Guar, Locust Bean, Tara, and Fenugreek Gums

Viscosity of guar gum and xanthan/guar gum mixture solutions

“…1 This polysaccharide is formed by galactose and mannose molecules. The principal backbone is a chain of (1±4)-b-D-mannopyranosyl units, with single (1±6) a-Dgalactopyranosyl units linked to the principal chain.…”

Automated UV-C Mutagenesis of Kluyveromyces marxianus NRRL Y-1109 and Selection for Microaerophilic Growth and Ethanol Production at Elevated Temperature on Biomass Sugars

“…It is commonly used as a thickener in foods and as a thickener and suspending agent in oilfield applications. 41 Therefore, enzymatic modification and biodegradation of guar are of potential interest. To use guar as a carbon source, an organism would most likely need to produce at least an α-galactosidase and quite likely also an endo-β-D-mannanase and a β-mannosidase, although these enzymes have not been reported for K. marxianus.…”

Biscoitos de polvilho azedo enriquecidos com fibras solúveis e insolúveis

“…Conforme Maier et al (1993), as fibras solúveis tendem a formar géis em contato com a água e desta forma auxiliam no aumento de retenção de umidade, promovendo a maciez em produtos de panificação (MAIER et al, 1993).…”
