Abstract
Gleditsia fruits have been known as a valuable traditional Chinese herb for tens of centuries. Previous studies showed that the galactomannans are considered as one of the major bioactive components in Gleditsia fruits seeds (GSGs). Here, we systematically review the major studies of GSGs in recent years to promote their better understanding. The extraction methods of GSGs mainly include hot water extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasonic extraction, acid extraction, and alkali extraction. The analysis revealed that GGSs exhibited in the form of semi-flexible coils, and its molecular weight ranged from 0.018 × 103 to 2.778 × 103 KDa. GSGs are composed of various monosaccharide constituents such as mannose, galactose, glucose, and arabinose. In terms of pharmacological effects, GSGs exhibit excellent activity in antioxidation, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammation. Moreover, GSGs have excellent bioavailability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, which make them used in food additives, food packaging, pharmaceutical field, industry and agriculture. Of cause, the shortcomings of the current research and the potential development and future research are also highlighted. We believe our work provides comprehensive knowledge and underpinnings for further research and development of GSGs.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions characterized by disruptions in the colonic mucus barrier and gut microbiota. In this study, a novel soluble polysaccharide obtained from Boletus aereus (BAP) through water extraction was examined for its structure. The protective effects of BAP on colitis were investigated using a DSS-induced mice model. BAP was found to promote the expression of intestinal mucosal and tight junction proteins, restore the compromised mucus barrier, and suppress the activation of inflammatory signaling. Moreover, BAP reshape the gut microbiota and had a positive impact on the composition of the gut microbiota by reducing inflammation-related microbes. Additionally, BAP decreased cytokine levels through the MANF-BATF2 signaling pathway. Correlation analysis revealed that MANF was negatively correlated with the DAI and the level of cytokines. Furthermore, the depletion of gut microbiota using antibiotic partially inhabited the effect of BAP on the activation of MANF and Muc2, indicating the role of gut microbiota in its protective effect against colitis. In conclusion, BAP had an obvious activation on MANF under gut inflammation. This provides new insights into the prospective use of BAP as a functional food to enhance intestinal health.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129347. [PMID: 38224808 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Herein, the low-molecular-weight heteropolysaccharide (designated as TABP), with a weight-average Mw of 5408 Da, was produced by the endophytic bacterium Bacillus sp. TAB, which was initially isolated from the fruiting bodies of the wild Tremella aurantialba. A relatively high TABP accumulation was obtained and enhanced to 6.94 g/L in 5 L fed-batch fermentation by high-density cultivation. Monosaccharide composition analysis showed that the TABP comprised arabinose, glucosamine, galactose, glucose, and mannose with a molar ratio of 0.073: 0.145: 0.406: 0.182: 0.195, respectively. Methylation and NMR analyses indicated that TABP contained 1,4-linked β-d-Galp and 1,4-linked β-d-Manp pyranosyl backbone, extensively substituted at the side chains to form a complex structure. Prebiotic potential analysis exhibited significant growth-promoting effects for various lactic acid bacteria by more than 90 %. Overall, this study initially provides valuable insights into the endophytic exopolysaccharides from T. aurantialba and their biological activity, which provides prospective sources of prebiotics for functional foods and aids in understanding the endophytes symbiosis mechanism in edible mushrooms.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have been widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries due to their diverse bioactivity, high safety, and few or no side effects. However, inability to quickly produce, screen, and synthesize bioactive polysaccharides is the limiting factor for their development and application. Structural features determine and influence the bioactivity of polysaccharides. Among them, monosaccharide is the basic unit of polysaccharide, which not only affects electrification, functional group, and bioactivity of polysaccharide but also is one of the simplest polysaccharide indexes to be detected. At present, effects of monosaccharide composition and proportion on anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, and prebiotic activities of polysaccharides are reviewed. Further problems need to be considered during regulation and analysis of monosaccharide composition and proportion of polysaccharides. Overall, present work will provide help and reference for production, development, and structure-function investigation of polysaccharides based on their monosaccharide.

