Pectin is natural biopolymer derived from various plant sources and its activity is driven by
functional groups. Affinity of pectin and chemical interactions of the active sites to chemicals …

Pectins are a part of daily diet as well as food additives that are indigestible polysaccharides
by human enzymes, however, they can be easily degraded by gut bacteria with the …

Background Pectin is a natural prebiotic with great potential for encapsulating probiotics to
prepare synbiotics. Despite that the variety of raw materials and the output of agricultural by …

In this paper, the effects of pectin (PE) with different concentrations on the pasting,
rheological and digestibility properties of corn starch (CS) were evaluated. The Rapid Visco …

Citric acid-esterified rice starch was synthesized using a one-step reactive extrusion method.
The structure, physicochemical properties, and digestibility of the esterified starch were then …

Capillary electrophoresis has emerged as a powerful approach for carbohydrate analyses
since 2014. The method provides high resolution capable of separating carbohydrates by …

This study investigated effects of longan seed polyphenols (LSPs) on the structure and
digestion properties of starch, and discussed the interaction mechanism between starch and …

As the prevalence of obesity and diabetes has continued to increase rapidly in recent years,
dietary approaches to regulating glucose homeostasis have gained more attention. Starch is …

This study shows that soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) has different anti-
retrogradation effects on different types of starches and demonstrates the mechanism. Maize …

The physicochemical properties and structure of starch can be influenced by non-starch
polysaccharides. The effect of Konjac glucomannan (KGM) on retrogradation and …
