Dextran is an exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or their
enzymes in the presence of sucrose. Dextran is composed of a linear chain of d-glucoses …

Levan is a fascinating β-(2, 6)-linked fructose polymer with an unusual combination of
properties characterized in this review. In nature, levan is synthesized from sucrose by a …

The polysaccharide-based advanced drug delivery system owing to their biocompatibility,
ability to encapsulate the drug molecules in their interspaces, and ability to achieve a …

In this work, four exopolysaccharide-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, newly
isolated from Tunisian spontaneously fermented foods and beverages, namely bovine and …

Many microorganisms are able to synthesize polysaccharides and then secrete them into
the external environment; these compounds are known as exopolysaccharides (EPS). The …

Probiotics and their fermentation products are increasingly been focused on due to their
health-boosting effects. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthetized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) …

Background Functional polysaccharides can be derived from plants (including herbs),
animals and microorganisms. They have been widely used in a broad of biomedical …

Polysaccharides are ideal candidates for drug delivery and biomedical applications as they
are easily obtained from natural sources. Furthermore, they can be subjected to a wide …

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) show remarkable properties in various food applications. In this
review paper, EPS composition, structural characterization, biosynthesis pathways, and …

In this work, a series of new biodegradable and biocompatible hydrogels were synthesized
by photopolymerization of dextran-methacrylate (DXM) with poly (ethylene glycol)-maleic …
