Biopolymer from water kefir as a potential clean-label ingredient for health ap...
Lucena, Monalisa de Alencar; Ramos, Igor Frederico da Silveira; Geronço, Maurycyo Silva; Araújo, Ricardo de; Filho, Francisco Lopes da SilvaThe present work aimed to characterize the exopolysaccharide obtained from water kefir grains (EPSwk), a symbiotic association of probiotic microorganisms. New findings of the technological, mechanical, and biological properties of the sample were studied. The EPSwk polymer presented an Mw of 6.35 x 10(5) Da. The biopolymer also showed microcrystalline structure and characteristic thermal stability with maximum...
Are structurally modified galactomannan derivatives biologically active?
Geronço, Maurycyo Silva; Ramos, Igor Frederico da Silveira; Silva Filho, Edson Cavalcanti da; Rizzo, Márcia dos Santos; Ribeiro, Alessandra BragaGalactomannans are versatile macromolecules with broad industrial potential. The influence of changes in the chemical structures and respective bioactivities of these polysaccharides have been extensively studied. The derivatives obtained by sulfation, complexation, and phosphorylation are the most studied biological properties in galactomannans. The derivatives obtained have shown several pharmacological activ...
