fibers and Their Fermented Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Prevention of Human Diseases
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2018Source: Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary FibreAuthor(s): Kedar N Prasad, Stephen C BondyAbstractMany studies show that daily consumption of high-fiber diet reduces the risk of developing kidney stones, inflammatory disease, colon cancer and other malignancies, obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Dietary fibers are non-digestible polysaccharides that are composed of complex carbohydrates. Based on their relative solubility in water, dietary fibers can be divided into insoluble and soluble forms. Soluble fibers absorb water to form a gel in the intesti...
