Preparation and characterization of a novel pH-response dietary fiber: Chitosan-coated konjac glucomannan

Rheological properties and structural characterization of salep improved by ethanol treatment

“…The shape of glucomannan granules preserved against ethanol treatment. The shapes of granules in present study exhibited roughly similar results with the result of Xu et al (2014a) but good agreement with (Zhao et al, 2015) for konjac glucomannan. Razavi, Nyamathulla, Karimian, and Noordin (2015) demonstrated palmate tuber salep glucomannan granules as irregular rod-shaped with roughened surfaces.…”

Manufacture and Properties of Glucomannans and Glucomannooligosaccharides Derived from Konjac and Other Sources

“…However, its application in the food industry can be limited by the high viscosity and low mobility of its solutions . For this reason, several authors have focused their research on decreasing its viscosity while maintaining its native structure, for example, by the preparation of pH-response dietary fibers based on chitosan and coated KGM. , In this way, the chitosan decreased the viscosity of KGM under neutral conditions, thus overcoming the main limitation for its application in the food industry. On the other hand, the protective function of deacetylated KGM in the physicochemical and structural properties of surimi gel subjected to high temperatures has been also recently demonstrated …”

Preparation, physicochemical and pharmaceutical characterization of chitosan from Catharsius molossus residue

“…It is widely used in biomedicine and other industrial fields due to its multidimensional properties and highly complex functions [3,4]. Chitosan has great potential as a controlled-release drug excipient owing to its outstanding properties, such as membrane-forming, degradation and biocompatibility [5,6].…”
