摘要:
A method for preparing high transparent low acyl gellan gum from fermentation broth is provided, in which two-stage filtrations are carried out on deacylated gellan gum fermentation broth by using diatomite and/or perlite with different particle sizes as filter aid and filter media. The obtained product has high gel transparency and low content of metal ions. The method also has the advantages of simple pretreatment of fermentation broth, high impurities removal efficiency, simple operation, and easy to be industrialized.
摘要:
Beverages are provided having enhanced colloidal stability using a low calcium sensitive (calcium stable) high acyl gellan gum. The low calcium sensitive high acyl gellan gum has superior suspension performance for colloidal stability compared to other high acyl gellan gums. The low calcium sensitive high acyl gellan gum is prepared by adjusting the pH of a gellan fermentation broth (polymer solution) prior to pasteurization and reducing the pasteurization hold time compared to conventional pH levels and hold times.
摘要:
This invention refers to photo-crosslinked hydrogel materials based in gellan gum suitable for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications or as drug delivery systems. Formulations of gellan gum with different degrees of acylation serve as precursor material for insertion of a polymerizable moiety. The materials are capable of free radical polymerization with a photo-initiator at mild temperatures and exposure to ultraviolet light, enabling control of reticulation and withstanding the encapsulation of human and animal cells and/or drugs, and any combination thereof. The physicochemical and biological properties can be adjusted by combining different formulations of gellan gum and reaction conditions. The matrix can be used either as an acellular or cellular system, dispensed manually or automatically by injection and crosslinked directly at the site of application, and can be processed using manual or automated systems in different types of scaffolds, such as hydrogels, fibers, 3D structures and micro- or nanoparticles.
摘要:
A purification method for the capsular polysaccharide of type II GBS in which the capsular polysaccharide is filtered using a membrane with a cut-off of less than 30 kDa. This method provides a higher yield than previous protocols.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric biosurfactants isolated from two bacterial strains of Microbacterium sp. strain BS-2 [MTCC 5822] and Brevibacillus sp. strain BS-207 [MTCC 5823]. The present invention relates to an acidic exopolysaccharide (EPS), termed Microsan, with chemical composition of glucose, mannose and glucuronic acid (β-D-glucuronyl-(1-2)-D-mannosyl-(1-4)-D-glucose) produced by Microbacterium sp. strain BS-2 and a neutral EPS, termed Brevisan, of galactomannan with galactose and mannose residues in the ratio of 1:1 produced by Brevibacillus sp. strain BS-207. Both these polysaccharides exhibited surface-active and potential antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities.
摘要:
A food grade water-soluble arabinoxylan product containing arabinoxylan oligosaccharides and retaining a high amount of bound ferulic acid and other phenolic substances is isolated from corn fiber using an aqueous extraction wherein the pH of the aqueous medium employed for the extraction is adjusted to a selected value after mixing with the corn fiber and prior to the initiation of extraction.
摘要:
The invention provides compositions comprising lipid-conjugated forms of capsular polysaccharide A (PSA) from B. fragilis (referred to herein as PSA-LT), methods of isolating such forms and of making such compositions and methods for their use.
