Nanoencapsulation and delivery of curcumin using some carbohydrate based systems: A review
Nanoencapsulation is commonly used to improve nutritional properties, rheological behavior and flavor profile of phytochemicals. The particles commonly utilized to encapsulate the functional ingredients are natural polymers such as polysaccharides and proteins. There is an ever-growing interest for use of polysaccharides to encapsulate hydrophobic phytochemicals like curcumin. Curcumin is a pol...
متن کاملCarbohydrate-Based Polymers for Immune Modulation
Carbohydrates play prominent roles in immune surveillance and response to infection. Multivalency, molecular weight control, and molecular architecture control are properties that polymer science is well suited to address. Each of these properties has been demonstrated to impact the biological interaction of carbohydrate-bearing chains with their binding partners. This viewpoint highlights synt...
متن کاملSurfactant-aided electrospraying of low molecular weight carbohydrate polymers from aqueous solutions.
In this work it is demonstrated, for the first time, that it is feasible to develop, using the electrospraying technique, low molecular weight carbohydrate-based capsule morphologies from aqueous solutions through the rational use of surfactants. Two different low molecular weight carbohydrate polymers were used, a maltodextrin and a commercial resistant starch. The solution properties and subs...
متن کاملCooperative binding of LysM domains determines the carbohydrate affinity of a bacterial endopeptidase protein.
Cellulose, chitin and peptidoglycan are major long-chain carbohydrates in living organisms, and constitute a substantial fraction of the biomass. Characterization of the biochemical basis of dynamic changes and degradation of these β,1-4-linked carbohydrates is therefore important for both functional studies of biological polymers and biotechnology. Here, we investigated the functional role of ...
متن کاملDetection of bacteria with carbohydrate-functionalized fluorescent polymers.
Many pathogens that infect humans use cell surface carbohydrates as receptors to facilitate cell-cell adhesion. The hallmark of these interactions is their multivalency, or the simultaneous occurrence of multiple interactions. We have used a carbohydrate-functionalized fluorescent polymer, which displays many carbohydrate ligands on a single polymer chain, to allow for multivalent detection of ...
متن کاملSynthesis of galactofuranose-based acceptor substrates for the study of the carbohydrate polymerase GlfT2.
Despite the prevalence and importance of carbohydrate polymers, the molecular details of their biosynthesis remain elusive. Many enzymes responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrate polymers require a 'primer' or 'initiator' carbohydrate sequence. One example of such an enzyme is the mycobacterial galactofuranosyltransferase GlfT2 (Rv3808c), which generates an essential cell wall building bloc...
