Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’ (2018)
Journal Article
Gidley, M. J., & Yakubov, G. E. (2019). Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’. Trends in Food Science and Technology, 86, 563-568. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2018.12.006

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Background: Diets rich in dietary fibre are associated with multiple health benefits, but there is often only a restricted understanding of the mechanisms underlying these associations. This limits the ability to select or design... Read More about Functional categorisation of dietary fibre in foods: Beyond 'soluble’ vs ‘insoluble’.

Probing adhesion between nanoscale cellulose fibres using AFM lateral force spectroscopy: the effect of hemicelluloses on hydrogen bonding (2018)
Journal Article
Dolan, G. K., Cartwright, B., Bonilla, M. R., Gidley, M. J., Stokes, J. R., & Yakubov, G. E. (2019). Probing adhesion between nanoscale cellulose fibres using AFM lateral force spectroscopy: the effect of hemicelluloses on hydrogen bonding.

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The structures of two hydrogels formed by purified brush-like polysaccharides from Plantago ovata seed mucilage have been characterised from the nanometre to micrometre scale by using a combination of SANS and USANS techniques. Th... Read More about Multi-scale assembly of hydrogels formed by highly branched arabinoxylans from Plantago ovata seed mucilage studied by USANS/SANS and rheology.
