Abstract

Mannans were extracted from S. cerevisiae, the rheological properties of mannan solutions were important in many industrial applications. In this paper, effects of mannans concentration, solution temperature, pH, type of salts and their concentrations on apparent viscosity were investigated. The conformational parameters of yeast mannas were determined by SEC-MALS-RI-DP. The Higiro's 1 and Higiro's 2 plots obtained by capillary viscometry gave an intrinsic viscosity of 0.166 and 0.131dl/g. The yeast mannan solution showed Newtonian flow behavior at all the tested concentrations. The apparent viscosity of yeast mannans solution decreased continuously with increase in temperature (25°C-85°C) at a given shear rate. The viscosity did not change within the pH values of 4.0 to 10.0, however, it increased when the pH decreased from 4.0 to 2.0. The viscosity decreased with addition of CaCl2 up to 10mM and remained constant above this concentration. The conformational parameters (derived from [η] vs Mw and Rg vs Mw) showed yeast mannans existed as a sphere-like shape with many shorter branches. The special flow behavior and conformation of yeast mannans may make it preferable polysaccharide in food industry.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 November 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
#5,445
of 7,499 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#298,045
of 339,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
#108
of 172 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,499 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 339,379 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 172 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
