Characterization of an α-L-Rhamnosidase from Streptomyces avermitilis.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 77(1) , 213-6, (2013)

The putative α-L-rhamnosidase gene from Streptomyces avermitilis was cloned and expressed. The recombinant enzyme released L-rhamnose from p-nitrophenyl α-L-rhamnoside, Citrus flavonoids such as naringin, rutin, and hesperidin, and gum arabic which is an arab...

Periplasmic arabinogalactan glycoproteins act as a calcium capacitor that regulates plant growth and development.

New Phytol. 197(1) , 58-64, (2013)

Arabinogalactan glycoproteins (AGPs) are implicated in virtually all aspects of plant growth and development, yet their precise role remains unknown. Classical AGPs cover the plasma membrane and are highly glycosylated by numerous acidic arabinogalactan polys...

Efficacy of Acacia senegal for stoma care in children with colostomy.

Eur. J. Pediatr. Surg. 22(3) , 234-7, (2012)

The creation of a stoma on the abdomen and the need for appliance on the peristomal skin make this region vulnerable to inflammatory skin disorders. In this study, we introduce a novel protection with Acacia senegal and compare the protective effects of this ...

Application of edible coating and acidic washing for extending the storage life of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus).

Food Sci. Technol. Int. 18(6) , 523-30, (2012)

Hydrocolloid-based materials have been extensively used to coat fruit and vegetables to prolong shelf-life. The effects of different concentrations of acidic washing (acetic, ascorbic, citric and malic acids) followed by coating with gum arabic (GA), carboxym...

Micro-encapsulation of ozonated red pepper seed oil with antimicrobial activity and application to nonwoven fabric.

Lett. Appl. Microbiol. 56(3) , 168-79, (2013)

In recent years, functional fabrics possessing antimicrobial activity have drawn significant interest because antibiotic resistance is becoming widespread among pathogenic micro-organisms. The aim of this study was to produce microcapsules incorporating ozona...

Comparative efficacy of three brands of gum acacia on adenine-induced chronic renal failure in rats.

Physiol. Res. 62(1) , 47-56, (2013)

Gum acacia (GA) is used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries as an emulsifier and stabilizer, and in some countries in the traditional treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have previously found that GA ameliorates adenine-ind...

Carbohydrates inhibit salivary proteins precipitation by condensed tannins.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 60(15) , 3966-72, (2012)

Condensed tannins are a group of polyphenols that are associated with the astringency sensation, as they readily interact and precipitate salivary proteins. As this interaction is affected by carbohydrates, the aim of this work was to study the effect of some...

Macrophage immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharides isolated fromOpuntia polyacantha

Int. Immunopharmacol. 8(10) , 1455-66, (2008)

Opuntia polyacantha (prickly pear cactus) has been used extensively for its nutritional properties; however, less is known regarding medicinal properties of Opuntia tissues. In the present study, we extracted polysaccharides from O. polyacantha and used size-...

Morphology and structure of polymer layers protecting dental enamel against erosion.

Dent. Mater. 28(10) , 1089-97, (2012)

Human dental erosion caused by acids is a major factor for tooth decay. Adding polymers to acidic soft drinks is one important approach to reduce human dental erosion caused by acids. The aim of this study was to investigate the thickness and the structure of...

Irradiation depolymerized guar gum as partial replacement of gum Arabic for microencapsulation of mint oil.

Carbohydr. Polym. 90(4) , 1685-94, (2012)

Spray dried microcapsules of mint oil were prepared using gum Arabic alone and its blends with radiation or enzymatically depolymerized guar gum as wall materials. Microcapsules were evaluated for retention of mint oil during 8-week storage during which quali...
