Production and characterization of exopolysaccharides from Chlorella zofingiensis and Chlorella vulgaris with anti-colorectal cancer activity.
TL;DR: The results showed that these exopolysaccharides from microalgae species had significant antitumor effects considering the inhibitory effects on cell viabilities, and are worth further investigating as alternative potential antitumour agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural investigation of a neutral extracellular glucan from Lactobacillus reuteri SK24.003.
TL;DR: The structural features of a neutral extracellular glucan derived from Lactobacillus reuteri SK24.003 suggested that a novel α-glucan produced by L. reuteris could be broadly used in food and material field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, purification and characterization of exopolysaccharide produced by Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides YF32 from soybean paste.
TL;DR: The results suggested that YF32 dextran has the potential to be applied in food fields as a food additive because it exhibited high thermal stability and high water solubility and emulsibility.