Abstract
Excessive protein consumption (EPC) could increase the gastrointestinal burden and impair gut motility. The present study was designed to explore the improvement of chitosan (CTS) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) on colonic motility and serum metabolites in rats after EPC. The results of in vivo experiments fully proved that CTS and COS could improve gut motility and reverse the serum metabolites in rats as indicated by LC-MS/MS analysis, and the COS group even showed a better effect than the CTS group. Furthermore, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which could promote gut motility, were also increased to alleviate EPC-induced constipation after supplementation with CTS or COS. In addition, CTS and COS could decrease the concentration of ammonia in serum and down-regulate the levels of H2S and indole. In summary, the present study revealed that CTS and COS could produce SCFAs, improve the colonic motility in rats, reverse the levels of valine, adenosine, cysteine, 1-methyladenosine, indole, and uracil, and enhance aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation. The present study provides novel insights into the potential roles of CTS and COS in alleviating the adverse effects of EPC.

Abstract
In the present study, lotus seed oligosaccharides (LOSs) were isolated from lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) seeds using preparative liquid chromatography. LOS structures were characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), acid hydrolysis, tandemmass spectrometry (MS/MS) and 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Then, Lactobacillus acidophilus was used to evaluate the prebiotic activity of LOSs in vitro. The structural analysis revealed that the monosaccharide components of LOSs included glucose, mannose, fructose and galactose. The MS/MS results indicated that disaccharides, trisaccharides, trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides were the constituents of isolated oligosaccharide polymers LOS2, LOS3-1, LOS3-2, and LOS4, respectively. The FT-IR and 1D/2D NMR data confirmed that LOS3 and LOS4 had a linear structure consisting of (1 → 6)-α-d-mannopyranosyl and glucopyranosyl residues. LOS3-1 and LOS4 effectively and selectively promoted the growth of an L. acidophilus strain, according to the results of the assays of optical density and the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content in the culture broth.

Abstract
Soybean oligosaccharides (SBOS) isolated from wastewater of tofu production were studied in terms of their structural characteristics and in vitro fermentation by human fecal inocula. Three sub-fractions named Z1 (14%), Z2 (13%), and Z3 (17%) were obtained by Sephadex G-15 column separation. Z1 contained mainly stachyose; Z2 and Z3 contained stachyose, raffinose, and sucrose with different relative percentages. The in vitro batch fermentation model of human intestinal bacteria including 0, 12, 24, and 48 h was used to investigate the fermentation characteristics of SBOS. According to the results, during the fermentation process, the molecular weight of oligosaccharides decreased significantly with increasing fermentation time, indicating that oligosaccharides could be utilized and degraded by the colonic microbiota. Furthermore, SBOS could significantly promote the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. SBOS increased the abundance of Firmicutes, while that of Proteobacteria was decreased. Additionally, SBOS could promote the proliferation of Dialister, Bacteroides, and Akkermansia at the genus level. Therefore, SBOS can be potentially used as prebiotic promoting gut health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Urinary tract infections (UTI) among women form a substantial part of medical practice and both patients and medical professionals have an interest in non-antibiotic treatments and preventative measures. This research provides preliminary data on a multi-functional composition, DAPAD, which explored several biologic activities of relevance to UTI. STUDY DESIGN This formulation included D-mannose, citric acid, three prebiotic compounds, and extracts of dandelion and astragalus. Studies performed employed 4 bacterial strains that have relevance to UTI including E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus agalactiae and Enterococcus faecalis. RESULTS Key findings from in vitro studies included: DAPAD at full- and half-strength inhibited growth of all UTI bacteria. Evidence for D-mannose agglutination of E. coli was demonstrated. D-mannose also showed unexpected effects on bacterial membrane integrity with vital staining and modest growth restriction. We did not demonstrate growth inhibition by dandelion or astragalus extracts but the latter showed diminished cytokine elaboration by bladder epithelial cells. CONCLUSION DAPAD is a multifunctional composition that may warrant further development as a UTI treatment or preventive if supported by clinical evaluation.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity and related complications is continuously increasing while the gut microbiota might have a significant role to address this challenge. In this context, the food industry generates large amounts of residues that could be likely revalorised as functional ingredients. Hence, we evaluated the fermentability of food skins, husks, shells, trimming residues, mosses and mushrooms, which were subjected to in vitro fermentation with faecal microbiota from lean and obese adults. We demonstrated for the first time that pumpkin skin is highly fermented by human faecal microbiota showing pH-lowering effects and promoting gas and SCFA production. Furthermore, brewers' spent grain generated an inulin-like SCFA profile after microbial fermentation, whereas Irish moss, plum skin, quinoa husk and mushrooms, including Armillaria mellea and Boletus edulis, showed high fermentation rates. Remarkably, although propionate production was significantly higher in obese individuals, the fermentability of the ingredients was similar between lean and obese conditions.

