Certain carbohydrates and polyols are used at various stages of the production of immunobiological preparations as stabilizers of biological activity, particularly in the production of lactoglobulin (against opportunistic pathogens) using membrane ultrafiltration. This study concerns the effect of these substances on changes in the amide content in proteins of this lactoglobulin. Lactoglobulin was incubated in near-physiological (0.9% NaCl, pH 5.5) 10% solutions of glucose, fructose, and sorbitol at 4 and 35 degrees C for 7, 14, and 28 days. A lactoglobulin solution in 0.9% NaCl, pH 5.5, was used as the control. All substances studied suppressed the reduction of the amide group content of asparagine and, in contrast, increased the rate of amide group removal from glutamine residues in proteins of lactoglobulin preparations.

Background: Cirrhosis is a medical condition marked by persistent liver damage, which leads to the development of fibrous tissue and compromised liver function. In the present study, we decided to investigate the possibility of a connection between the consumption of fermentable olig-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) and mortality rates in cirrhotic patients by utilizing data obtained from a prospective cohort study.
Methods: This cohort study enrolled 166 ambulatory patients from two hospitals in Tehran, Iran, between 2016 and 2018, and followed them up for 5 48 months until April 30, 2022.

Background: Gastrointestinal symptoms (GISs) can affect the performance of endurance athletes (EAs). This study aims to analyze the efficacy of carbohydrate (CHO), gluten-free, and low-mono-saccharide and polyol (FODMAP) diets in preventing GISs in adult EAs of both sexes.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted prior to 30 June 2024 in accordance with the PRISMA statement.

In this study, a novel flexible material was fabricated by blending chitosan (CS) with a poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) copolymer. N-methyl-D-glucamine, which acts as a polyol, was grafted onto the PTMC copolymer to produce poly(TMC-co-TMC-glucamine) (PTTG), to enhance the hydrogen bonding interactions. The CS/PTTG blend films were then fabricated using solvent casting.

The interaction among flavor compounds is a crucial determinant of Baijiu's flavor. Yet, the interaction between glycerol, a prominent polyol in Baijiu, and volatile flavor compounds remains elusive. The effect of glycerol concentration on the volatility of 13 Baijiu flavor compounds was analyzed by GC-IMS and GC-MS.
