Degradation models, structure, rheological properties and protective effects on erythrocyte hemolysis of the polysaccharides from Ribes nigrum L

Effects of ultrasound on the degradation kinetics, physicochemical properties and prebiotic activity of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide

“…This result could be caused by the combined action of ultrasonic cavitation and the thermal effect. The increase of temperature intensified the molecular thermal movement, thus promoting the degradation of FVP [31] . Particularly, the degradation rate reached the maximum at 60 °C.…”

Effects of combined ultrasonic and microwave vacuum drying on drying characteristics and physicochemical properties of Tremella fuciformis

“…The US3M-TFPs (6.75%) showed significantly higher uronic acid content than other dried samples ( p < 0.05), which may occur because MVD with high acoustic energy density airborne ultrasound can reduce the drying time and the amount of oxygen present during the drying process, thus inhibiting the oxidation of uronic acid. Another possible explanation is that the uronic acids in polysaccharides were exposed after ultrasonic treatment [4] , [34] .…”

Hydrogen Peroxide Effects on Natural-Sourced Polysacchrides: Free Radical Formation/Production, Degradation Process, and Reaction Mechanism—A Critical Synopsis

“…Besides the advantages of primary degradation methods such as being simple to operate or easy to handle (chemical method), environmentally friendly (physical method), low cost, good safety, and mild reaction condition (biological method), each method also has its limitations. Multiple studies have reported environmental pollution and serious safety concerns (chemical method), utilization of specialized equipment which limits their industrial application (physical method), and difficulty in the screening of enzymes and microbes (biological method), as some of the challenges attributed to these treatment methods for polysaccharide degradation [105][106][107][108]. With the aforementioned methods of polysaccharide degradation, the chemical degradation through the oxidation method (either singly or combined) continues to attract researchers' interest.…”
