Electrospinning has garnered significant attention in view of its many advantages such as
feasibility for various polymers, scalability required for mass production, and ease of …

Glucansucrases and branching sucrases are classified in the family 70 of glycoside
hydrolases. They are produced by lactic acid bacteria occupying very diverse ecological …

Several lactic acid bacteria are able to produce water-soluble and water-insoluble
homoexopolysaccharides (HoEPS) from sucrose. In this study, structures of all HoEPS which …

Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Weissella contribute to spontaneous fermentation in, eg,
sourdough or sauerkraut, but are not registered as starter cultures because of their pending …

Soybean tempeh contains bioactive carbohydrate that can reduce the severity of diarrhea by
inhibiting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhesion to mammalian epithelial cells …

The isolation of pure compounds from extracts represents a key step common to all
investigations of natural product (NP) research. Isolation methods have gone through a …

The immobilization technology provides a potential pathway for enzyme recycling. Here, we
evaluated the potential of using dextranase immobilized onto hydroxyapatite nanoparticles …

The water kefir organism Leuconostoc citreum TMW 2.1194 forms highly branched dextrans
with O 3-and O 4-bound side chains. To obtain detailed information on the enzymatic …

Deterioration of bread quality, characterized by the staling of bread crumb, the softening of
bread crust and the loss of aroma, has caused a huge food waste and economic loss, which …

Dextran has aroused increasingly more attention as the primary pollutant in sucrose
production and storage. Although enzymatic hydrolysis is more efficient and environmentally …
