Polysaccharides are one of the most abundant natural polymers and their molecular
structure influences many crucial characteristics—inter alia hydrophobicity, mechanical, and …

To obtain an analogue of pork backfat (PBF), we combined emulsion and gel to fabricate
emulsion gel, which was prepared by using soybean protein isolate (SPI) and curdlan (CL) …

Physical gels from natural polysaccharides present the advantage of no toxic cross-linking
agents and no chemical modification during preparation. Herein, novel physical gels …

Abstract Chitosan/1, 3-β-D-glucan matrices have been recently used in various biomedical
applications. Within this study, the structural changes in hybrid polysaccharide chitosan/1, 3 …

Curdlan is insoluble in water at ambient temperatures due to its rigid triple helix structure,
which greatly limits its applications in the food industry. Alkali-neutralization (AN) treatment …

In this work, an innovative composite hydrogel composed of curdlan (CD)/polyvinyl alcohol
(PVA) hydrogels with a 3-d network structure was successfully prepared by freeze-thaw …

Despite the high demand for curdlan (Curd), its industrial implementation has not reached a
mature stage due to the high cost of simple sugar feed stocks. Herein, Musa sapientum …

This work employed different curdlan concentrations (0.00%, 1.00%, 1.50%, 2.00%, and
2.50%) to alleviate the quality degradation of konjac glucomannan (KGM) gels after …

Chronic wounds, among others, are mainly characterized by prolonged inflammation
associated with the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and pro-inflammatory …
