The nutritional function of active polysaccharides from marine animals: A review

Aloe polysaccharides ameliorate obesity-associated cognitive dysfunction in high-fat diet-fed mice by targeting the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity

“…26 Polysaccharides come from a variety of sources, including fruits, 27 vegetables, 28 grains, 29 edible fungi, 30 and marine organisms. 31 It is worth noting that aloe vera and its extracts are also considered valuable resources for alleviating obesity, related metabolic syndrome and intestinal barrier damage. 18,32,33 In this study, our findings confirmed that AP supplementation can significantly inhibit the HF-induced inflammatory response in mice, which was accompanied by a decrease in the serum LPS level, improving cognitive impairment.…”

Food Polysaccharides and Proteins: Processing, Characterization, and Health Benefits

“…The biological activities of natural polysaccharides extracted from various sources may not always meet satisfactory requirements and can even demonstrate suboptimal performance. The exploration and molecular modification of polysaccharide resources play a crucial role in promoting the utilization of polysaccharides in both the food and non-food industries [9,10]. Among the manuscripts accepted by the Special Issue, the exopolysaccharide (EPS) was successfully isolated and purified from probiotic Enterococcus hirae WEHI01.…”
