Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlled Delivery System for NPK Agrochemical Release from Chitosan Copolymer HydrogelsMaysam S. Mutlaq, Fawzi Habeeb JabrailChitosan (CS) the polysaccharide was copolymerized with Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA) for the preparation of CS-co-PVA hydrogel and with Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) for CS-co-CMC hydrogel. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, thermal analysis (TGA and DSC), and SEM. The hydrogels were studied for agriculture applications, where their ability to swell and take large quantities of water many times its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 8 Sep 2022 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Non-destructive and Portable Determination for Carrot Quality based on Acoustic SignalsWangyou Zhang, Mingjin Cai, Qiwei Guo et al.To discuss the feasibility of non-destructive determination method for carrot quality based on the acoustic signal, Pearson correlations between the acoustic eigenvalues and the main compositions of carrot were performed. It indicated that the water content, polysaccharide content and pectin content of carrot were all significantly (P …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 May 2021 · 6,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExocellular (1→6)-β-D-Glucan (Lasiodiplodan): Carboxymethylation, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial ActivityThais Vanessa Theis, Gabrielle Cristina Calegari, Vidiany Aparecida Queiroz Santos et al.β-Glucans are biomacromolecules of industrial interest for its biological and technological properties, including ability to modify the rheology of food systems and different biological functionalities. In this study, lasiodiplodan an exocellular polysaccharide of the (1→6)-β-D-glucan type produced by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae MMPI was obtained in a bench-scale bioreactor operated in discontinuous mode. Lasiodiplodan produced was derivatized by carboxymethylation and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Active Substance Changes of Soybean Curd Residue Fermented by Preussia aemulans and its BioactivityYiting Li, Shili Meng, Min Shi, Zhenya ZhangA new species of fungus Preussia aemulans isolated from the Cordyceps sinensis fruiting body was cultured by soybean curd residue using solid-state fermentation method. The content of polysaccharide, amino acid, protein, phenolics and nucleoside were massively improved under the optimum conditions, including 10% adding dosage of glucose, 3% adding dosage of beef extract, 15 days of fermentation time. The crude … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Galactomannan Extracted from Iraqi Lycium barbarum L. Fruits against Alloxan-Induced Diabetes in RatsAdnan J.M. Al-FartosyLycium barbarum L. (Solanaceae) is widely used in Iraqi Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The present investigation was done to evaluate the effects of polysaccharide (galactomannan) from Lycium barbarum L. Fruits (GLBF) on serum blood glucose, serum lipid profile and lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defence system in liver and kidney of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. GLBF was found … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Dec 2014 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
