TL;DR: In this article, the influence of three pseudoplastic hydrocolloids, oat gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on sensory perception of sweetness and flavour was studied in model systems at two viscosity levels.

TL;DR: The administration of lipid protective polysaccharides in cosmetic formulations or sunscreens could be helpful for the protection of the human skin against UV induced damage.

TL;DR: In this article, the rheological behavior and synergistic character of mixed polysaccharide systems are examined for blends of xanthan with enzymatically-modified guar, where the enzyme α-galactosidase is used to selectively cleave off the galactose side chains of guar in order to obtain galactomannans with tailored molecular architecture.

TL;DR: It is concluded that guar gum attenuates the fall in blood pressure after oral glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, presumably by slowing glucose absorption.
Abstract: Postprandial hypotension occurs frequently in diabetes; the fall in blood pressure is greatest after ingestion of carbohydrate, particularly glucose and, in type 2 diabetes, is related to the rate of gastric emptying. The aim of this study was to determine whether slowing of gastric emptying by guar gum reduces the fall in blood pressure after oral glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. Eleven type 2 patients managed by diet alone, age 61.9 ± 1.3 years, had measurements of gastric emptying, blood pressure, blood glucose, and serum insulin on two occasions after ingestion of 300 ml water containing 50 g glucose, with or without 9 g guar gum. The magnitude of the fall in blood pressure was less (P < 0.05) and gastric emptying slower (P < 0.05) after guar. Blood glucose (P < 0.05) and serum insulin (P < 0.01) concentrations were lower after guar. The magnitude of the fall in systolic blood pressure was related to gastric emptying of glucose at 30 min on the control day (r = 0.67, P < 0.05). We conclude that guar gum attenuates the fall in blood pressure after oral glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, presumably by slowing glucose absorption.

TL;DR: In this article, Sensory paired comparison tests were used to study differences in taste intensity in solutions of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) at concentrations above (1.0% w/w) c*, the coil-overlap concentration (the point at which viscosity changes abruptly with increasing thickener).
