A review: Examining the effects of modern extraction techniques on functional and structural properties of cellulose and hemicellulose in Brewer's Spent Grain dietary fiber.

Brewer's Spent Grain (BSG) is a by-product of the brewing industry, rich in dietary fibers that offer various health benefits. This review delves into the molecular and structural transformations of BSG and dietary fibers (arabinoxylan, beta-glucan, cellulose etc.) extracted from BSG, triggered by recent advancements in extraction technologies.

Monosaccharide composition and glycosidic linkages analysis by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry-Case study of plant polysaccharides.

Monosaccharide composition and glycosidic linkages analysis are essential for the structural characterization and biological activity research of polysaccharides. To simplify the analysis steps and improve detection efficiency, this study developed monosaccharide compositions and glycosidic linkages detection methods based on UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS, and established a plant polysaccharide glycosidic linkages library. Furthermore, the detailed analysis process of monosaccharide compositions and glycosidic linkages was presented through a plant polysaccharide (Chinese bayberry wine polysaccharide, CPW) example.

Green Synthesis of Low-Glycemic Amylose-Lipid Nanocomposites by High-Speed Homogenization and Formulation into Hydrogel.

In this research, we focused on the production of amylose-lipid nanocomposite material (ALN) through a green synthesis technique utilizing high-speed homogenization. Our aim was to investigate this novel material's distinctive physicochemical features and its potential applications as a low-glycemic gelling and functional food ingredient. The study begins with the formulation of the amylose-lipid nanomaterial from starch and fatty acid complexes, including stearic, palmitic, and lauric acids.

PEGylated Graphene Oxide as a Nanodrug Delivery Vehicle for Podophyllotoxin (GO/PEG/PTOX) and In Vitro α-Amylase/α-Glucosidase Inhibition Activities.

This study aims to develop a nanodrug delivery system containing podophyllotoxin (PTOX), a known anticancer drug, loaded on graphene oxide (GO). The system's ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes was also investigated. PTOX was isolated from roots with a yield of 2.
