The Effect of Water-Soluble Polysaccharide from Jackfruit ( Lam.) on Human Colon Carcinoma Cells Cultured In Vitro.

Various phytochemical studies have revealed that jackfruit ( Lam.) is rich in bioactive compounds, including carotenoids, flavonoids, volatile acids, tannins, and lectins. The aim of the study was to analyze the biological activity of water-soluble polysaccharide (WSP) isolated from jackfruit and to assess its immunomodulatory, cytotoxic, and anti-oxidative effects on human colon carcinoma cells in vitro.

Water-soluble (1→3),(1→4)-α-D-glucan from mango as a novel inducer of cariogenic biofilm-degrading enzyme.

A water-soluble polysaccharide (WSP) extracted from mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits has been suggested as a new alternative to mutan for mutanase induction in Trichoderma harzianum. Structural analyses revealed that the purified WSP was a (1→3),(1→4)-α-D-glucan with the molecular mass of ca.

Structural diversity of streptococcal mutans synthesized under different culture and environmental conditions and its effect on mutanase synthesis.

Streptococcal mutans synthesized under different conditions by growing cultures or by their glucosyltransferases were shown to exhibit a great structural and property diversity. Culturing and environmental factors causing structural differences in mutans were specified. All of the obtained biopolymers (76 samples) were water-insoluble and most of them (72) had a structure with a predominance of α-(1→3)-linked glucose (i.
