In the literature, curdlan has been extensively studied to improve the quality of noodles but its use in the making of durum wheat semolina pasta and high-fiber pasta has not been considered. This study sought to examine the impacts of curdlan addition on the rheological characteristics of dough as well as on the textural and cooking quality, predicted glycemic index, in-vitro protein digestibility and sensory acceptance of high-fiber pasta. In this investigation, different dosages of curdlan were used in the making of high-fiber pasta fortified with watermelon rind and the resulting pasta quality was assessed. When the dosage of curdlan rose from 0 to 2.5% of the blend weight, the breaking strength and breaking distance of raw high-fiber pasta increased significantly. The cohesiveness, hardness, chewiness, elongation rate, tensile strength, cooking quality, and overall acceptability of the supplemented pasta were improved, while the adhesiveness decreased by 76% when comparing pasta samples added with 0% and 2.5% curdlan. The incorporation of curdlan did not have a considerable effect on color of the uncooked pasta samples. Nevertheless, the in-vitro protein digestibility was reduced with increasing curdlan dosage. Importantly, the predicted glycemic index of high-fiber pasta added with 2.5% curdlan was reduced by 1.5 times compared to the pasta sample without curdlan addition, highlighting the potential of curdlan as a food hydrocolloid for enhancing human health. Generally, curdlan was considered a prospective hydrocolloid to improve textural, cooking and sensory quality as well as health effect of the high-fiber pasta fortified with watermelon rind powder.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38299,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 100464"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kefiran was isolated from kefir grains and its biological activity was assessed on different cell lines.

Kefiran maintained mitochondrial activity while increased cell death processes in a dose-dependent way in HT29 cell line.

PLSs have hydrophilic chains containing various chemical groups of several compositions that differ structurally and in their physicochemical and biological effects. However, this hydrophilic nature of PLSs is also responsible for some limitations in the use of these compounds. To overcome these disadvantages, PLSs can be chemically modified by grafting groups that can give the compound a more hydrophobic nature. In the present study, the PLS from <em>Gracilaria domingensis</em> was modified with propionic anhydride (PLS-AP) and underwent complementary characterizations by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectral analysis and elemental analysis. The reaction with propionic anhydride increased crystallinity and produced a chemically modified polysaccharide with new carbon, hydrogen and sulfur groups. The new characteristic of the compound may have added interesting properties to PLS, such as increased stability, amphiphilic nature and increased sulfate content, which in red marine algae SPSs produce biological activity. Regarding biological properties, PLS-AP (2.5 mg/kg) significantly reduced paw edema induced by carrageenan, histamine, serotonin, bradykinin and prostaglandin E2, as well as improved microscopic tissue damage criteria. The modified compound was also able to significantly decrease neutrophil migration, myeloperoxidase, and malondialdehyde concentrations and preserved glutathione levels in peritoneal fluid during induced peritonitis. Additionally, in antinociceptive tests, PLS-AP reduced the number of contortions induced by acetic acid and the response time to formalin-induced paw licking. Thus, PLS-AP may be a promising substance to treat inflammatory conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38299,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100459"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142653334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molecular degradation led to a decrease in the molecular weight of TSP and LBG with the gradual decrease of pH, accompanied by a shift in solution conformation, i.e., from semi-flexible chain to rigid rod for TSP and LBG, whereas XG did not undergo significant structural changes with the gradual decrease of pH. In addition, the SEM results showed that with the gradual decrease of molecular weight, the structures of TSP and LBG were gradually broken and showed fragmentation, while XG only showed slight cracks.