Abstract
Seed coat mucilages are mainly polysaccharides covering the outer layer of the seeds to facilitate seed hydration and germination, thereby improving seedling emergence and reducing seedling mortality. Four types of polysaccharides are found in mucilages including xylan, pectin, glucomannan, and cellulose. Recently, mucilages from flaxseed, yellow mustard seed, chia seed, and so on, have been used extensively in the areas of food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics contributing to stability, texture, and appearance. This review, for the first time, addresses the similarities and differences in physicochemical properties, molecular structure, and functional/bioactive properties of mucilages among different sources; highlights their structure and function relationships; and systematically summarizes the related genetic information, aiming with the intent to explore the potential functions thereby extending their future industrial applications.

Crude Pectic Oligosaccharide Recovery from Thai Chok Anan Mango Peel Using Pectinolytic Enzyme Hydrolysis. Foods 2021; 10:627. [PMID: 33809517 PMCID: PMC7999440 DOI: 10.3390/foods10030627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pectin recovered from mango peel biomass can be used as a potential source for pectic oligosaccharide hydrolysate with excellent probiotic growth-enhancing performance and prebiotic potentials. Consequently, the objectives of the current study were to optimise the enzyme hydrolysis treatment of mango peel pectin (MPP) and to evaluate the pectic oligosaccharide effects of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and Bifidobacterium animalis TISTR 2195. Mango of "chok anan" variety was chosen due to its excessive volume of biomass in processing and high pectin content. The optimal treatment for mango peel pectic oligosaccharide (MPOS) valorisation was 24 h of fermentation with 0.3% (v/v) pectinase. This condition provided small oligosaccharides with the molecular weight of 643 Da that demonstrated the highest score of prebiotic activity for both of B. animalis TISTR 2195 (7.76) and L. reuteri DSM 17938 (6.87). The major sugar compositions of the oligosaccharide were fructose (24.41% (w/w)) and glucose (19.52% (w/w)). For the simulation of prebiotic fermentation, B. animalis TISTR 2195 showed higher proliferation in 4% (w/v) of MPOS supplemented (8.92 log CFU/mL) than that of L. reuteri (8.53 CFU/mL) at 72 h of the fermentation time. The main short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from MPOS were acetic acid and propionic acid. The highest value of total SCFA was achieved from the 4% (w/v) MPOS supplementation for both of B. animalis (68.57 mM) and L. reuteri (69.15 mM). The result of this study therefore conclusively advises that MPOS is a novel pectic oligosaccharide resource providing the opportunity for the sustainable development approach through utilising by-products from the fruit industry.

