Polysaccharides compounds

Theie aie only a few fat replacement products based on protein. LITA is a com protein—polysaccharide compound the role of the polysaccharide is to stabilize the protein (zein). The final product is 87% protein and 5% polysaccharide. The mixture, spray dried after processing, claims to look like cream on rehydration. It is low in viscosity, flavor, and lubricity, and is stable to mild heating. The protein particle size is 0.3—3 p.m (55). 

Polysaccharides - Compounds consisting of a large number of monosaccharides linked glycosidicaUy. This term is commonly used only for those containing more than ten monosaccharide residues. Also called glycans. [5]... 

Today, many mushrooms, in addition to maitake, are being recognized for their important health benefits. This is primarily because they are an excellent source of beta-glucan polysaccharide compounds that promote well-being. Beta-glucans (also known as beta-... 

In addition to pure proteins, there are still several classes of what are known as conjugated proteins, that is, compounds of proteins with non-o-amino acids, i.e., with what are called prosthetic groups. Chromoproteins are such compounds of proteins with metals. Glycoproteins contain less than 4%, but mucoproteins more than 4%, polysaccharides. Compounds of proteins with lipids are called lipoproteins, those with nucleic acids nucleoproteins, and those with flavine derivatives flavoproteins. Hemoproteins are compounds of proteins and iron porphyrines.

Polymers can be divided into two broad groups synthetic polymers and biopolymers. Synthetic polymers are synthesized by scientists, whereas biopolymers are synthesized by cells. Examples of biopolymers are DNA—the storage molecule for genetic information RNA and proteins—the molecules that facilitate biochemical transformations and polysaccharides—compounds that store energy and also function as structural materials. The structures and properties of these biopolymers are presented in other chapters. In this chapter, we will explore synthetic polymers.
