Glucose is a simple carbohydrate known as a monosaccharide that provides the main source of energy for living things on planet Earth. Glucose is created by plants via homeostasis and is consumed by animals and broken down to make ATP that cells can us...
Compared with polysaccharides derived from terrestrial plants and animals, MSPs are characterized by a higher sulfate cotent (partial replacement of the hydroxyl group of the monosaccharide by sulfate). Notably, MSPs can be combined with food components to prepare complexes with desirable physicochemical...
For the analysis of monosaccharide composition and uronic acids, 100 mg starch-free AIR sample was hydrolyzed using 2 M trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 121 °C for 120 min. Post-cooling, the hydrolyzed sample was neutralized to pH = 7 using 2 M NaOH. Subsequently, 1 mL of this neutralized...
Glycans are complex carbohydrates, linking monosaccharide units through glycosidic bonds, forming linear or branched polymers. They can be either free oligo- or poly-saccharides or bound to proteins (e.g. glycoproteins) and lipids (e.g. glycolipids) (Citation57), and can be found in animals, ...
Serial milk samples of 10 mothers (eight full-term and two preterm births) were analyzed to determine the concentration of lactose and three monosaccharide components derived from the non-lactose carbohydrate: sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, and fucose. In full-term milk, sialic acid and N-...
Table 1 Extraction, molecular weight, and monosaccharide composition of polysaccharide in L. sulphureus Full size table Lectins Lectin is one of the most studied glycoproteins produced by mushrooms that has a variety of biological functions. Approximately 82% of fungal lectins are from mushrooms (Singh...
The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra of NP and AP were determined using a Nicolet 380 FT-IR spectrophotometer (Nicolet, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) with a scan range from 4000 to 400 cm−1. Monosaccharide compositions of NP and AP were analyzed by high ...
The increase of the monosaccharide contents at the beginning of SSF might be related to the hydrolysis of residuals of the disaccharide sucrose into monosaccharides.41 Later on, the molecules were consumed within the metabolic activity of the fungi, which reduced the detectable amount of these ...
Polysaccharide starting materials include the naturally occurring, biosynthesized and derivatized carbohydrate polymers or mixtures thereof. Such materials encompass high molecular weight polymers composed of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds. These materials include the entire starch and cellulose ...
