Journal ArticleDOI
Films based on kefiran, an exopolysaccharide obtained from kefir grain: Development and characterization
Judith Piermaría,Judith Piermaría,Adriana Noemi Pinotti,Adriana Noemi Pinotti,Maria Alejandra Garcia,Analia Graciela Abraham,Analia Graciela Abraham +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ability of a glucogalactan to form polysaccharide grains and the effect of glycerol addition at different concentrations on their properties was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kefiran films plasticized with sugars and polyols: water vapor barrier and mechanical properties in relation to their microstructure analyzed by ATR/FT-IR spectroscopy
Judith Piermaría,Judith Piermaría,Alejandra Bosch,Adriana Noemi Pinotti,Adriana Noemi Pinotti,Osvaldo Yantorno,Maria Alejandra Garcia,Analia Graciela Abraham,Analia Graciela Abraham +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different sugars (glucose, galactose, sucrose) and polyols (glycerol and sorbitol) as plasticizers on kefiran film properties was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gelling properties of kefiran, a food-grade polysaccharide obtained from kefir grain
Judith Piermaría,Judith Piermaría,Mariano L. de la Canal,Analia Graciela Abraham,Analia Graciela Abraham +4 more
TL;DR: The physicochemical and gelling properties of kefiran, a water-soluble glucogalactan with probed health-promoting properties, were investigated in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Edible kefiran films as vehicle for probiotic microorganisms
Judith Piermaría,Judith Piermaría,Gabriela Diosma,Gabriela Diosma,C. Aquino,Graciela Liliana Garrote,Analia Graciela Abraham,Analia Graciela Abraham +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an edible kefiran matrix containing Lactobacillus plantarum and K. marxianus CIDCA 8154 was developed for probiotic delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct effect of ghrelin on leptin production by cultured rat white adipocytes.
Andrés Giovambattista,Judith Piermaría,María O. Suescun,Ricardo S. Calandra,Rolf C. Gaillard,Eduardo Spinedi +5 more
TL;DR: This study tested whether ghrelin could contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis, directly affecting rat white adipocyte leptin production, and found that it did so by directly affecting the production of leptin.
