Chengxiao, Yu; Dongmei, Wu; Kai, Zhu; Hou, Lijuan; Xiao, Hang; Ding, Tian; Liu, Donghong; Ye, Xingqian; Linhardt, Robert J.; Chen, Shiguo (2021-10-15)

Several studies are described that contribute to the systematic exploration of new aspects of digestion, fermentation, and biological activities of pectic polysaccharides (PPS) leading to a better understanding of prebiotics. ...
Highly branched RG-I domain enrichment are indispensable for pectin mitigating against high-fat diet-induced obesity

Zhu, Kai; Mao, Guizhu; Wu, Dongmei; Yu, Chengxiao; Cheng, Huan; Xiao, Hang; Ye, Xingqian; Linhardt, Robert J.; Orfila, Caroline; Chen, Shiguo (2020-08-12)

Obesity is associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis. Our previous research has shown that highly branched rhamnogalacturonan type I (RG-I)-enriched pectin (WRP, 531.5 kDa, 70.44% RG-I, Rha/(Gal + Ara) = 20) and its ...
