An understanding of the basic structure, viscoelastic properties and interactions of mucin
glycoproteins is of considerable interest to food science because of the important protective …

Whole saliva is a complex mixture of proteins and other molecules which originate from
several sources. The biochemical and physicochemical properties of saliva contribute to the …

The ulcer-causing gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is the only bacterium known to
colonize the harsh acidic environment of the human stomach. H. pylori survives in acidic …

Mucins are large glycoproteins that are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. Mucins coat the
surfaces of many cell types and can be secreted to form mucus gels that assume important …

The influence of an anionic marine polysaccharide (fucoidan) on the gastrointestinal fate of
emulsified fish oils stabilized by different types of natural and synthetic emulsifier was …

Gastric mucin, a high molecular weight glycoprotein, is responsible for providing the gel-
forming properties and protective function of the gastric mucus layer. Bulk rheology …

Numerous efforts have been attempted to mimic human tongue since years. However, they
still have limitations because of damages, temperature effects, detection ranges etc. Herein …

Artificial tongues have been receiving increasing attention for the perception of five basic
tastes. However, it is still challenging to fully mimic human tongue–like performance for …

Upon consumption of emulsions, mixing with saliva occurs. This article shows that whole
saliva and a model mucin (pig gastric mucin, PGM) are able to induce extensive droplet …

The bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), has evolved to survive in the highly acidic
environment of the stomach and colonize on the epithelial surface of the gastric mucosa. Its …
