Effect of Fortification with Mushroom Polysaccharide β-Glucan on the Quality of Ovine Soft Spreadable Cheese.

In the present work, a fresh spreadable cheese from ovine milk with or without (control) fortification with β-glucan was manufactured. β-Glucan was extracted from the mushroom and its concentration in the cheese was 0.4% (/).

Mushroom and cereal β-D-glucan solid state NMR and FTIR datasets.

In the associated published article Kremmyda et al. (2021), the C1 region of the NMR spectra were examined in detail, as the C1 carbon was common to the crucial linkages in the glucan, and the most clearly separated region in the spectra. We provide the original measurement data here in topspin format, in order that different authors can examine the regions corresponding to the other carbons and in addition repeat our processing of the FID's using different parameters.

The detection, purity and structural properties of partially soluble mushroom and cereal β-D-glucans: A solid-state NMR study.

β-D-glucans are proposed to have many health benefits. It is therefore important to have methods which can distinguish these from other carbohydrates present in natural products, as well as giving glucan content and structural information. Correlations between features in the CP/MAS spectra of β-D-glucans and enzyme assay determined β-D-glucan content were generally found to be poor.

Manufacture of Reduced Fat White-Brined Cheese with the Addition of β-Glucans Biobased Polysaccharides as Textural Properties Improvements.

β-Glucan, isolated from the mushroom , at a concentration of 0.4%, was used in the manufacture of reduced-fat white-brined cheese from sheep milk. Control reduced-fat cheese was also produced from the same milk without the addition of β-glucan.

Exploration of using stripped ammonia and ash from poultry litter for the cultivation of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis and the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris.

Herein a new approach of exploiting poultry litter (PL) is demonstrated. The suggested method includes drying of PL with simultaneously striping and recovery of ammonia, followed by the direct combustion of dried PL. The generated ash after the combustion, and the striped ammonia consequently, could be used as nutrient source for the cultivation of microalgae or cyanobacteria to produce feed additives.
