Hydrophobic Interaction in the Gelation of High Methoxyl Pectins
David Oakenfull,Alan Scott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of hydrophobic interaction between the ester methyl groups in the gelation of high methoxyl pectins was investigated by using temperature and different cosolutes.

G. S. Sidhu,David Oakenfull +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of different saponins on absorption of the bile salt sodium cholate from perfused loops of small intestine, in vivo, in the rat finds control of plasma cholesterol and nutrient absorption through dietary saponin could provide substantial health and nutritional benefits in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saponin content of food plants and some prepared foods.
TL;DR: Saponins were present in falafels, canned baked beans, canned broad beans and protein isolate from faba beans, however, the saponin content of a fermented soya bean product (tempe) was only half that of whole soya beans.