Abstract
Mucilage is a soluble dietary fiber used as a food additive to give foods a firmer texture, aside from its many health benefits and pharmacological properties. It is a polysaccharide in nature, composed of large molecules of sugars and uronic acid moieties. The extraction of mucilage is achieved from a wide variety of plant parts, including rhizomes, roots, and seeds, and it has also been reported from microorganisms. In this review, the nutritional and medicinal applications of mucilage are described in the context of the different mucilage types. The current article highlights state-of-the-art valorization practices relating to mucilage and its potential novel usages in the food industry and nutraceuticals, and as a prebiotic, in addition to its nutritional and anti-nutritional values. Analysis of the prebiotic action of mucilage with respect to its structure activity relationship, as well as how it modulates gut bacteria, is presented for the first time and in the context of its known health benefits inside the colon. It is recommended that more investigations are carried out to maximize the health benefits of mucilage and ensure its safety, especially upon long-term usage.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of flaxseed mucilage on the co-extrusion microencapsulation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. METHODS Core flow rate, chitosan coating, and flaxseed mucilage concentration were optimised for the microencapsulation of L. rhamnosus. The microbeads were characterised and evaluated on microencapsulation efficiency and cell released after 6 h of sequential digestion. RESULTS The optimised parameters for the L. rhamnosus microencapsulation were 1.0 mL/min core flow rate, 0.4% (w/v) chitosan coating, and 0.4% (w/v) flaxseed mucilage. The L. rhamnosus microbeads with flaxseed mucilage in core and wall materials had a smooth surface with 781.3 µm diameter, the highest microencapsulation efficiency (98.8% w/w), lowest swelling (5196.7% w/w) and erosion ratio (515.5% w/w), and least cell release (<40% w/w) with 9.31 log10 CFU mL-1 after sequential digestion. CONCLUSIONS This study showed the protective capacity of flaxseed mucilage towards the L. rhamnosus GG during microencapsulation and gastrointestinal environment.

Effect of Potato Pulp Pectic Polysaccharide on the Stability of Acidified Milk Drinks. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25235632.

Abstract
In order to broaden the application of potato pulp pectic polysaccharide (PPP) in stabilizing acidified milk drinks (AMDs) and investigate the stabilizing effect and physical properties of AMDs prepared with PPP, a comparative study was made among PPP, commercial high methoxyl pectin (HMP) and low methoxyl pectin (LMP). The zeta potential, rheology, particle size and serum separation of AMDs were evaluated after preparing with PPP, HMP and LMP, respectively. Results indicated that PPP led to lower serum separation than LMP (14.65% for AMDs prepared with 0.5% PPP compared to 25.05% for AMDs prepared with 0.5% LMP), but still higher than HMP (9.09% for AMDs prepared with 0.5% HMP). However, narrower particle size distribution and lower viscosity of AMDs was achieved by PPP than by LMP and HMP. PPP can electrostatically adsorb on the surface of casein and its abundant neutral sugar side chains would provide steric hindrance to prevent casein flocculation in AMDs. Our results might provide some new ideas for the application of PPP in improving the stability of AMDs.

The Effect of Cladode Drying Techniques on the Prebiotic Potential and Molecular Characteristics of the Mucilage Extracted from Opuntia ficus-indica and Opuntia joconostle. Sci Pharm 2020.

Abstract
The dry, powdered cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica are often-used in over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical formulations. Gentle drying techniques, such as lyophilization and vacuum drying are compared with convection drying for the cladodes and also compared with another species of economic importance, Opuntia joconostle. The heteropolysaccharide purified from the mucilage extracted from the dried powders were investigated in their monosaccharide composition (HPAEC-PAD, TLC), mineral and protein content, molecular dimensions (SEC) and fermentability by probiotic bacteria (Bioscreen technique) for evaluation of the prebiotic potential of the mucilage. The heteropolysaccharide is composed of galactose, arabinose, xylose, galacturonic acid and rhamnose. O. ficus-indica includes an additional 13% of glucose coming from an α-glucan. The content of Ca (0.3%) and Mg (0.4%) is relatively low in both species; the content of protein adds up to 1.5% in O. ficus-indica but is significantly lower in O. joconostle with 0.8%. The average molecular mass Mw of the extracted mucilage ranges from 3.7 to 4.7 × 105 g∙mol−1 for both species; only the mucilage from long-time convection drying (C2) delivers a lower average Mw of 2.6 × 105 g∙mol−1, due to partial breakdown of the mucilage matrix. All tested probiotic strains utilized the mucilage to some extent; C2 being the most active, and thus confirms the prebiotic potential of cladode’s powder and its derived products. In general, the molecular dimensions and prebiotic potential are not extremely sensitive to the drying treatment, yet temperature and drying time can modify the cladode’s powder to a profile with better prebiotic characteristics.

