Xanthan gum is a naturally occurring polysaccharide obtained from Xanthomonas
campestris. The xanthan gum backbone consists of β-d-glucose linked like in cellulose. The …

In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Natural polysaccharides are well known for their biocompatibility, non-toxicity and
biodegradability. These properties are also inherent to xanthan gum (XG), a microbial …

Xanthan gum is a microbial high molecular weight exo-polysaccharide produced by
Xanthomonas bacteria (a Gram-negative bacteria genus that exhibits several different …

Comprehensive in scope, Food Polysaccharides and Their Applications, Second Edition
explains the production aspects and the chemical and physical properties of the main …

Mushrooms have been valued as edible and medicinal resources, and antitumor
substances have been identified in many mushroom species. Polysaccharides are the best …

Some polysaccharides isolated from natural sources show various important biological
activities, such as antitumor, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects, which are …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) system has evolved into a useful tool for direct
measurements of micro-structural parameters and unraveling the intermolecular forces at …

We systematically investigate polysaccharide binders for high-capacity silicon anodes in
lithium ion batteries to find critical factors for the binder function. Analogous to the millipede's …

Environmental Context. The fate and behaviour of trace pollutants are very strongly
modified, and usually dominated, by their physical and chemical interactions with naturally …
