Influence of flaxseed mucilage on the formation, composition, and properties of exopolysaccharides produced by different strains of lactic acid bacteria.

Microorganisms produce a wide variety of polysaccharides. Due to biosafety considerations, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are popular producers of exopolysaccharides (EPS) for various applications. In this study, we analyzed the composition and properties of EPS produced by L.

Pretreatment of Sugar Beet Pulp with Dilute Sulfurous Acid is Effective for Multipurpose Usage of Carbohydrates.

Sulfurous acid was used for pretreatment of sugar beet pulp (SBP) in order to achieve high efficiency of both extraction of carbohydrates and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the remaining solids. The main advantage of sulfurous acid usage as pretreatment agent is the possibility of its regeneration. Application of sulfurous acid as hydrolyzing agent in relatively low concentrations (0.
