Three each of sulfated xylans, glucosans or chondroitins were investigated. A comparison of the infrared analysis of the native and sulfated amylopectin showed the presence of peaks corresponding to 800/cm for S-O and 1200-1300/cm for S=O only in the sulfated amylopectin and earlier results using C NMR showed sulfation of hyroxymethyl groups (C-6) of amylopectin. Based upon % sulfate the three classes of compounds following sulfation contained more than one sulfate group per sugar unit. All of them exhibited significant in-vitro anticoagulant property by inhibiting thrombin generation at very low concentrations. In general sulfated xylans or glucosans were better anticoagulants than the chondroitins. The results of in-vitro studies of the activation of glutamic plasminogen (Glu-Plg) by tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) using 0.05 mol/l Tris buffer (pH 7.35) containing physiological concentration of NaCl (0.9%), showed that oat spelts xylan sulfate and amylopectin sulfate gave a 20-fold enhancement of the activation in a synergistic manner when used in combination with 32.4 mmol/l of lysine. The mechanism of enhancement was investigated by dilution studies. Sulfated amylopectin interacted with Glu-Plg but not with t-PA and lysine which interacted with both Glu-Plg and t-PA enhanced the activation in a synergistic manner using low concentrations of t-PA.

Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on using enzyme-hydrolysis of Acalypha hispida plant leaves to create nanocellulose, showcasing its eco-friendly and biocompatible benefits.
  • The enzyme used, xylanase, was sourced from Bacillus pumilus and shown to effectively hydrolyze xylan, leading to the successful synthesis of enzyme-hydrolyzed nanocellulose (EHNC).
  • The produced EHNC has desirable properties like small particle size (15-40 nm) and low production cost, indicating its potential for efficient and sustainable applications in advanced materials.

Article Synopsis
  • Water-soluble arabinoxylan and water-soluble fibre from wheat bran (WB) have shown anti-colitic effects in mice, with a focus on understanding the impact of both soluble and insoluble fractions of WB on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
  • In an experiment, mice were fed different treatments including a control, a DSS (inducing IBD) group, and groups receiving water-insoluble (WBI) and water-soluble (WBS) fractions of WB, revealing that WBI significantly reduced inflammation and gut tissue damage compared to the DSS group.
  • The study indicates that WBI helps maintain a healthier gut microbiota while showing promise for further research into its mechanisms and active components, especially concerning the gut bacteria

This study examined the effects of adding different types of arabinoxylans (AXs) to wheat flour with varying gluten strengths on flour quality and noodle-making performance, with the aim of utilizing AXs as health-enhanced ingredients. Three flours (Goso, Hojoong, and Joongmo) with low, medium, and high gluten strengths were used, along with two water-extractable AXs (E1 and E2) and one water-unextractable AX (U) with diverse molecular weights and viscosities. The addition of 2% AXs increased the water and sucrose solvent retention capacity values and decreased the gluten performance index values for all flours, with a notable effect on Goso flour by U.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting from abnormal immune response to gut microflora translocating through damaged intestinal barrier. Xylan acetate ester (XylA) can increase colon short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels and alleviate kidney disease by inhibiting inflammation through the G protein-coupled receptor pathway. Here, we synthesized and purified XylA, and then the effects and mechanisms of XylA on dextran sodium sulfate-induced UC in mice were investigated.

Hot springs worldwide can be a source of extremophilic microorganisms of biotechnological interest. In this study, samplings of a hot spring in Hidalgo, Mexico, were conducted to isolate, identify, and characterize morphologically, biochemically, and molecularly those bacterial strains with potential industrial applications. In addition, a physicochemical and geochemical examination of the hot spring was conducted to fully understand the study region and its potential connection to the strains discovered.
