Summary: This study presents a novel method for producing high-quality resistant glucan by investigating its structural mechanism of indigestibility. High-pressure processing effectively eliminated crystal peaks and enhanced the efficiency of digestive enzymes. The presence of alpha-1,6 and 8 -linkages in resistant glucans hindered the hydrolysis of short chains, resulting in higher indigestibility.

Summary: We demonstrate that enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be observed in zero- and low-field NMR experiments by combining recent advances in parahydrogen-based hyperpolarization methods with state-of-the-art magnetometry. The use of zero- to ultralow-field (ZULF) NMR provides advantages in process monitoring and has applications beyond hydrogenation reactions. The study investigated two model biological processes and constructed a microfluidic zero-field NMR setup.

Summary: This study investigated the microwave-assisted degradation of beta-(1 -> 3,1 -> 6)-D-glucan from Ganoderma lucidum and its immunoregulatory activities. The degradation process yielded a high rate of degradation and abundant beta-oligosaccharide products with different degrees of polymerization. The immunoregulation activity of these beta-glucooligosaccharides was correlated with their degrees of polymerization and the ratios of beta-(1 -> 3) to beta-(1 -> 6)-linked glucose units.

Summary: In this study, a concise and direct method for quantitatively analyzing monosaccharide compositions of plant polysaccharides was developed using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed-amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) and a single marker approach (QAMS). The HPAEC-PAD-QAMS method was successfully applied to determine the monosaccharide contents of polysaccharides from Panax quinquefolium and Achyranthes bidentata, and a fingerprinting analysis of Panax quinquefolium polysaccharides was established using HPAEC-PAD.

Summary: The quantification of alpha-Galacto-oligosaccharides in beans has been approached through different methodologies, but with reported contents showing up to 8-times disparity. This study aimed to optimize and validate the extraction of the most abundant GOS found in beans and comparatively assess their determination by HPAEC/PAD and GC/MS. GC/MS determination was found to be more reliable than HPAEC/PAD, and stachyose was identified as the main GOS component in all samples.

Summary: In this article, we present 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods that can provide high-resolution structural fingerprints of ASOs. The 1D H-1 and P-31 measurements can rapidly assess the integrity of ASOs, while the 2D H-1-H-1, H-1-C-13, and H-1-(15)N experiments enable resonance assignment and tracking of structural changes at high-resolution during drug development and manufacturing processes. These NMR approaches are expected to be applicable to fully formulated ASO therapeutics beyond PMOs.

Summary: β-glucan is a dietary fiber component in wheat that has health benefits related to its structure and solubility. This study quantified β-glucan in different wheat milling fractions, revealing low content in the white flour fractions and higher amounts in bran-containing fractions. It was also found that a higher proportion of β-glucan in white flour was soluble compared to bran. The study concludes that while total β-glucan content in white flour is low, it is highly soluble, and high extraction and wholemeal flours have the potential to be a significant source of β-glucan.

Summary: This study investigated the structural and functional differences of dextrans produced at different pH values and conditions using dextransucrase released by L. hordeiTMW 1.1822. It was found that pH and molecular weight significantly influenced the rheological properties of dextrans. Pre-culture conditions and the addition of maltose also played roles in affecting the production and types of dextrans.

Summary: This study investigated the functionality of two Lactococcus lactis strains producing exopolysaccharide (EPS) in concentrated acid milk gels, and found that the ropy and cell-bound EPS from strain LL-1+ contributed to higher gel stiffness and improved serum retention, resulting in a more 'creamy' texture in the gel suspensions compared to non-ropy EPS from strain LL-2. The structural analysis revealed that the higher hydrodynamic radius of the ropy EPS from LL-1+ was responsible for these features, indicating the potential for the manufacture of low-fat fresh cheese with tailored functionality.

Summary: Homoexopolysaccharides (HoEPS) like alpha-glucans and beta-fructans are synthesized by certain types of bacteria. Methylation analysis is an important tool for studying the structure of these polysaccharides, but the conditions for analysis need to be adjusted for different types of HoEPS. Ultrasonication is crucial for swelling and deprotonation of water insoluble alpha-glucans, while water soluble HoEPS do not require ultrasonication. Acid hydrolysis conditions also differ for different HoEPS. Overall, our results demonstrate the need for customized conditions in methylation analysis of bacterial HoEPS.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the individual contribution of isolated free exopolysaccharides (fEPS) and cell-attached capsular exopolysaccharides (cEPS) from two S. thermophilus strains to the techno-functional properties of fermented milk. The results show that ST-1G EPS has a higher moisture content and slower moisture desorption compared to ST-2E EPS, contributing to reduced syneresis in fermented milk. On the other hand, ST-2E EPS has higher gel viscosity due to its higher intrinsic viscosity and molecular mass of ropy fEPS.

Summary: The study focuses on the techno-functionality of five dextrans from W. cibaria DSM14295, which were produced under different cultivation conditions. The dextrans differ in molecular mass, intrinsic viscosity, degree of branching, side chain length, and architecture. The stiffness of acid gels spiked with these dextrans increased linearly with dextran concentration. Dextrans from W. cibaria DSM14295 have a high potential due to their high production yield and ability to be tailored by fermentation conditions.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
