Guar gum is a highly viscous water soluble heteropolysaccharide obtained from guar seed endosperm portion. Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) is low in viscosity and has the healthy benefits as the dietary fiber. In this study, the effect of amount of acidolysis agent, ethanol content, acidolysis temperature and time on the acidolysis degree of guar gum was investigated by using the solvent method. The thermal properties were characterized by the idifferential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetric analyzer, respectively. It was showed that the better conditions for preparing PHGG were: acidolysis temperature 40°C, acidolysis time 4h, ethanol mass concentration 61%, respectively. The freeze-thaw stability, expansion capability decreased after guar gum was partially hydrolized by hydrochloric acid. The onset temperature, end temperature and peak temperature of PHGG all increased, but its melting enthalpy and thermal stability were reduced, compared with those of guar gum.

Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) is a water-soluble dietary fiber and is used in solid and liquid food to regulate gut function. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of PHGG on bowel movements (stool form and frequency), plasma bile acids, quality of life, and gut microbiota of healthy volunteers with a tendency toward diarrhea, i.e., irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea (IBS-D)-like symptoms. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and parallel trial was performed on 44 healthy volunteers (22 males, 22 females, 41.9 ± 6.3 years old (average ± SD)) with minimum 7 bowel movements every week, wherein above 50% of their stool was between the Bristol stool scale (BSS) value of 5 and 6. Intake of the PHGG for 3 months significantly improved stool form, evaluated using BSS, and had no effects on stool frequency. BSS was significantly normalized in the group consuming the PHGG compared with the placebo. Comprehensive fecal microbiome analysis by the 16S rRNA-sequence method detected significant changes in the ratio of some bacteria, such as an increase of Bifidobacterium (p < 0.05) in the PHGG group. Our results suggest that intake of PHGG improves human stool form via regulating intestinal microbiota.

AbstractSyntheses of oligoetherols with a 1,3-pyrimidine ring and boron atoms using 6-aminouracil, ethylene carbonate and boric acid has been proposed. The structure of the obtained products were determined by instrumental methods (IR, 1H-NMR and MALDI-ToF spectra). The physicochemical and thermal properties of oligoetherols were examined. The products were characterized by high thermal stability. Based on the tests performed, it was found that oligoetherols obtained from 6-aminouracil, boric acid and ethylene carbonate are suitable for the manufacturing of polyurethane foams with improved thermal stability and reduced flammability.

Oxidative polymerization of 3-amino,2'-,(3')-nitrodiphenylazomethine was carried out in various ways. A possible mechanism for the polymerization of 3-amino,2'-,(3')- nitrodiphenylazomethine, where chain growth occurs as type N-C, is shown. It has been found that the yield of the polymer product is affected by the polymerization process and time. The chemical structure of the polymers obtained is established. The study of the thermal properties of polymers showed a low thermal stability and the process of destruction proceeds in two stages.
