(1) Background: This study attempted to develop an elder-friendly food suitable to the Korean Industrial Standard (KS) after identifying the nutritional characteristics of Kaniwa; (2) Methods: The nutrient composition and physiological activity of Kaniwa were analyzed, and the concentration of the gelling agent (guar gum, locust bean gum, and xanthan gum) to be added to Kaniwa mousse was derived through regression analysis to suit KS hardness level 1 to 3; (3) Results: It was found that Kaniwa not only had a good fatty acid composition but also had good antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. Moreover, it was found that in order to have the hardness to chew Kaniwa mousse with the tongue, it was necessary to add less than 1.97% guar gum, 4.03% locust bean gum, and 8.59% xanthan gum. In order to have a hardness that can be chewed with the gum, it was found that 2.17~4.97% guar gum, 4.45~10.28% locust bean gum, and 9.48~21.96% xanthan gum should be added; (4) Conclusions: As the aging rate and life expectancy increase, support for developmental research related to the elder-friendly industry should be continuously expanded in preparation for the upcoming super-aging society.

Background: Functional foods have been widely used as the anti-diabetic agents worldwide. Existing studies presented conflicting results of anti-hyperglycemic properties of gums. This systematic review and meta-analysis study evaluated the existing trials and determined the efficacy of different gums on glycemic indices.

Naturally occurring gas clathrates are a significant methane resource-the primary component of natural gas, regarded as the cleanest hydrocarbon and a key feedstock for producing gray and blue hydrogen. Despite the global abundance of gas hydrate reserves, extraction via depressurization has yet to achieve commercially viable production rates. The primary limitation lies in the low permeability of hydrate-bearing sediments, where solid clathrates obstruct porous pathways, hindering dissociation and slowing gas recovery.

Managing wounds infected with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria remains a significant public health challenge in clinical settings. While multifunctional hydrogels are commonly employed to treat skin infections, there is a scarcity of hydrogels that effectively combine cationic guar gum (CG) with both potent antimicrobial and safe therapeutic actions. This study introduces a novel pH responsive, dual-dynamically crosslinked hydrogel (CFC-PDA/Ag), synthesized by crosslinking CG with polydopamine (PDA)-coated silver nanozymes (PDA/PM-AgNPs).

Egg white gels prepared through fermentation, similar to yogurt production, offer a high-protein, zero-fat alternative to traditional dairy products. This study investigated the impact of guar gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) as rheological modifiers on the stability of fermented egg white gels. Rheological analysis revealed that the addition of both gums significantly influenced gel properties, with XG demonstrating superior performance.

This study aimed to prepare ultrasonically modified peanut protein-guar gum composite emulsion gels for 3D printing. The composition of the composite emulsion gels was determined in single-factor and orthogonal experiments. The results revealed that the optimal composite emulsion gels consisted of 6% peanut protein, 50% oil and 0.
