“…Consistently, our results demonstrated that GAC of WB-DF was significantly higher than that of AL-DF and W-DF ( p < 0.05). Increasing the porosity, cracks, surface area of DF, and exposure of (non-) polar groups can enhance the entrapment of glucose molecules within the fiber network, thereby increasing its GAC ( Jiang, Ramachandraiah, et al, 2022 ; Liu, Zhang, Yi, Quan, & Lin, 2021 ). WB-DF exhibited higher GAC than other DFs due to its higher WHC and easier access of hydrophilic glucose molecules to the fiber, facilitating their binding ( Zheng, Xu, Shi, et al, 2022 ).…”
