Mannans are polymers containing the sugar mannose as a principal component. [1][2] They are a type of polysaccharide found in hemicellulose, a major source of biomass found in higher plants such as softwoods. These polymers also typically contain two other sugars, galactose and glucose. They are often branched (unlike cellulose).

Mannan (transl. Monarch) is a 1992 Indian Tamil-language masala film [1] written and directed by P. Vasu. The film stars Rajinikanth, Vijayashanti and Khushbu. It is a remake of the 1986 Kannada film Anuraga Aralithu. [2] The film was released on 15 January 1992, and ran for over 25 weeks in theatres.

2018年11月1日 · In the food industry, mannans have various applications such as edible films/coating, gel formation, stiffeners, viscosity modifiers, stabilizers, texture improvers, water absorbants, as prebiotics in dairy products and bakery, seasonings, diet foods, coffee whiteners etc. Applications and functions of these commonly used commercially available ...

Mannan is the second most abundant hemicellulose in nature existing as structural and storage polysaccharides in both higher plants and seaweeds. Mannan comprises four different types of mannan, i.e., linear mannan, galactomannan, glucomannan, and galactoglucomannan (Moreira and Filho 2008).

2008年5月1日 · Mannan is one of the major constituent groups of hemicellulose in the wall of higher plants. It comprises linear or branched polymers derived from sugars such as d -mannose, d -galactose, and d -glucose. The principal component of softwood hemicellulose is glucomannan.
