The aim of this study was studying the effect acidic hydrolysis conditions on molecular parameters galactomannan, such as weight average degree polymerization (DPw), (Mw), product yield, depolymerization reaction rate, and mannose/galactose (Man/Gal) ratio in presence hydrochloric acid obtaining low oligogalactomannans soluble water. A preparing possibility galactomannans by guar galactomannan ...

The Vitamin C level of Soursop leaves Kombucha using galactomannan as a food source acidic bacteria in was investigated. aimed this study focused on evaluating the vitamin content during fermentation for 14 days indophenol titration method. Leaves were prepared by drying fresh oven at 70°C 3 hours and Galactomannan obtained centrifugation process endosperm Arenga pinnata neutral condition. Inoc...

BACKGROUND Guar galactomannan is a plant polysaccharide with extensive applications in food, paper, textile and petroleum industries. The main advantages for using guar are its low cost, easy availability and capacity to form viscous solutions and gels at low concentration. Additionally, chain architecture of guar galactomannan can be selectively modified to tailor properties of guar formulatio...

Piperacillin-tazobactam is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent that can cause false-positive results in the commercial Platelia Aspergillus EIA test. So far, no study has been performed in Latin America to evaluate the clinical implication of this finding. Here we studied the potential for galactomannan detection in piperacillin-tazobactam batches commercialized in the Brazilian market. Five b...

In this study, the extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from the seed coat of black soybean (BSCP) was investigated and optimized. A response surface methodology based on a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the extraction conditions as follows: extraction temperature, 100°C; ratio of water to material, 22.3 mL/g; and extraction time, 133.2 min. Under these conditions, the exp...

Guar gums of two different commercial sources were successfully electrospun on both mica and copper tape at several concentrations starting from 1% (w/w). The electrospun fibers formed with the raw materials were not uniform and presented aggregates and beads within the fibers. Two different purification procedures and a filtration sequence with different pore size membranes were applied to enh...

Soybean meal is a major protein source for swine and other monogastric animals. However, soybeans, like other legume seeds, contain anti-nutritional factors. Scientists have been successful in eliminating the principle growth inhibitors in soybeans through physical and chemical processing. However, galactosyl oligosaccharides, i.e., α-galactosides and βgalactomannan, known as flatulence-produci...

A 64-year-old Caucasian male was admitted to the infectious disease department in May 2016 for exploration of a febrile syndrome lasting for two months associated with chronic cough for 1 year. He was treated by Everolimus (Certican®) 1 mg bid since 2011 as anti-rejection drug after cardiac transplantation in 1990. His treatment also included Atorvastatin 10mg/d, Ezetimibe 10mg/d, Prasugrel 10m...

background and purpose: invasive aspergillosis (ia) is one of the most common life-threatening fungal infections among the critically ill patients including intensive care unit (icu) patients. delayed diagnosis and therapy may lead to poor outcomes. diagnosis may be facilitated by a test for molecular biomarkers, i.e. detection of galactomannan (gm) antigen based on enzyme immunoassay, which is...

Kato, Laszlo (Institut de Microbiologie et d'Hygiène de l'Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada), and Bela Gozsy. Limited multiplication of Mycobacterium lepraemurium in parabiotic culture, as influenced by osmolarity of an alkaline-galactomannan medium. J. Bacteriol. 91:1859-1862. 1966.-Limited multiplication of Mycobacterium lepraemurium has been achieved in an alkaline (pH 8.4) ga...
