A New Water-Soluble Polysaccharide from Perennial Rye Grass Pasture

Isolation of octopamine from annual rye grass.

Extraction, purification and characterization of a new Water-soluble polysaccharide from Acanthophyllum bracteatum roots

Recently there has been an increase in the demand of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides from plants have the advantage over those from animals because of their friendly image towards consumers. A lot of work has been done to study the chemical composition and functionality of polysaccharides. However, there is still place in the polysaccharide market for new sources of plant polysaccharides. Acan...

Milk Production from a Tropical Legume-grass Pasture

One member of each of three pairs of monozygous twin dairy cows was fed freshly cut Glycine javanica and kikuyu-grass pasture ad libitum while the co-twins were fed lucerne hay ad libitum and a concentrate mixture. The mean daily digestible organic matter and digestible crude protein intakes for the cows fed pasture were 7.0 kg and 1.35 kg, and for the cows fed hay and concentrates were 10.2 kg...

In vitro and in vivo antioxidant activity of a water-soluble polysaccharide from Dendrobium denneanum.

The water-soluble crude polysaccharide (DDP) obtained from the aqueous extracts of the stem of Dendrobium denneanum through hot water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation, was found to have an average molecular weight (Mw) of about 484.7 kDa. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that DDP was composed of arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose and galactose in a molar ratio of 1.00:2.66:8.92:34....

In vitro Antioxidant of a Water-Soluble Polysaccharide from Dendrobium fimhriatum Hook.var.oculatum Hook

A water-soluble crude polysaccharide (DFHP) obtained from the aqueous extracts of the stem of Dendrobium fimhriatum Hook.var.oculatum Hook through hot water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation, was found to have an average molecular weight (Mw) of about 209.3 kDa. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that DFHP was composed of mannose, glucose and galactose in a content ratio of 37.52%; 43....
