“…The results obtained in the MTT assay ( Figure 6A) showed that fibroblast cell viability was not compromised during the 24 h and 72 h that cells were in contact with XG/KGM hydrogels. Such results were expected since the biocompatibility of XG and KGM-based hydrogels was previously reported in the literature [55][56][57].…”

Hydrogels are considered to be the most ideal materials for the production of wound dressings since they display a three-dimensional structure that mimics the native extracellular matrix of skin as well as a high-water content, which confers a moist environment at the wound site. Until now, different polymers have been used, alone or blended, for the production of hydrogels aimed for this biomedical application. From the best of our knowledge, the application of a xanthan gum–konjac glucomannan blend has not been used for the production of wound dressings. Herein, a thermo-reversible hydrogel composed of xanthan gum–konjac glucomannan (at different concentrations (1% and 2% w/v) and ratios (50/50 and 60/40)) was produced and characterized. The obtained data emphasize the excellent physicochemical and biological properties of the produced hydrogels, which are suitable for their future application as wound dressings.

“…[10][11][12] Therefore, KGM was used as an additive in surimi products to enhance the quality of surimi. [13][14][15] The KGM degradation product, which was obtained by g-irradiation with a 100 kGy dosage of 60 Co, interacted with Tilapia myobrillar proteins and prevented the network structure of gels from deterioration. 16 Liu et al (2017) suggested that konjac oligoglucomannan (KOG) had a positive effect on the conformational and functional properties of myosin.…”

“…for glucomannan production, a kind of low digestive and neutral carbohydrate that applicable to be used in food, beverage, pharmacy and other strategic industries (Haryani and Hargono, 2008;Sugiyama and Santosa, 2008;Keithley et al, 2013;Hananto et al, 2015;Dai et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2017). From 100 g dried chips, about 20-31 g pure glucomannan is obtained depend on extraction method (Dwiyono, 2014;Widjanarko and Suwasito, 2014).…”

Increasing corm production of iles-iles (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) through genetic improvement is important for increasing farmers’ income. However, the study on variety development is rarely reported. Here, yield evaluation of the second growing period was conducted at IPB Experimental Station Leuwikopo Farm, Bogor, Indonesia (-6.5647419, 106.7220331, 17.25z) from August 2017 to July 2018 in order to select candidate clone with high corm production. One-year-old corms of 21 F1 accessions were planted under 55% shading net with four replications. The parent population was set as a control. Results showed that accessions exhibited variation in corm size. The parent population produced corm ranged 622.3-908.3 g in weight (on average 764.2 g). The pooled accessions produced corm 180.7-1527.5 g in weight, corm diameter 71.0-145.8 mm, and corm height 46.6-87.6 mm. Nine accessions produced 5.91-99.88% higher average corms weight than the parent, i.e., BKB, BS, CF, CK, CR, DPG, DPP, SBM, and SHJ. Based on 30% as the basis of corm weight improvement, we concluded that five accessions, i.e., CK, CR, DPG, DPP, and SBM as prospective candidate clones. These accessions could be further evaluated in the third growing period to select best candidates of new variety of A. muelleri.Keywords: Agamosporous, Araceae, breeding strategy, new variety, productivity
