Sweeteners of one kind or another have been found in human diets since prehistoric times and are types of carbohy- drates. The role they play in the diet is constantly debated. Consumers satisfy their “sweet tooth” with a variety of sweeteners and use them in foods for several reasons other than sweetness. For example, sugar is used as a preservative in jams and jellies, it provides body and texture in ice cream and baked goods, and it aids in fermentation in breads and pickles.

  • Oat Beta Glucans
    Oat beta glucans Oat bran is produced by removing the starchy content of the grain. It is rich in dietary fibers, especially in soluble fibers, present in the inner periphery of the kernel. Oats contain more soluble fibers than any other grain, resulting in slower digestion and an extended sensation of fullness, among other things. Oat is a rich source of the water-soluble fiber (1,3/1,4) β-glucan, and its effects on health have been extensively studied over the last 30 years. Oat β-glucans can be highly concentrated in different types of oat brans. The beta glucan content varies, from 3-5% depending on variety when it grows in the field. Rolled oat/oat flakes is about 4% and also wholemeal oat flour about 4%. With Swedish Oat Fiber’s specially developed fractionating process, we can do concentrations of beta glucans from 6% up to 32%. Beta-D-glucans, usually referred to as beta glucans, comprise a class of indigestible polysaccharides widely found in nature in sources such as grains, barley, yeast, bacteria, algae and mushrooms. In oats, they are concentrated in the bran, more precisely in the aleurone and sub-aleurone layer (see picture above). Oat beta glucan is a natural soluble fiber. It is a viscous polysaccharide made up of units of the monosaccharide D-glucose. Oat beta glucan is composed of mixed-linkage polysaccharides. This means the bonds between the D-glucose units are either beta-(1 →3) linkages or beta-(1 →4) linkages. This type of beta-glucan is also referred to as a mixed- linkage (1 →3), (1 →4)-beta-D-glucan.

  • Carbohydrates: Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
    Carbohydrates: Disaccharides and Polysaccharides Disaccharides Linkage of the anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide to the OH of another monosaccharide via a condensation reaction. The bond is termed a glycosidic bond. The end of the disaccharide that contains the anomeric carbon is referred to as the reducing end because it is capable of reducing various metal ions. Formation of a glycosidic bond between two glucose molecules. Nomenclature: To describe disaccharides you need to specify the following: 1. The names of the two monosaccharides. 2. How they are linked together (one anomeric is always used). 3. The configuration of the anomeric carbons on both monosaccharides. The Six Simple Rules for Naming Disaccharides are as follows: 1. The non-reducing end defines the first sugar. 2. Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the 1st sugar (α,β). 3. Name of 1st monosaccharide, root name followed by pyranosyl (6- ring) or furanosyl (5-ring). 4. Atoms which are linked together, 1st sugar then 2nd sugar. 5. Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the second sugar (α,β) (often omitted if the anomeric carbon is free since α and β forms are in equilibrium.) 6. Name of 2nd monosaccharide, root name followed by pyranose (6- ring) or furanose (5-ring) (If both anomeric carbons are involved, then the name ends in ‘oside”, not ‘ose’) Example: Sucrose (table sugar): The anomeric carbon of glucose forms a bridge to the anomeric carbon of fructose. Since there is no reducing end, either sugar can be used to begin the name. Sucrose, drawn in two different ways. Note that both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic linkage, thus both conformations have to be specified.

Academic Editor: Cédric Delattre Received: 23 June 2019; Accepted: 8 July 2019; Published: 10 July 2019 Abstract: Polyporus umbellatus is a well-known and important medicinal fungus in Asia. Its polysaccharides possess interesting bioactivities such as antitumor, antioxidant, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory effects. A qualitative and quantitative method has been established for the analysis of 12 monosaccharides comprising polysaccharides of Polyporus umbellatus based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization–ion trap–time of flight–mass spectrometry. The hydrolysis conditions of the polysaccharides were optimized by orthogonal design. The results of optimized hydrolysis were as follows: neutral sugars and uronic acids 4 mol/L trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 6 h, 120 ◦C; and amino sugars 3 mol/L TFA, 3 h, 100 ◦C. The resulting monosaccharides derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone have been well separated and analyzed by the established method. Identification of the monosaccharides was carried out by analyzing the mass spectral behaviors and chromatography characteristics of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone labeled monosaccharides. The results showed that polysaccharides in Polyporus umbellatus were composed of mannose, glucosamine, rhamnose, ribose, lyxose, erythrose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, xylose, and fucose.