J Food Biochem 2020; 44:e13171. [PMID: 32150765 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.13171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Three polysaccharide fractions from bamboo shoot (Chimonobambusa quadrangularis), CPS70, CPS75, and CPS80, were prepared using a final ethanol concentration of 70%, 75%, and 80% in the precipitation process. In vitro digestibility and the prebiotic activity of CPS70, CPS75, and CPS80 were evaluated and compared. The results indicated that all three of the CPS fractions exhibit a high degree of nondigestibility to human gastric juice (>98.5%) or α-amylase hydrolysis (>94.5%). Compared with the blank control, the three CPS fractions could not only significantly (p < .05) stimulate the proliferation of B. adolescentis, B. infantis, B. bifidum, and L. acidophilus, but also significantly (p < .05) enhance the production of lactic, acetic, propionic, and butyric acids when these polysaccharides were added as alternative carbon sources to glucose during the in vitro fermentation of four probiotics. Furthermore, when comparing the three CPS fractions, CPS75 displayed the strongest prebiotic potential, as this polysaccharide had the strongest effect on the proliferation of probiotic bacteria as well as the greatest effect on SCFAs production. These results demonstrated that the concentration of ethanol used during the precipitation process has a significant impact on the prebiotic activity of CPS. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Ethanol precipitation is the first step when extracting polysaccharides from aqueous extracts as it is simple, rapid, and easy to carry out. This study focuses on how different concentrations of ethanol used in the precipitation process affect the prebiotic potential of bamboo shoot (Chimonobambusa quadrangularis) polysaccharides (CPS). The result indicated that the concentration of ethanol used during the precipitation process has a significant impact on the prebiotic activity of CPS. To our knowledge, it is the first to evaluate the effects of the concentration of ethanol during the process of precipitation on prebiotic potential of polysaccharides, which can subsequently be applied to the optimization of ethanol concentration when precipitating natural polysaccharides for the purpose of in vitro fermentation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to better understand the chemical characteristics and chain conformation of okra polysaccharides extracted by ultrasonic-assisted extraction. A pectic-polysaccharide, named OPP-D, was obtained, which was mainly composed of rhamnose, galacturonic acid, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1.01:1.00:2.31. Combined with NMR analysis, -4)-α-d-GalAp-(1,2,4)-α-l-Rhap-(1- were identified as the backbone with galactan side chains substituted partly at O-4 of Rhap. Molecular weight and radius of gyration of OPP-D were determined as 2.19 × 105 Da and 27.0 nm, respectively. OPP-D was determined as an air-core sphere with branching chains in 0.9% NaCl solution by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering and dynamic light scattering for the first time. Moreover, OPP-D exhibited typical shear-thinning behavior. In addition, OPP-D exhibited remarkable in vitro antioxidant activities and prebiotic activities, while the relatively high molecular weight, high degree of esterification, high content of uronic acids, and highly branched globular conformation of OPP-D might contribute to its in vitro anti-diabetic activities and binding capacities. Results can contribute to a better understanding of the structure–bioactivity relationship of OPPs, and OPP-D has great potential applications in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The fermentation behaviour of sulfated polysaccharides (GLP) and their agaro-oligosaccharides (GLO) derived from Gracilaria lemaneiformis were examined. During in vitro fermentation, GLP and GLO increased the concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and modulated the composition and diversity of gut microorganisms compared with control groups. GLP increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes, while GLO increased the abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Moreover, the abundances of potential pathogenic bacteria were reduced. Molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity of GLP decreased significantly from 2.15 × 105 to 1.22 × 105 Da, 374.45-113.91 mL/g, respectively. Furthermore, GLP was degraded into smaller degree of polymerization of oligosaccharides, with no significant change observed in GLO. Overall, this study revealed GLP and GLO could be beneficial for gastrointestinal tract by producing SCFAs and modulating intestinal microbes, indicating GLP and GLO are potentially sources of prebiotics in functional foods.

