The present work proposes the production of prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) as high-value co-products of the Lignocellulose Feedstock Biorefinery concept, foreseeing potential applications on food, feed and nutraceutical industries. Autohydrolysis was used to selectively solubilise the hemicellulosic fraction of several xylan-rich, widely available, agricultural, agro-industrial and forestry by-products: ...
Os materiais provenientes do processamento de matérias-primas nas agro-indústrias são usualmente considerados como não perigosos, abundantes, facilmente biodegradáveis, baratos e potencialmente valorizáveis. No entanto, devido às grandes quantidades processadas, podem constituir um problema ambiental, impondo assim um encargo económico significativo neste sector. A viabilidade económica da sua transformação/val...
Psyllium is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago, whose seeds are commercially used for mucilage production. Owing to its considerable fiber amount it has been used as dietary fiber supplement. Psyllium has a strong gelling ability, even at low temperature, enabling its use as a gelling agent in the food industry. This work is part of a project to developing jellies enriched with...
