Mucoadhesive microbeads of low methoxyl pectin were prepared, either alone or in combinations with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and carbopol 934P, by ionotropic gelation. The influence of copolymers on mucoadhesivity, microbeads characteristics and in vitro drug release was investigated. Spherical microbeads with 78.69±0.59 to 85.84±0.78% drug...

This study aims to optimize extraction and drying conditions of fig syrup. Drying was done in a pilot scale two-fluid nozzle spray dryer. A total of 27 experiments were conducted with varying inlet air temperatures, air flow rates, and also a maltodextrin (MD)- low methoxyl pectin (LMP) ratios. While feed rate, feed temperature, and compressed air flow rate of the atomizer were kept constant. T...

One-day-old broiler chickens were fed on a control diet based on maize and maize starch or diets containing 30 g/kg of 89% deacetylated chitin (chitosan) or low-methoxyl (34% degree of esterification) pectin. Feeding of the chitosan diet to chickens significantly reduced body weights and feed intakes compared with animals fed on control or pectin diets on days 5 and 11 of the experiment. On day...

Azanza garckeana (snot apple) is an underutilized indigenous fruit of southern Africa. The study was aimed at determining the functional characteristics and potential use extracted pectin from A. fruits Zimbabwe. were collected a semi-arid communal area Nhema, Pectin properties determined using standard methods. Fruit jam formulated with 53% (w/v) U. kirkiana pulp, 45% sugar, 1.5% pectin, 0.5% ...

Our previous study isolated an anti-fatigue polysaccharide (HRWP) from the Hippophae rhamnoides berry. In this study, using ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography in turn, a water-soluble homogenous polysaccharide HRWP-A was isolated from HRWP. Structural analysis determined that HRWP-A was a polysaccharide with repeating units of (1→4)-β-d-galactopyranosyluronic residues...

The high-methoxyl pectin of citrus was used to prepare a fat substitute and applied the processing technology moon-cake skin. physical, chemical, sensory properties substitutes prepared skins were studied by selecting texture properties, rheological water distribution, water-holding capacity. Results showed that gel hardness glucan–sucrose (G-SG) (glucan/sucrose = 4:6) as synergistic 6.23 ± 0.1...