Abstract
As the demand for healthy products targeted to prevent or ameliorate bowel disease and digestive disorders of the intestinal tract is increasing, this review describes non-starch polysaccharides, such as β-glucan, arabinoxylan, galactomannan, fructan, and heteropolysaccarides from mucilages, as useful sources for adequate and tailor-made products aimed for regulation of the colon and wellbeing effects on the gut microbiota. Their monosaccharide composition, structure, molecular dimensions, physicochemical characteristics and growth stimulation of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the gut microbiota is reported. Arabinoxylan from wheat and rye grains is discussed as an ingredient for gluten and lectin-free bread and baked goods. Galactomannans from legumes and their partially hydrolysed products are presented as sources for specific healthy products against bowel disease and digestive discomfort. Commercial fructan products obtained from inulin, fructan of agave, and fructooligosaccharides are discussed in detail as a selective substrate for fermentation by health-promoting bacteria in the colon, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Structurally different heteropolysaccharides from mucilages of traditional medicinal plants, such as seeds from psyllium, flax, chan, chia, and basil or cladodes from Opuntia spp., are discussed as useful sources of dietary fibre, with prebiotic characteristics and digestive regulation in the intestinal tract as well.

Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 115:1218-1224. [PMID: 29702172 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.04.129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2018] [Revised: 04/20/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers (ESNFs) were prepared from mucilage isolated from chan and linaza beans and mozote stem commercially available in Costa Rica. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as an aiding agent. Mucilage/PVA mixed solutions of different volume ratios (100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100) were prepared and adjusted to be similar in viscosity and electrical conductivity suitable for electrospinning. Morphology of the ESNFs was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies were used to characterize chemical composition and thermal characteristics of the nanofibers (NFs). The ability of the NFs to support fibroblast cell proliferation was investigated in vitro using the optimized mucilage/PVA solutions. Results show plant mucilage-based ESNFs are well-suited for fibroblast cell growth, significantly better than ESNFs of PVA; and the mucilage of chan beans is better than those of mozote and linaza for supporting cell proliferation.

Abstract
Food-derived polysaccharides have advantages over synthetical compounds and have attracted interest globally for decades. In this study, we optimized the cellulase-assisted extraction of polysaccharides from white hyacinth bean (PWBs) with the aid of response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum extraction parameters were a pH of 7.79, a cellulase of 2.73%, and a ratio of water to material of 61.39, producing a high polysaccharide yield (3.32 ± 0.03)%. The scavenging ability of PWBs varied on three radicals (hydroxyl > 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) > superoxide). Furthermore, PWBs contributed to the proliferation of three probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA5, Bifidobacterium bifidum BB01, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB6). These investigations of PWBs provide a novel bioresource for the exploitation of antioxidant and probiotic bacterial proliferation.

Abstract
Plantago notata (Plantaginaceae) is a spontaneous plant from Septentrional Algerian Sahara currently used by traditional healers to treat stomach disorders, inflammations or wound healing. A water-soluble polysaccharide, called PSPN (PolySaccharide fraction from Plantago Notata), was extracted and purified from the seeds of this semi-arid plant. The structural features of this mucilage were evaluated by colorimetric assays, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and 1H/13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. PSPN is a heteroxylan with a backbone composed of β-(1,3)-d-Xylp and β-(1,4)-d-Xylp highly branched, through (O)-2 and (O)-3 positions of β-(1,4)-d-Xylp by various side chains and terminal monosaccharides such as α-l-Araf-(1,3)-β-d-Xylp, β-d-Xylp-(1,2)-β-d-Xylp, terminal Xylp or terminal Araf. The physico-chemical and rheological analysis of this polysaccharide in dilute and semi diluted regimes showed that PSPN exhibites a molecular weight of 2.3×106g/mol and a pseudoplastic behavior.
