Plant-derived soluble dietary fibers (SDF) have many important physiological functions and the applications of SDF vary based on their properties, which are worth further investigating for fiber-enriched food production. In this study, SDF derived from konjac, apple, chicory, flaxseed, orange, psyllium seed, soybean and oat were purified, and their structural, physicochemical and functional properties were systematically evaluated. Monosaccharide composition analysis showed that these SDF belonged to heteropolysaccharides, of which konjac, psyllium seed, apple, soybean and oat SDF were glucomannan, arabinoxylan, pectin, arabinogalactan and glucan, respectively. The molecular weight of konjac glucomannan (KGM, 5.22 × 10 Da) was the highest, and inulin, soybean arabinogalactan (SA) and oat glucan (OG) had higher water solubility. Moreover, KGM, apple pectin (AP), flaxseed SDF (FS) and psyllium seed arabinoxylan (PA) exhibited better water-holding capacity, swelling capacity, emulsifying activity and stability. Rheological studies and texture profile analysis suggested that KGM had the best viscosity and gelation ability. In addition, AP and orange SDF (OS) showed better α-amylase inhibitory activity, while OS and KGM had higher pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. Also, KGM and FS displayed fine cholesterol absorption capacity. To summary, these functional properties illustrated the feasibility of SDF to regulate blood sugar and blood lipid levels.

Background: The human colon receives 2 L of fluid daily. Small changes in the efficacy of absorption can lead to altered stool consistency with diarrhea or constipation. Drugs and formulations can also alter colonic water, which can be assessed using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) longitudinal relaxation time constant, T1.

To develop new green sustainable adsorbents, herein, psyllium, a polysaccharide, was transformed into a cationic material by introducing a quaternary ammonium group in its structure through a two-step process. Psyllium was epoxidized with epichlorohydrin to epoxy propyl form (Psy) and the resulting material was reacted with triethylamine to obtain a quaternized psyllium, Psy. Psy demonstrates selective elimination of anionic dyes (CR and MO).

Background: Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin is reduced by co-administering psyllium.
Objectives: To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it in divided doses would mimic the effect of psyllium. Primary endpoint was the BH area under the curve AUC.
Enhanced Gelation Properties and Saltiness Perception of Low-Salt Surimi Gel with Psyllium Husk Powder.

Reducing salt intake is an effective strategy for preventing and managing hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, psyllium husk powder (PHP) was incorporated into surimi to address the challenges of diminished saltiness and texture in low-salt surimi products. PHP promoted the conversion of α-helix structures into β-sheet and strengthening intermolecular interactions, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and disulfide bonds.

Dietary fiber is crucial in enhancing the nutritional and textural properties of surimi-based products. This study investigated blended surimi produced from silver carp and bay scallops, with the addition of different amounts (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3%) of inulin (INU) or psyllium husk powder (PHP) for their textural properties, protein conformation, and in vitro digestibility.
