Characterization of a pectic polysaccharide from the fruit of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ziziphus jujuba</Emphasis>

A pectic polysaccharide was isolated from the fruits of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. jinsixiaozao Hort. and its structure was characterized by acid hydrolysis, methylation, and NMR spectroscopies. The purified fraction Ju-B-7 had a molecular mass of over 2000 kDa. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses indicated that Ju-B-7 is composed mainly of α-1,4-linked D-galactopyranosyluronic acid and 1,2-linked L-rhamnose with a molar ratio of 8.1:1. It can significantly stimulate spleen cell proliferation in vitro (P<0.01, 10 μmg/mL). Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 311–312, July–August, 2007.

Synthesis of MgAl2O4 Spinel Nanometer Powder via Biology Polysaccharide Assisted Sol-Gel Process

A novel and cost-effective sol-gel process for preparation of MgAl₂O₄ spinel nanometer powders has been developed in this study. A solution of magnesium and aluminum nitrates in stoichiometric proportion was successfully embraced in the biology polysaccharide gel network, formed by the synergistic interaction between xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG) utilizing their broad-spectrum stability of salt tolerance and character of transformation from sol to gel on the condition of proper temperature and relative proportion of polymeric components. Dry gel could be obtained by vacuum dehydration of aqueous gel at low temperatures. Monolithic MgAl₂O₄ spinel nanometer powders were produced by calcining the dry gel above 800°C, with average crystallite size of 20 nanometers.

Studies on mass production of transformed Panax ginseng hairy roots in bioreactor

The growth properties of Panax ginseng hairy roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes were compared between flask and aerated column or stirred bioreactor. In flask cultures, sucrose, initially 30 g/L, was nearly exhausted after 45 d of culture. The pH of the medium dropped from 5.5 to 4.96 after 10 d, but afterward it gradually increased to 6.4. After 45 d, hairy roots grew about 16-folds. The growth rate of hairy roots in air-bubble column or stirred bioreactor cultures was 1.13 (1.11) to 1.23 (1.20) g fresh wt (dry wt)/(g of cells·d), respectively. For both bioreactors, growth was about three times as high as in the flask cultivation.

Steric interactions mediated by multiblock polymers and biopolymers: role of block size and addition of hydrophilic side chains

To a first approximation, the primary structure of many food proteins maybe thought of as a sequence of short hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks. The influence of this type of structure on the steric-stabilising properties of such proteins has been considered here. In line with previous studies, using Self-Consistent-Field calculations, it has been shown that the presence of such protein molecules can lead to attraction and consequently bridging flocculation of colloidal particles. In the low adsorption energy limit for the hydrophobic groups (−1k_BT), it is found that the steric potential is significantly influenced by the changes in the number of adsorbed segments, as two surfaces are brought together. This is in contrast to the well-known results in the literature for the high adsorption limiting cases, where the number of such segments remains constant. In particular, the changes in the number of adsorbed hydrophobic units are observed not to be a monotonic function of the separation distance, but increase or decrease in reasonable accord with the oscillatory nature of the steric interactions, observed for various block sizes. Effects of the addition of a moderately sized hydrophilic side chain to the above molecules have also been studied. It is found that, in principle, such a modification can lead to a purely repulsive steric potential in solutions of these hybrid biopolymers. At the hydrophilic side chain sizes considered here, the surface affinity of the molecules is observed not to be drastically different compared to those of unmodified proteins.
