Layer-by-layer microcarrier production and characterization as a model to probi...
Ramos, Philippe E.; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo Parente Ribeiro; Cook, Michael; Charalampopoulos, Dimitris; Khutoryanskiy, Vitaliy V.; Teixeira, J. A.The recommended daily intake of folate (B-complex vitamin) for an adult varies between 200 and 400 g, being the intake of folate inefficient due its extremely unstable chemical forms. One of the presented solutions is the in situ production using probiotics. However, two concerns exist for this solution: a) probiotic bacteria may need protection towards the gastric medium (encapsulation); and b) microcapsule si...
Production and purification of xylooligosaccharides from oil palm empty fruit b...
Ho, Ai Ling; Carvalheiro, Florbela; Duarte, Luís C.; Roseiro, Luisa B.; Charalampopoulos, Dimitris; Rastall, Robert A.Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) fibre, a by-product generated from non-woody, tropical perennial oil palm crop was evaluated for xylooligosaccharides (XOS) production. Samples of OPEFB fibre were subjected to non-isothermal autohydrolysis treatment using a temperature range from 150 to 220 ºC. The highest XOS concentration, 17.6 g/L which relayed from solubilisation of 63 g/100 g xylan was achieved at 210 ...
