Garlic polysaccharides: A review on their extraction, isolation, structural characteristics, and bioactivities
Carbohydr Res. 2022 May 26;518:108599. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2022.108599. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGarlic has been considered as a source of highly promising functional food and traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years. Garlic polysaccharides is one of the important effective components of garlic, which has various bioactivities, including immune-enhancing, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant. Garlic polysaccharides is mainly composed of monosaccharides, such as Fru, Glc, and Gal, having a (2 → 1)-linked β-D-Fruf backbone with (2 → 6)-linked β-D-Fruf side chains. With great marketing potential and develo...

Production and extraction of carotenoids produced by microorganisms.
Abstract Carotenoids are a group of isoprenoid pigments naturally synthesized by plants and microorganisms, which are applied industrially in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical product formulations. In addition to their use as coloring agents, carotenoids have been proposed as health additives, being able to prevent cancer, macular degradation, and cataracts. Moreover, carotenoids may also protect cells against oxidative damage, acting as an antioxidant agent. Considering the interest in greener and sustainable industrial processing, the search for natural carotenoids has increased over the last few decades. In pa...
