Unsaturated guluronate oligosaccharide (GOS) is generated via alginate-derived polyguluronate (PG) degradation by alginate lyase, followed by formation of a double bond between C-4 and C-5 at the nonreducing end. In this study, GOS was first used as a stabilizer to fabricate O/W nanoemulsions loaded with resveratrol (GOS-RES). Our results revealed that both the GOS-RES and normal O/W resveratrol nanoemulsions (water-RES) showed small droplet sizes and narrow size distributions under certain experimental conditions. However, the particle size and stability of the GOS-RES were slightly greater than those of the water-RES in acidic and neutral environments and at high temperatures. Furthermore, the GOS-RES exhibited a better sustained release effect for resveratrol than the water-RES. Moreover, the GOS-RES showed a significant superoxide radical scavenging effect. All these results demonstrated that GOS has good prospects for preparing nanoemulsions to encapsulate hydrophobic nutrients, which could be applied as food-grade components in beverages and other foods.

Relatively little is known about enzymes with broad substrate spectra, leading to limited applications and progress. Herein, we elucidate Aly16-1 of sp. strain CB16 as a novel multifunctional member of the eighth polysaccharide lyase (PL8) family, although it shared few sequence identities with the characterized enzymes.

The controllable crosslinking between the constituting building blocks plays a key role in endowing the hydrogel with injectability through the formation of a uniform 3D interconnected network. Herein, a uniform-unsaturated crosslinking strategy has been devised to quickly construct injectable sodium alginate (SA) hydrogels. Under vigorous stirring, a moderate amount of metal ions can uniformly coordinate with the guluronate moieties of SA molecules, avoiding the locally excessive crosslinking and the loss of injectability caused by traditional dropping and soaking methods.

Oligosaccharides from uronic acid-containing polysaccharides can be produced either by chemical or enzymatic degradation. The benefit of using enzymes, called lyases, is their high specificity for various glycosidic linkages. Lyases cleave the polysaccharide chain by an β-elimination reaction, yielding oligosaccharides with an unsaturated sugar (4-deoxy-l-erythro-hex-4-enepyranosyluronate) at the non-reducing end.

Alginate is a polysaccharide consumed by humans in edible seaweed and different foods where it is applied as a texturizing hydrocolloid or in encapsulations of drugs and probiotics. While gut bacteria are found to utilize and ferment alginate to health-beneficial short-chain fatty acids, knowledge on the details of the molecular reactions is sparse. Alginates are composed of mannuronic acid (M) and its C-5 epimer guluronic acid (G).
