Background: A number of microorganisms and their enzymes have been reported as xanthan depolymerizers. Paenibacillus species are well-known polysaccharide hydrolyzing bacteria. However, Paenibacillus alginolyticus and Paenibacillus sp.XD are the only species in the genus which are now known to degrade xanthan.Objectives: Complete biodegradation of the xan...

Background The xanthan gum production has been growing significantly. It is estimated an annual increase by about 5 to 10%. The production needs a carbon source in fermentation media and are commonly employed as glucose or sucrose, which accounts for about 50% of the cost of production. Therefore the use of agro-industrial residues, such as corn cob for the production of xanthan gum becomes sug...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas campestris LMG 8031, for which nearly no genetic information is available, despite its good xanthan-producing properties. We performed an Illumina-based sequencing approach of LMG 8031. The genome revealed a 5.0-Mb chromosome having 4,434 coding sequences and a G+C content of 65%.

ABSTRACT: Soya burger is one of the meat replacers with low cholesterol content and saturated fats. Regarding the gums application in food systems, the effect of adding xanthan (0,0.4, 0.6%) and caboxymethylcellulose gums (0,0.4,0.6%) on water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, shrinkage and sensory evaluation of soya burger have been investigated. It was found that the samples with xanthan ...

Background & Aim:The main aim of this study was stabilizing D. Sophia beverage and reduce its sedimentation rate. Experimental: Xanthan and Carboxy methyl cellulose gums have been used in three levels (0.05, .01 and .02 gr/lit) and mixture of Guar-xanthan and carboxymethyl cellulose (each .1 g/l) and extracted dried gum from D. Sophia in (1, 2 an...

Trans-cinnamic acid and p-coumaric are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of flavonoids widely employed food, flavor pharmaceutical industries. These products can be produced by deamination L-phenylalanine L-tyrosine catalyzed phenylalanine ammonia lyase or tyrosine lyase. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) from Rhodotorula glutinis do not exhibit strong substrate specificity co...

Polysaccharide-polysaccharide interactions are attractive in the food, polymer and pharmaceutical systems because they may impart novel or improved functional properties to products and reduce costs. In this work, the rheological interaction of sage seed gum (SSG) as a novel hydrocolloid with xanthan gum (XG) was studied in the dilute region. The intrinsic viscosity of the XG-SSG mixture at fiv...

Purpose: Venlafaxine hydrochloride sustained release formulation increases patient compliance by reducing frequency of administration and it also reduces side effects like nausea and vomiting. Hence the objective of present investigation was to develop triple layer sustained release tablets of venlafaxine HCl using xanthan gum or polyethylene oxide. Methods: The venlafaxine HCl 150 mg sustained...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 14 strains of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni and seven strains of X. axonopodis pv. phaseoli, which are used in xanthan production studies. Relationships identified by the AFLP profiles were assessed for xanthan production capacity, geographical location and host plant. Strains were isolated from 10 dif...
