Preparation, structure, and biological activities of the polysaccharides from fruits and vegetables: A review

Aloe polysaccharides ameliorate obesity-associated cognitive dysfunction in high-fat diet-fed mice by targeting the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity

“…The gut microbiota is associated with HF-induced obesity and related symptoms (such as cognitive impairment), and the regulation of the gut microbiota by natural polysaccharides is increasingly recognized as a promising treatment strategy for HF-induced metabolic syndrome. 26 Polysaccharides come from a variety of sources, including fruits, 27 vegetables, 28 grains, 29 edible fungi, 30 and marine organisms. 31 It is worth noting that aloe vera and its extracts are also considered valuable resources for alleviating obesity, related metabolic syndrome and intestinal barrier damage.…”

Polissacarídeos Naturais: Anacardium Occidentale L. E Suas Aplicações Na Obtenção De Scaffolds Para Liberação De Fármacos

“…Como fonte de polissacarídeos, as frutas representam uma matriz abundante de obtenção, presente em diversas partes como cascas e sementes que são normalmente descartadas após o processamento (Gao et al, 2023). Nesse sentido, o Anacardium ocidentale representa uma fonte promissora para obtenção de polissacarídeo vegetal com potencial de aplicação em formulações farmacêuticas, uma vez que a goma já é bastante explorada por suas atividades biológicas e tecnológicas (Ribeiro et al, 2020).…”

Food Polysaccharides and Proteins: Processing, Characterization, and Health Benefits

“…Among these accepted manuscripts, various critical properties and mechanisms of natural macromolecular substances had been put forward, many focusing on the separation and purification of new protein and polysaccharide resources, as well as their changes in structure and nutritional function during processing. Polysaccharides are biomacromolecule carbohydrates wildly found in nature, consisting of multiple monosaccharide units connected by glycosidic bonds [1]. The advancement in isolation and identification techniques has led to a significant surge of interest and research in polysaccharides.…”
