“…In addition, when the preparation of this paper was virtually finished, several new reviews were published. These articles are related to various aspects of the preparation and properties of the diverse polymeric cryogels and cryostructurates, as well as to their application in such fields as materials science [ 414 , 415 , 416 ], biomedical technologies [ 417 , 418 , 419 , 420 , 421 ], biotechnology [ 422 , 423 ], food processing [ 424 ], and ecological problems and construction engineering [ 425 ]. Thus, such permanent publishing activity once again testifies to the undiminishing interest for the cryostructuring topic.…”

The processes of cryostructuring in polymeric systems, the techniques of the preparation of diverse cryogels and cryostructurates, the physico-chemical mechanisms of their formation, and the applied potential of these advanced polymer materials are all of high scientific and practical interest in many countries. This review article describes and discusses the results of more than 40 years of studies in this field performed by the researchers from the A.N.Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences—one of the key centers, where such investigations are carried out. The review includes brief historical information, the description of the main effects and trends characteristic of the cryostructuring processes, the data on the morphological specifics inherent in the polymeric cryogels and cryostructurates, and examples of their implementation for solving certain applied tasks.

“…Throughout the xanthan polymer building blocks or “repeat units”, the bacterium Xanthomonas forms five distinct sugar groups [ 148 , 149 ]. Thanks to its excellent gelling agents, Xanthan is being used in several food applications such as cheese spreads, ice creams, puddings, and other deserts [ 150 , 151 ]. According to Zia et al [ 152 ], one of the key priorities of milk farmers is to produce dairy products of high quality.…”

Polysaccharide materials are widely applied in different applications including food, food packaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound dressing, wastewater treatment, and bioremediation sectors. They were used in these domains due to their efficient, cost-effective, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. As is known, polysaccharides can be synthesized by different simple, facile, and effective methods. Of these polysaccharides are cellulose, Arabic gum, sodium alginate, chitosan, chitin, curdlan, dextran, pectin, xanthan, pullulan, and so on. In this current article review, we focused on discussing the synthesis and potential applications of microbial polysaccharides. The biosynthesis of polysaccharides from microbial sources has been considered. Moreover, the utilization of molecular biology tools to modify the structure of polysaccharides has been covered. Such polysaccharides provide potential characteristics to transfer toxic compounds and decrease their resilience to the soil. Genetically modified microorganisms not only improve yield of polysaccharides, but also allow economically efficient production. With the rapid advancement of science and medicine, biosynthesis of polysaccharides research has become increasingly important. Synthetic biology approaches can play a critical role in developing polysaccharides in simple and facile ways. In addition, potential applications of microbial polysaccharides in different fields with a particular focus on food applications have been assessed.

“…The organic food market is estimated more than 100 billion dollars in 2018 and is facing an important growth for the last decade [181]. Polysaccharides have versatile rheological properties, which affect their applications in food products [184]. Highly branched structures give to polysaccharides some good solubility, low viscosity, and gelation properties.…”

Polysaccharides are highly variable and complex biomolecules whose inventory of structures is still very incomplete, as nature still preserves unexplored biotopes. Plants, macroalgae and microalgae are an integral part of the daily life of human being regardless of culture, time, or knowledge development of a country. Natural medicine is an ancestral knowledge widely distributed throughout the world, handed down for centuries from generation to generation by those commonly referred to as “nganga” healers or shamans. It is also called alternative medicine or traditional medicine, and has been associated for millennia to legends. This review gives an emphasis regarding the ethnobotanic approach associated to the structural variability of poly- and oligosaccharides for designing the new polysaccharide-based drugs and hydrocolloids of tomorrow. The guiding thread is to survey the potential of plants (and some macroalgae) from Africa as a source of polysaccharides with original structures and, secondly, to correlate these structures with biological and/or functional properties in particular to address and advance the sustainable development and economic growth of mankind.
