The effect of galactoglucomannan oligosaccharides (GGMOs) compared with chemically modified oligosaccharides, GGMOs-g (with reduced number of D-galactose side chains) and GGMOs-r (with reduced reducing ends) on mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) adventitious roots formation, elongation, and anatomical structure have been studied. All types of oligosaccharides influenced adventitious root fo...

Protein glycosylation involves the addition of monosaccharides in a stepwise process requiring no glycan template. Therefore, identifying the numerous glycoforms, including isomers, can help elucidate the biological function(s) of particular glycans. A method to assess the diversity of the N-linked oligosaccharides released from human serum without derivatization has been developed using on-lin...

Lipid-linked oligosaccharides were synthesized with the particulate enzyme preparation from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) seedlings in the presence of GDP-[(14)C] mannose. The oligosaccharides were released from the lipids by mild acid hydrolysis and purified by several passages on Biogel P-4 columns. Five different oligosaccharides were purified in this way. Based on their relative elution cons...

Automated solid phase synthesis enables rapid access to the linear and branched arabinofuranoside oligosaccharides. A simple purification step is sufficient to provide the conjugation ready oligosaccharides in good yield.

• S. obliquus was effectively fractionated by mild (un)catalyzed hydrothermal processes. Soluble sugars were mainly present as soluble oligosaccharides. Protein retained in the solid fraction. Dilute acid hydrolysis allowed higher oligosaccharides yield at conditions. Co-production of added-value marine biorefineries. Scenedesmus , a biotechnologically recognized microalga, grown 70 L vertical ...

The incorporation of functional ingredients, such as prebiotics and probiotics in food matrices, became a common practice the human diet to improve nutritional value product itself. Worldwide, skim milk (SKM) is one most consumed comprising all essential nutrients desired for balanced diet. Thus, modulation gut microbiota by SKM supplemented with different well-known ingredients was evaluated. ...

Many nutrition scientists are not yet aware that human milk contains significant quantities of carbohydrates other than lactose. If you’ve never heard of lacto-N-tetraose or sialyllactose, you are not alone. The role of oligosaccharides in other fields has attracted widespread excitement but curiously little interest has been shown in the oligosaccharides of human milk. Many of the 130 differen...

Hemicellulose in corncob was simultaneously degraded and oxidized into oligosaccharides, which served as a masking agent for leather tanning.

Marine oligosaccharides have attracted increasing attention recently in developing potential drugs and biomaterials for their particular physical and chemical properties. However, the composition and sequence analysis of marine oligosaccharides are very challenging for their structural complexity and heterogeneity. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an important technique for carbohydrate analys...

A purified feruloyl esterase (EC 3.1.1.73) from Aspergillus nidulans produced in Pichia pastoris was used to study the de-esterification of large feruloyl oligosaccharides consisting of 4 to 20 pentose residues and (xylose plus arabinose) and one ferulic acid residue. The feruloyl oligosaccharides were prepared from total oligosaccharidic hydrolysates from wheat bran treated with a purified end...
