Characterization of capsular polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates by hydrodynamic methods (2015)
Book Chapter

Hydrodynamic methods are relevant for the characterization of carbohydrates such as capsular bacterial polysaccharides or glycoconjugates in solution. This chapter focuses on the following hydrodynamic methods: sedimentation velocity analytical ultra...

Hydrodynamic characterisation of chitosan and its interaction with two polyanions: DNA and xanthan (2014)
Journal Article

Chitosan, a soluble polycationic derivative of insoluble chitin, has been widely considered for use in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Commercial (“C”) and in-house laboratory (“L”) prepared chitosan samples extracted from crustaceo...

On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: a short review (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Polysaccharides and their derivatives are increasingly being used by the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries: physical properties like size and conformation are important contributors to their performance. Discussion: Here the u... Read More about On hydrodynamic methods for the analysis of the sizes and shapes of polysaccharides in dilute solution: a short review.

Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: The bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan is a well-known hydrocolloid, with a high viscosity deriving from its large molecular weight and volume. Materials and methods: Four different xanthans deriving from Xanthomanas campestris -two w...
