Fractionation of Sodium Alginate According to Polymerization Degree

Technological Application of Maltodextrins According to the Degree of Polymerization.

Maltodextrin (MX) is an ingredient in high demand in the food industry, mainly for its useful physical properties which depend on the dextrose equivalent (DE). The DE has however been shown to be an inaccurate parameter for predicting the performance of the MXs in technological applications, hence commercial MXs were characterized by mass spectrometry (MS) to determine their molecular weight di...

Fractionation of naturally occurring lecithins according to degree of unsaturation by thin-layer chromatography.

Separation of Grape and Wine Proanthocyanidins According to Their Degree of Polymerization

A method was developed for the fractionation of grape and wine proanthocyanidins according to their degree of polymerization. The grape and wine proanthocyanidins were fractionated on C18 Sep-Pak cartridges into three fractions by different organic solvents. The combination of TLC, analytic HPLC, and degradation with toluene-R-thiol confirmed that these three fractions contained, respectively, ...

Addition of Fillers to Sodium Alginate Solution Improves Stability and Immobilization Capacity of the Resulting Calcium Alginate Beads

Background: Although advantages of immobilization of cells through entrapment in calcium alginate gel beads have already been demonstrated, nevertheless, instability of the beads and the mass transfer limitations remain as the major challenges.Objective: The objective of the present study was to increase the stability, porosity (reduce mass transfer limit...
