High molecular weight plant heteropolysaccharides stimulate fibroblasts but inhibit keratinocytes.
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a natural polysaccharide of β(1-4)-D-glucomannopyranosyl backbone of D-mannose and D-glucose derived from the tuber of Amorphophallus konjac C. Koch. KGM has been reported to have a wide range of activities including wound healing. In this study we examined KGM extracts prepared from five plant species, (Amorphophallus konjac Koch, Amorphophallus oncophyllus, Amorpho...
متن کاملViscosity and Gel Formation of a Konjac Flour from Amorphophallus oncophyllus
The influences of different variables on the viscosity and gel formation of the konjac flour produced from Amorphophallus oncophyllus have been studied. At the concentration studied, the 1.5% konjac flour yielded a viscous solution than that of 0.5% konjac flour. The viscosity of konjac flour solution were unaffected by pH (pH 2 to pH 8), salt concentration (0-10% w/v), and high acid (pH 3.5) /...
متن کاملConstitutive and Secretory Expression of the AiiA in Pichia pastoris Inhibits Amorphophallus konjac Soft Rot Disease
Amorphophallus konjac is an important economic crop widely cultivated in Southeast Asia and Africa. However, A. konjac is seriously infected by soft rot pathogen. The endocellular acyl homoserine lactonase (AiiA) which is generated by Bacillus species has inhibitory effect on soft rot pathogen through disrupting the signal molecules (N-acylhomoserine lactones, AHL) of their Quorum Sensing syste...
متن کاملA simple and feasible approach to purify konjac glucomannan from konjac flour--temperature effect.
A simple one-step purification process was provided to extract KGM from KF by phase separation. The results showed that appropriate temperature control was a key factor and the products were inodorous, colourless and of high purity at the optimal temperature 68 °C. In this purification, soluble sugar and starch of extracted KGM were nearly clearly reduced and up to 95%, 80% (T68) of protein and...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of microsatellite loci for the herbaceous tuber crop, Amorphophallus konjac (Araceae).
Amorphophallus konjac is an herbaceous tuber crop with tremendous potential for commercial development. We report the development of microsatellite primers for this important crop species. Thirteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and tested in two populations of A. konjac from the Wuling Mountain Region (WL population) and the Yunnan Province (YN population) in China. The numb...
