Abstract:
Clarified konjac glucomannan compositions substantially free of insoluble impurities, having a nitrogen content of no greater than about 0.60 wt %, and a turbidity potential as a 1.0 % aqueous sol of no greater than about 100 turbidity units as measured by the Formazin Turbidity Standard, as well as aqueous gels and sols, cold melt gels and spongy forms thereof. The resulting sols and gels may be used in foodstuffs, industrial biotechnical applications.
Abstract:
A method for sequencing nucleic acids in which the gel medium for electrophoresis comprises a polysaccharide, preferably agarose, in the presence of denaturing agents.
Abstract:
Substantially dry, rehydratable, water-dispersible, gel-forming, porous hydrocolloid microparticulates containing internally or internally and externally at least one water-soluble, non-gelling, hydration enhancing hydrocolloid, processes and intermediates for their preparation, and their uses.
Abstract:
Irradiated or nonirradiated substantially pure beta -1,3-glucan polysaccharides, derivatives and coprocessed mixtures thereof with other hydrocolloids, methods for their preparation, and uses for the aqueous gels prepared from them, including their use in the electrophoresis of DNA, RNA, and their fragments.
